Spectator – A Three Nyuks Salute
Three Jews are in a room screaming at one another, poking each other in the eyes, hitting each other on the head with objects ranging from frying pans to anvils. It\’s either a meeting of the synagogue\’s board of trustees or a Three Stooges film festival. Fortunately, this time, it\’s the latter, a quick but lethal — and lethally funny — display of Stoogehood by the American Cinematheque as part of its year-end festivities from Dec. 28-Dec.30.
