Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is an almost 80-year-old 17-minute short film featuring Curly, Larry and Moe, the 3 most famous Stooges. However, here they are actually credited with other names, namely the names of their Buffalo Bill references Wild West characters, which is not too common for their films. The Stooges were all in their 30s when this was made and already pretty big stars. It's also obvious that Curly is the star at this point from the trio as he has basically all the really funny scenes. The director is Del Lord and the writer is Felix Adler. These two worked with the Stooges on uncountable occasions. It's a black-and-white film, like most of the Stooges' works and shows us how the trio runs into a gang of crooks in the Wild West. Lots of shooting going on, but as the Stooges are entirely comedy, nobody gets hurt. The funniest scene was maybe the card game, but the rest did not do too much for me and even if this is one of the Stooges' more famous film, I found it disappointing all in all. Not recommended.

In one of their funniest shorts Moe, Curly and Larry go west as three of the most intrepid scouts of the frontier respectively Wild Bill Hiccup, Buffalo Bilious, and Just Plain Bill. With the Indian Wars done, the cavalry under General Muster is turning its attention to cattle rustlers and the General sends the boys to deal with him.With quite a few laughs they do get the job done. Some wonderful bits as a jackass exposes the camouflage cover of three other jackasses. There's an interesting poker game and finally the Three Stooges with their backs to the wall improvise a Gatling gun to some very funny effects.Moe, Larry, and Curly are really at their top in Goofs And Saddles.

Goofs and Saddles (1937) *** (out of 4) Spoof of the Old West has The Three Stooges playing Wild Bill Hiccup, Buffalo Bilious and Just Plain Bill as the three are sent out to try and gather information on some cattle rustlers. This here is a pretty good short as it contains a nice amount of laughs as well as some funny physical stuff but I wouldn't necessarily call it a classic. The highlight would have to be a scene where the three dress themselves as trees so that they can spy on the enemy but they end up getting too close and one of the bad guys things he sees a rabbit jump into the bushes. Axe and gun play soon follow. Another nice sequence is a poker game where the Stooges start cheating without knowing the man they're playing with just killed three other men for doing the same thing. The nice shoot out at the end makes for an entertaining way to spend 20-minutes.

The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team! This is one of My favorite Three Stooges shorts with Curly! All Appearing in this short are Hank Bell, Stanley Blystone, Lew Davis, George Gray, Ethan Laidlaw, Eddie Laughton, Theodore Lorch, Sam Lufkin, Hank Mann, Joe Palma, and Cy Schindell! This one is so hilarious! Curly has a great performance here and in My opinion its one of his best. Look for Blystone's archive footage that is in this one in the 1954 Shemp classic Pals and Gals! I strongly recommend both of these Three Stooges shorts!
