Unfortunately I missed some of this movie due to the fact I was laughing so hard I couldn't see through the tears in my eyes. It was that funny. Like the title says, funnier than the originals. This really is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. The three actors who play the stooges could not have been better. PG rating is well earned. Yes there is violence, however, it's very 'cartoony' and it is explained as such with a PSA. Other than that, no bad language and no sex. So take the kids and laugh out loud. 5 stars for what it is, not what it isn't. It's not the same 5 stars The Godfather would get.
