Gee I don't wanna see this

Warning: Spoilers
Okay, it was not that bad admittedly, but first things first: G.I. Wanna Home" is an American 15-minute comedy short film from 1946, so this one had its 70th anniversary last year. It is from one year after the end of WWII and if you read the names White and Adler here, then maybe you guess correctly that here we got another Three Stooges short film and this is in fact one of the final films from the long-running series starring Curly before his health forced him out. Actually, you can already see that he was certainly not in great shape and I am not referring to the weight here. Anyway, as for the film: The title already tells that this is actually somewhat referring to the end of the war and soldiers coming home with the usual play on words by the Stooges. Actually, this is among the better Stooges films' titles I've come across. But this alone doesn't make it a good watch. In here the Stooges are facing housing problem, something that is still oh so common seven decades later when it comes to looking for apartments etc. Back to the film: Moe is a bit more of a bully in here and more slap happy than usual. Bot story-wise, it was never really on a level where I would recommend the watch, neither in terms of the plot nor in terms of the comedy nor in terms of the romance. Then again, if you like the trio more than I do, then perhaps you will have a solid time watching here. I personally give it a thumbs-down though. Not recommended.
