Have Rocket, Will Travel is the first Three Stooges feature film after the team became television icons and Joe DeRita was called in to replace Joe Besser (who had replaced Shemp, who had replaced Curly). Aimed at a younger audience, it included a good deal of the physical violence their Snow White film tried to avoid. Curly Joe was given the old Curly shtick of being struck by a tool, exclaiming a painful "Oooo" and then giving a surprised reaction when the tool appears bent from the contact with his cement- like head. He is also prone to a weaker version of his role model's "Woowoowoo."
The plot revolves around the team's accidental launch into space and their adventures on a Venus that looks identical to Earth, including breathable air but housing a giant tarantula that breathes fire and a unicorn that speaks slightly archaic English. There is also an unconvincing robot that is lonesome enough to create three fellow robots in the form of the three Earthlings. This leads merely to a routine already familiar to viewers of old-time comedies: a chase down a corridor lined with doors through which the six are exiting and reentering in a physically impossible way.
The final sequence in which the returning "heroes" wreck a social event is overly familiar from the earlier films, especially the old "sofa spring stuck the rear" routine; and indeed it all seems tacked on to stretch the film to its 76 minutes. Light-comedy veteran Jerome Cowan does his best in a role that would have been handled by Jimmy Finlayson in a Laurel & Hardy film. It is good to hear the team sing the title and closing songs, but they add little to the film.
Children will love this feature, but they must be advised that the eye-poking and hitting are all tricks not to be emulated. --Frank Behrens

I do not own this movie, But i have seen it a thousand times. It's my favorite out of their features besides Snow White and the 3 Stooges. I would love to see it be brought out on DVD like all of the other great three stooges classics.I think that it's fantastic that they sing in the film that's a classic. Although i would have loved to have seen Curly Howard in the film. Don't get me wrong, i liked Curly-Joe DeRita, but he wasn't at all funny as Curly Howard. I would recommend this movie to any ...

With newcomer Curly look-a-like Joe DeRita joining the team, the Three Stooges finally (after 24 years of shorts!) made the jump to feature films with "Have Rocket, Will Travel".
An often bizarre adventure (The Stooges encounter such things as a friendly alien unicorn, an unfriendly giant fire-breathing tarantula, and a trio of robots resembling you-know-who), their feature debut confirmed that the Stooges were back, and bigger & more popular than ever.
Lightweight in plot--and budget ... Read More

In 1957,the late Moe Howard and the late Larry Fine finished their 24-year business at Columbia Pictures,filming 190 two-reel shorts with Moe's brothers Curly and Shemp and Joe Besser,respectively. Besser quit The Three Stooges to take care of his ill wife and the Stooges continued their careers with feature films. So Joseph Wardell,aka Curly Joe DeRita became the third Stooge. In fact,Wardell was originally chosen for the third Stooge after Shemp died in 1955. But Wardell was working with another act ... Read More

The Three Stooges work as maintenance men at a rocket research facility. The film begins with stock footage showing a rocket taking off, but wavering shortly after blast off, and going off course, though the event of crashing is not shown. Then, we are shown the rocket ship sticking nose down in the ground (it is a life-sized model, not an actual rocket ship). The Three Stooges are asked to stand guard at the crash site, but they somehow enter the ship, and it tips upright, and by accident the Stooges ... Read More
