Summary: One of the 3 best Marx Bros. films
Review: Very funny! Not quite as slick either Duck Soup or Horse Feathers, but maybe even more endearing for that. Better than Monkey Business. It's the Marx Bros. at their most ingenuous. True, the song and dance scenes are boring, but maybe that's why the Marx Bros. made such a mockery of musicals in their later films.

Summary: ON YOUR MARX,GET SET, STOP!
Review: What I'm about to write applies to the first 5 Marx movies.I own them on VHS and borrowed the DVDs from our local library .The VHS versions are clearer,brighter,and show more picture.The sound is also of better quality on tape.As you know by now,no extras.The DVDs will receive one star less rating because of the lack of extras,poor picture and sound quality THE COCOANUTS 2 stars for DVD 3 stars for VHS.ANIMAL CRACKERS DVD;4 stars VHS;5 stars. MONKEY BUSINESS DVD;3 VHS;4. HORSE FEATHERS DVD;4 VHS;5.And DUCK SOUP DVD; 4 stars and of coarse VHS;5 stars.Don't get me wrong. The dvds aren't of such bad qaulity as other reviewers would lead you to believe,it's just that the VHS versions are better (MCA Universal) that is. If you have the cash and simply must have these reMARXable movies on dvd go ahead get the discs.I'm waiting for them to be reissued by MCA.This time correcting all the faults I mentioned with the current discs. I justa hope'a they put'a them'a out before they put'a me in'a da olda ladies home.
