In a perfect bit of anti-nunnular casting, Larry David plays Sister Mary-Mengele.

The Stooges are first seen as criminally precocious wards of the state, under the care of a head nun played by Jane Lynch. The original Stooges’ first short film was The Woman Haters (no relation to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) in 1934, and while the new movie is set in a recognizable present - it includes extended cameos from the cast of Jersey Shore - it revolves around that timeless font of tragi-comedy, the orphanage. And Will Sasso (Curly) was nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award for his “pretty funny male performance” on MADtv, which is itself pretty funny.įinally, it’s adamantly old school. Chris Diamantopoulos (Moe) once played Robin Williams in a made-for-TV movie. Sean Hayes as Larry is probably the best known of the three, for a character he last played on TV’s Will & Grace six years ago. Jim Carrey, Benicio Del Toro, Johnny Knoxville, Johnny Depp, Sean Penn, Hank Azaria and Tommy Lee Jones have all been considered - OK, I was kidding about Jones - but the filmmakers eventually went with relative unknowns, saving us from excessive celebri-mugging.
