Sure, some of the great stooge routines are recreated but mainly this tells the story of their lives and film careers and does that well. As curly was the star of the real stooges so in this movie the star is the guy who plays curly (Michael Chiklis). He really does a great impersonation - both looks and sounds like the original. Makes me wonder why after the real-life curly died, the act didn't just get a curly impersonator instead of bothering with the unfunny shemp.
One complaint i have is that the movie covers 30-40 years of their career and yet they don't seem to age a day! Their wives do, but not the stooges.
