Movie Reviews of Shemp Cocktail: A Toast To The Original Stooge
Movie Review: Shemp deserves better
Summary: 2 Stars
What a disappointing DVD. The only saving grace was the bonus feature: Remembering Shemp, but even that got tedious with repeated footage continually going on throughout the feature. How many times do you have to see Shemp waving a hanky around? 6 or seven times? The quality of all the shorts are terrible, the worst being the Camel Comedy Caravan with what looks like a cat's coughed-up furball on the upper left-hand corner of the screen during the whole show. Though it was nice to see some of Shemp's early work, with the way the are wonderfully restoring the Three Stooges, you are better to wait until the volumes come out with Shemp in them before you waste your money on this DVD.Movie Review: Big Time Ripoff
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a huge Stooge fan and really got ripped off on this DVD ... The sound and picture quality of the non-stooge shorts was just awful. The interviews of family and friends were boring and dreadful ... I am hugely disappointed in this DVD ... it is a shame because Shemp deserves better.Movie Review: A "Stooge" for all seasons!
Summary: 4 Stars
The "3 Stooges", was, one of the best, visually-entertaining ('slapstick') 'menu of comedy', ever to come out of America. The "Little Rascals" was the other. Shemp was a comic genious extraordinaire. No 'modern day' comedian could even begin, to compete with him (with the possible exceptions of Tommy Cooper and Jack Benny) when it all boils down to, merely, appearing on the screen, and, making the viewer wish, that, such an 'appearance' would go on; indefinitely. Movie Review: Great addition to my collection
Summary: 5 Stars
I had no idea he was as funny without the other Stooges untill I watched this dvd. What a performer!Movie Review: Shemptastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE the Stooges. They never fail to make me laugh, ever. This special salute to Shemp is amazing. The old films are something to be studied, if only for their historic film value. I have NEVER seen these earliest works of Shemps, and am thrilled to have them in my collection now.
Shemps was such a natural. He never seemed to be in character, so much as he WAS the character. He had a smooth approach to his roles that made him seem to glide through his scenes.
The bonus clips, with his family members, is worth it alone. The old photo's, and home movies are fantastic. And the stories are really sweet. Shemp seemed like he was one of the nicest guys in the world.
I love Curly, Moe and Larry too, but a tribute to Shemp is long overdue, and he is most deserving of it. Hopefully there will be more to come.
Any Stooge fan should own this, PERIOD!!
