One of the best stooge comedies ever!, 3 October 2002
10/10
Author: Michael1958 from Fairfax, Va

A lot of the Three Stooges comedies are very basic-however, as in the case of Busy Buddies-they completely off-the-wall. I will not tell all, but the pacing of this short from start to finish is wonderfully done by Del Lord's direction. Please check it out-if you ever want to see the 3 wacky guys at their best check this one out or the even better Ache in Every Stake.
