DVD Reviews of Snow White and the Three Stooges
DVD Review: Not that bad, not that great
Summary: 3 Stars
This actually doesn't seem like a half-bad little film if one takes it as a children's fairytale and not a Three Stooges movie. It is interesting and pleasant enough, and sticks fairly well to the familiar Snow White story (with the obvious exception of the Seven Dwarves not being in it); I can definitely see it as being rather appealing to young children. And it is gorgeous to look at, being in Technicolor. However, even taking that into consideration, it doesn't exactly hold up as great top-notch entertainment either. It just symbolises what the Stooges had become in this final phase of their career when they were being marketed heavily to children and forced to seriously tone down the slapstick violence by parents' groups. Being child-friendly does not have to equate being boring, watered-down, lame, and unintelligent. A lot of their classic shorts can be considered child-friendly without being bad kiddy fare. And if the kids of the era were able to watch those shorts in syndication without incident, it wouldn't have killed the powers that be to have allowed some more violence in their features. (There are a couple of pretty violent scenes, but none of them with the Stooges.) Apart from the opening scene where the prologue is told via the storybook, with the Stooges periodically popping up on pages where they shouldn't, the only times I laughed were when the film was so unintentionally bad it was funny.
Moe and Larry do a valiant job with the crummy material (and DeRita once again exhibits no real chemistry with them, let alone much of a personality), but apart from that, there's some extraordinarily bad acting, particularly from Carol Heiss. She was rather pretty and was a great iceskater, but who told her she could act? And then there are the lame songs and some rather long and boring iceskating scenes, esp. the one around the midway point. At least these songs and iceskating scenes might not have seemed so bad had they actually had something to do with the plot. And while it is a kind of nice change of pace to see the Stooges in dramatic pathos-laden roles, they just don't seem like themselves. The kindly grandfatherly types they played in this era are so at odds with their well-established characters from the entire rest of their career! We know that at heart they're sympathetic and even lovable guys, but they're not supposed to be this nice and sweet! The color also makes them look their age; in black and white, even in the last of their shorts, they seem beyond the constraints of their actual ages. In particular, it makes Moe's eye-bags look even more pronounced. I'm glad they were finally able to be in starring full-length features and to make serious money after so long of being exploited, but I just wish these features had been more tailored to their talents and strengths, instead of being boring embarrassing sappy watered-down bad kiddy fare. While I could recommend it as a nice old-fashioned children's movie, I could never recommend it as a great Stooges movie.
