Rating: Summary: Funny old movie Review: I thought this movie was very funny, especially when you consider it was made in the 30's. A good political satire with the great Marx Bros.
Rating: Summary: If you've only seen this on VHS, but it today on DVD! Review: Well, it's classic Marx Bros., the jokes are the same, the bits are the same, the laughs are even the same... but the picture?... If you've seen this movie before, show it to your friends (or kids in my case) in the DVD format, and make them love it too! Truly a histarical film, and DVD makes it all the more easier to enjoy!
Rating: Summary: DO NOT BUY! Review: As usual, you have some people trying to rip you off here, charging $305 for 3 DVDs. And they probably call themselves fans of American comedy. Ha!There's a 5 DVD "Marx Bros Collection" coming out in November 03, and the price will be about $25. So preorder it, and spend the other $280 on your kids!
Rating: Summary: A great bargain -- what a pair of classics! Review: "Animal Crackers" is hysterical, with classic bits you'll recognize. It's a must-see if only to know the foundations of Marx Brothers (and therefore American) humor. But look out for the bad acting and bad musical numbers. The best part is when Groucho interacts with Margaret Dumont. My favorite: the Captain Spaulding song. As for "Duck Soup," it's the last third that's the classic part. If you're a comedy film buff, you simply must see this one. You'll recognize how this film had so much effect on so many others that followed. The hilarious skits don't have much to do with each other, but who cares? And it was nice to see the handsome Zeppo.
Rating: Summary: Captain Spaulding Saves the Day!!! Review: I was lucky enough to get these DVDs during the monkey business stating that these films were being re-released. And the price went down from $700 to $200-$300. Still pretty expensive, but well worth it for any true Marx Brother's fan. They're only being released in the non-USA (PAL) version. And I think many (including myself) were confused by the new 5 DVD set that's coming out in Nov. I was hoping that this set would include 5 of their movies, but it's just a documentary type film (one that I'm eager to see). To sum this all up, I give this DVD set 10 stars....5 more than the amazon rating system allows.

Rating: Summary: These prices are a slap in the face Review: I, and thousands of other Marx Brothers fans, am waiting for the opportunity to buy all of the classic Marx Brothers movies for a reasonable price. I bet Wal-Mart will put out just such a collection within a year. I guess I'll get it there.
Rating: Summary: A must for true Marx Brothers Fans Review: This is a high quality copy of three Max Brothers classics. A Night at the Opera, and A Day at the Races would have properly complete the collection but they were from a different studio. At the time of my purchase neither was available on DVD. These are great movies for the hollidays for those people who are tired of Christmas Story or It a wonderful life.
Rating: Summary: The masters of comedy in three masterpieces Review: Sorry about the tacky title. In any case, the Marx Brothers are hilarious to people of all ages. When I was a kid I watched these all on VHS because of Harp- and Chic- o's funny slapstick actions. Now, as a college student lashing out against society, I watch it for Groucho's incredible, biting brilliance. A Night At the Opera is brilliant. It has been a long time since I've seen it, though. One of my favorite lines ever is in there: Groucho and Chico are arguing about contracts and get to a clause about how if one side becomes insane, it shall be void. "Yeah, that's the insanity claus" says Groucho. "You can't fool me!" replies Chico. "There ain't no Sanity Claus!" (Say it out loud.) Duck Soup is my favorite comedy ever. It is full of the same brilliance and only too short. Groucho plays the perfect leader, Chico and Harpo kind of vaguely play spies in some hilarious episodes. It's funny. Trust me. And now, I must ask, "WHY HAVE THEY DISCONTINUED THIS?" Surely this is some kind of horrible joke! Please recontinue it soon!
