Pop, Your" Poifect"!:AThree Stooges Salute to Dad [Hardcover]

Inc C3 Entertainment (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2, 2002

Arguably the most recognizable and influential comedy team of all time, The Three Stooges have been making the world laugh since 1930. For four decades, The Three Stooges were kings of the box office - first in a series of legendary comic shorts for Columbia and later in a string of successful feature films. In all, they made over 200 films! These two new books pair vintage black-and-white photos from The Three Stooges' incredible film archive with short and snappy text that celebrates fathers and birthdays. "Why I Oughta..." is an encouraging little reminder that getting older doesn't have to be painful ("Even if some of aren't as curly as we used to be"). Pop, You're "Poifect!" pays tribute to dear old Dad. Written to be given as a gift, it offers an apology for the trials kids put parents through ("I know that there were nights when I kept you awake with worry, and days I probably made you pull out your hair in frustration - especially grade card days.") and words of thanks. ("So thanks for all the times you've bailed me out - no literally, of course - not yet.") The words work in perfect tandem with the slapstick shots of The Three Stooges in action - and the net result is two books sure to delight. So, will these books be a hit? "Soitenly!"

4.0 out of 5 stars A 3 Stooges tribute, January 25, 2003

This review is from: Pop, Your" Poifect"!:AThree Stooges Salute to Dad (Hardcover)

This was a cute little present I recently got for my birthday. It actually is a combination greeting card and book in a testimonial to dads. There is a wonderful array of black and white photos of the unparalleled kings of slapstick comedy featuring the Three Stooges. Under each photo is an appropriate saying in appreciation for being such a special father.

Being a big and long time fan of Moe, Larry, Curly & Shemp, I go a real kick out of seeing the boys in some of their most memorable scenes.

Originally bought this book instead of a Card for my Dad for Father's Day, and Signed the inside of the back cover as if he were a Father's Day Card. It's been a couple years since I bought it, and he still keeps in mounted on his entertainment center.

This review is from: Pop, Your" Poifect"!:AThree Stooges Salute to Dad (Hardcover)

This swift gift book is cute, and is filled with pictures of our favorite stooges with fun taglines. Constructed to be a Father's Day gift from a son to a dad, it will bring a few chuckles and smiles. Many of the pictures are in standard Stooge calenders. The writing is not particularly funny for anyone over 12. Fans of the Stooge shorts will recognize where the captured frames were first shown.

The limits of any Stooge print product is it misses the master delivery by Moe, Larry and Curly, and even the late-comer Stooges, Shemp, Joe ad CurlyJoe. A good thwap on the forehead isn't able to be retold in a printed picture.

The Stooges are an American icon as much as Elvis, Snoopy and Mickey Mouse. Few parts of popular culture can be enjoyed by both father and son as the Stooges, helping making this book an worthy gift from a younger boy looking to please Pop.

I fully recommend "Pop, Your" Poifect"! A Three Stooges Salute to Dad" by Patrick Regan.
