Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This is simply their worst. I love the Stooges and can watch their stuff for hours at a time, but this one is unwatchable. It's worse even than anything they did with Joe Besser. Joe, at least, was funny in his own right, even if he didn't really fit well with Moe and Larry; if you tuned out the fact that it was the Three Stooges and thought of it as Mr. Jillson from the Joey Bishop show with a couple of supporting players, those shorts could be mildly entertaining. But no such mental sleight of hand is possible here. This is Moe, Larry, and Curly; they were never anything other than the Three Stooges, and this one just doesn't work.Granted, it was their first effort as the Three Stooges sans Ted Healy; they were a new act, they probably had little control over content, and studio executives hadn't figured out yet how to best utilize their unique talents. I shudder to think what kind of place the world would be today if some genius at Columbia had watched this and liked it and decided that this would set the tone for the rest of the trio's career. Fortunately, that didn't happen. They would come back with Punch Drunks (which they co-wrote) and establish just who they were once and for all.Not that the premise itself - three men make a pact to stay away from women, one breaks the pact and falls in love - didn't have potential. But the device of having them spend the entire time talking to each other in verse just doesn't work. And in hindsight, with their entire body of work in front of us, this just isn't THEM. They were the best at what they did, but this was something else, and it just didn't suit them.

"Woman Haters" is probably the best of The Three Stooges' work. It was the first official Three Stooges film (they were Ted Healy and His Stooges before this film). This was their first film for Columbia Pictures. It was the only Three Stooges film in which all of the lines rhymed, making the lines more memorable. "Woman Haters" had a catchy musical score to make the dialogue flow nicely. Marjorie White was an adorable leading lady in her role as Jim's(Larry)wife. Tiny Sanford made a small cameo appearance as a cop. "Woman Haters" was the only Three Stooges film that had Larry in a leading role. "Woman Haters" is definitely a good film for Stooge fans to see the Stooges do something completely different. It was an excellent film to start off The Three Stooges series.

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 a very good Three Stooges short and this was the very first one from Columbia Pictures! The beautiful Marjorie White is in this one! Also Monte Collins, the very talented bug man Bud Jamison, Jack Norton, Don Roberts, Tiny Sandford, Dorothy Vernon, Leslie Goodwins, Charles Richman, Gilbert Emery, George Gray, Fred 'Snowflake' Toones, Walter Brennan, June Gittelson, and A.R. Haysel are in this very special Three Stooges short! The acting and the singing by the Stooges is excellent! There is another Three Stooges similar like this one with Shemp called Gypped in the Penthouse which is very funny. I recommend that you see Woman Haters!

We see a woman haters club and three men want to join. The men are of course Moe (who plays Tom), Larry (who plays Jim) and Curly (who plays Jack). Right after they have become members Larry wants to quit because he promised a beautiful girl, Mary (Marjorie White), to marry her. After an argument with Moe and Curly they decide he has to tell that he can't marry her. After Mary's father tells a story about a guy who tried to run away from his other daughter Larry is not so sure anymore. He does marry the girl and the trouble with Moe and Curly can begin. But can they all resist the beauty and charm of Mary?This is one of the nicest Three Stooges short. Not because it is so funny, there are good moments though, but because the whole short sounds like poetry. The dialogue is put on rhyme and it is really good. Marjorie White also adds something to the whole thing. A great little movie.
