Altho based on their hit stage play, resulting in a stagebound feel to the thing, many scenes with a cast of extras merely standing around in the background, nonetheless still zany. Groucho himself notes that "not all the jokes can be good", but then again, many are. Margaret D... read more
Very funny and silly, a classic Marx Brothers movie. The only thing I don't like about it is the ending, it's kind of strange. Otherwise, a great movie.

Prime wackiness from the Brothers
More brilliant fun from the Marx Brothers.
Damn, these guys were funny.

Messy Marx romp, but when it's good, it's great
