April 30, 2008Every Marx brothers movie condensed into one hell of a zany adventure. This movie is gut bustingly funny.

January 25, 2008Amazingly funny film with great performances by all the cast, especially Turturro. Great one-liners are delivered at a rapid pace and this movie is worthy of being put alongside the Marx Bros series even though it's only an "homage".
"I want you to have my children... they're ou...( read more) -

September 23, 2009This movie is laugh out loud funny all the way through. I begged my local video store to sell me their copy when I couldn't find it in the shops - and they finally relented.

March 21, 2009This movie reminds me of old Chaplin or Marx brothers films. It is over the top and sometimes tries way to hard. If you just let yourself enjoy the silliness it will get you through the day.

March 8, 2009This is basically a remake of the Marx Brothers' "Night at the Opera". I was surprised on how much of the Marx Brothers style the were able to make work in this one. Turturro especially is good in the Groucho role.

The writing is brilliant and the acting is just as good if not better. John Turtturo was born to play this part, just like all his other roles, b...( read more)

December 2, 2008I wanna see this film because I love the Marx Brothers and I desire to watch the Marx Bros. style of anarchist wit and slapstick in a modern context and with other actors, including Turturro as Groucho and Nancy Marchand as Margaret Dumont.

July 31, 2008It's a modern day Marx Brothers film! And I laughed as much as I would for a Marx Brother film. I loved it simply because they don't make comedies like this anymore. (And they haven't since this one came out 16 years ago.) If you love the Marx Brothers, you owe it to yourself...( read more)
