    Kevin James is, although he wouldn't make a good Curly. Frank Caliendo can't act, but he's fat and funny (in verrrrrry short bursts.)

    Carrey can pull it off if he can get the look down. That's a big if. (And it still won't work if the other Stooges suck. Better to just watch the old ones over and over again.)

    Couple bad fat comedy actors: Horatio Sanz (who's got the look, but nowhere near the comedy chops), Jim Belushi.

    Fat guys are always funnier than skinny guys. Farley would have been great for this.

    Jim Carey lost his touch.

    The weight is not the issue; that can be handled.

    Carrey, though, is about 6-foot-2 and Curly was 5-5.

    You mean this isn't a movie about the last presidential administration?

    Man, Rosie O'Donnell has really let herself go.

    One of the sad things about watching Yes Man (outside the fact I was watching Yes Man of my own volition) was that you could tell it was a move made for 1995 Carrey, but it starred 2008 Carrey. He's not the slapstick guy anymore (though he's going to be Scrooge in this winter's remake of A Christmas Carol, and I bet he's really good in that role).

    Bucky: Horatio Sanz would be easily the third of three in that trio, but Curly's humor draws from short blasts of comedy, so he might be OK for that. Except Curly makes the Stooges go round, so putting someone like Sanz there would be like signing everyone on the All-Pro offensive lines, and Ryan Leaf.

    Drew Carey's another fatty, but he's not really a slapstick guy. He could be Joe, who was useless and sucked. Right down his alley.

    You know something? That might actually be the best answer yet. If she wouldn't mind going bald.

    The really sad thing is they did make Yes Man in 1995. I believe it was called Liar Liar.

    Are the Three Stooges the ugliest group of famous people ever? As far as entertainers go, they've gotta be top five. These were three ugly guys:

    They'd get nowhere today looking like that. Even when the guys they got to replace Curly were ugly.

    You could say Laurel and Hardy were ugly. I don't think Stan Laurel was an ugly guy. Just regular looking. But even if you agree that they were ugly, they are only two guys. I am talking about famous groups with more than two people. There's probably dozens and dozens of band you can say are ugly, but I'll bet even in those bands there was at least one good looking person. The Three Stooges were all butt ugly.
