Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This short is an oddity in that it hardly has any stooge dialogue or slapstick! The verbal exchanges are limited in that they simply advance the plot; we have no wisecracks, visual jokes, or typical dumbness associated with the boys. And you can count on one hand the amount of slapstick gags.Many talk about how Curly was in failing health in this short, but surprisingly he has a lot of energy. Outside of the fact that his voice is lower than normal, he engages in typical Curly antics which show him to be full of vim and verve. Too bad they didn't give him much to do.This short has the most bizarre scene I think I've ever seen in all the shorts. The three are made up in blackface and are in a huddle; Larry says, "If we-all can get that map back to headquarters, we-all can win this war!" Curly responds, "Yeah, and then we-all can get married!" Moe rolls eyes and chirps, "Brothers, you just ejaculated a mouthful!" (While that verb does have the appropriate meaning--to espouse--even in 1946, the stooges surely were giggling under their makeup.)

"Uncivil War Birds", directed by Jules White, is a rather unique Three Stooges short. It casts the boys as Southern gentlemen who resolve to fight in the Civil War. The overall situation of Curly's Confederate uniform mixed in with Moe's & Larry's Union outfits is entertaining indeed. One highlight: In order to obtain some Confederate uniforms for Moe & Larry, Curly scoops up a pile of red ants and slips them down the trousers of two Confederate soldiers.With the Stooges sporting long sideburns and speaking in Southern drawls, "Uncivil War Birds" offers a refreshing change of pace to the long list of Three Stooges shorts. (In addition, a fine arrangement of "Dixie" is heard during the opening credits in place of the standard "Three Blind Mice".) Somehow, I really feel that Larry is the one who stands out in this film, and he truly deserves to, after all the times he's been pushed into the background. As for Curly, he was suffering some health troubles, but in this film they are fortunately not very noticeable.

The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team! This is a great Three Stooges short and it has become one of My favorites! I just love it when Joe Palma talks to Cy Schindell and says about the corpse moving and Schindell says something like sure if he'd have wings he'd fly away, maybe I should ask if he is dead and Curly replies and Schindell says to Palma that see he told you himself that he was dead and then they realize what has just happened. Its hilarious! Great one from beginning to end!

This short is very controversial because many people really like it and many people hate it. I for one really like it. I liked this one because they tried something new, and there was some great visual humor and gags. Curly turned in a great performance despite illness. Moe and Larry also do a great job in this short. I also think the supporting cast did a great job too.Grade: A-
