My Episode Review on The Three Stooges: Restless Knights (Plus, an Update Regarding "A King's Grand Entrance") · 11:51pm Jan 25th, 2021
Greetings, my friends.
This is your top-of-the-line film, TV show, and episode reporter here with another review.
Today, I'm gonna give you guys my take of the Three Stooges's "Restless Knights".
Here's the rundown of it:
Set in medieval times, the Three Stooges are informed by their elderly father that the Queen of Anesthesia is in danger of being overthrown. Deciding to do all they can to protect her, the Stooges offer themselves to the queen as her personal bodyguards. However, protecting the queen won't be as easy as they thought, especially after she mysteriously vanishes without a trace.
Not gonna lie, I've been wanting to review this short for quite a long time. As a matter of fact, I remember watching this short right after "Horses' Collars" and enjoying it every step of the way back when I was young.
Having watched this short to analyze it at last, I'm happy to say that "Restless Knights" was as wonderful as I recalled it being.
For instance, the direction by Charles Lamont, and the story by Felix Adler, were spectacular!
Lamont is definitely no Del Lord or Jules White, but he captured the spirit and essence of a Stooge short beautifully while even bringing his own riffs to the table. The comedy throughout the short was brilliantly executed and hysterical, and the trio's mission to keep the queen safe helped the story be more than just a mere comedy. When it came to proving that the Three Stooges and medieval genre mix perfectly together, Lamont and Adler did a great job at doing just that. As a plus, the two of them created snappy dialogue for the characters.
And as always, the performances of the cast and the characters were fantastic.
The Three Stooges themselves were a blast to hang with, and they had all of the best moments in this installment. When it comes to choosing what the best moment featuring the three is, it's honestly hard to say. But, the parts where they take on the bad guys, eat an apple as the archers prepare to execute them, and wrestle one another were the moments I loved watching the most.
In conclusion, "Restless Knights" is another member of the Three Stooges filmography that manages to provide a rollicking great time. It's creatively written and directed, hilarious to the point of laughter, and contains amazing performances from the cast.
So, I rate "Restless Knights" five out of five stars.
On a side note completely unrelated to the Three Stooges, I'd like to tell you guys that "A King's Grand Entrance" was officially edited on January 21, 2021 by Norm De Plume, who previously edited "A Moment of Truth".
I asked him to edit "A King's Grand Entrance" for me because I had a feeling that there were some grammatical errors that needed correcting, and I think he did a great job at improving everything while still keeping to my vision and the story's narrative style.
5/5 Stars from me as well on this short! Reviewing two in one day?! You're on a real role, my friend!

Also, I love it when the Stooges say this:
Larry: All for one!
Moe: One for all!
Curly: Every man for himself!/I for myself!/I'll take care of myself.
