    I think there was some kind of story in here somewhere, but I was too busy being entertained by the antics of the brothers to notice or care. As with all their films, a plot is just an excuse to string together the jokes that make up their schtick; and what a wonderful…

    “Oooooooh, that’s why he’s called that.” - me, every time that one Marx brother plays the harp.

    (Criterion Laser Disc Collection) It took a while for this Marx Brothers classic to pull me in, but once it did there were plenty of charming and funny moments to go around. "All right, I'll read it to you. Can you hear? ... I haven't heard anything yet. Did you say…

    A Night at the Opera

    Another classic offering from the Marx Bros. One of their best for sure. The cruise ship cabin scene is one of the most amazing, hilarious scenes in film history for the sheer craziness packed into one small, tight quarters. It will leave you in awe.

    A Night at the Opera

    Some absolutely brilliant writing and scenes but it's uneven in quality and crashed and burned towards the end for me into way too much chaos and slapstick. Somewhere between Like and Meh, but I award a Like for some of the truly excellent scenes.
