Diagonaldi Very well executed

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Bubble Trouble" is an American 16.5-minute live action short film from 1953, so this one has its 65th anniversary next year and if you take a look at the people who worked on it in front of as well as behind the camera, then you will find names that make it obvious that here we got another Three Stooges short film and I am not just talking about the lead trio. This is from the days when Shemp had not only taken over from Curly, but Curly had already died sadly and Shemp's death wasn't too far away either. All the Stooges are in their 50s in here. It is a remake of an older Stooges short with some alterations here and there, but as a whole it is really close. In here they are in trouble with the guy they got their lease from, but his wife is more fond of our three "heroes". And an invention may actually bring them glory as they may have come across a miraculous elixir that provides its user access to the fountain of youth. No surprise the antagonist wants his share of it too. Comedy here is typical Stooges and there are some okay moments in here I guess. However, as a whole it was simply done in the past already and comes short in terms of innovation. Besides, it needs to be said that the effects here, such as the woman's transformation, are extremely disappointing. Méliès had done better half a century earlier. So all in all the flaws are bigger than the pros I must say and while I am not one of those Shemp haters, I cannot give the gang a thumbs-up here. I may be a bit biased as I have probably never been the greatest Stooges lover, but this one gets a negative recommendation. Only watch it if you love the Stooges.

maxcellus46 For this one time, that I can think of, the "remake" is actually better than the original. The original "All Gummed Up" just stops at the birthday cake scene with everybody blowing bubbles then...that's it. It just seems normal that there should be another sequence added on to wrap up the fountain of youth concept, but there isn't. Obviously, in this version, someone in the studio actually realized the error and brought it to everyone's attention. So the ending is added where Mr. Flint demands that he wants to be young again like his newly transformed wife but it has a surprising effect on the male species. It turns them into apes! Now he turns into an angry and powerful gorilla and chases the boys around the drugstore. This is what was totally lacking in the original. That sense of urgency, tension and fear that is so much a part of a good comedy. I don't mean to discount the original and most of the footage from that one is used here but go for the remake first and then compare. You'll see what I mean. Enjoy!

csweetleaf2 Even though I haven't seen this stooge short in about 2 years, it's a pretty short even though we don't get to see the new footage until the last 4 or 5 minutes of the short and that's when it becomes a classic (I never cared for All Gummed Up and I think that short was Shemp's weakest of the 1940's).In the original Emil Sitka shrank after trying to drink the fountain of youth but in this short, he becomes a gorilla and grabs Moe and starts banging his head on the floor and his head becomes a squashed pancake and Moe and Larry suggest that the gorilla needs a mate and they get Shemp to try it and Shemp shoves it inside Moe's mouth and he does a chimp impersonation.Not of one of the better remakes from the 1953-56 period but the gorilla scene makes it a classic, 2.25 out of 5 stars.

holme-1 "Bubble Trouble" is a great step up from "All Gummed Up" since much has been corrected. The first thing that was corrected in this remake was the original's poor set-up. In the original, the bubble gum cake scene was tacked on at the end, but its fixed in this one since the bubble gum scene is placed in the middle, where it should've been in the first place. Another problem was that there wasn't too much excitement to be had here. This was fixed in the remake with a new ending which lasted 5 minutes in which the stooges are attacked by Mr. Flint, which is fast and funny. Overall, one of the most successful of the 1953-1956 remakes.Grade: B+
