July 29, 2007College should be like this for everyone. In fact, if Groucho was my teacher (he plays Professor Wagstaff), I would still be there!
The best football scene ever filmed, too. -

June 15, 2007The usual formula of slapstick and witty banter, intermingled with sly digs at authority and its hyposcrisy. My favourite Marx Bros film.
-
June 1, 2007I know this one came first, but it's basically Duck Soup on a college campus. Groucho is crowned, Chico and Harpo are brought into help, Zeppo sings a little bit, there's a climactic battle made up of several short skirmishes, and they end it by beating up on the woman they were ...( read more)

May 27, 2007I watched this movie on TCM and not usually hearting it mentioned as one of the GREAT Marx Brothers films was pleasantly surprised to find it made me laugh out loud throughout almost its entire running time. Amusing to see that many of the critiques about academia haven't change...( read more)

May 26, 2007Great gags but not nearly as funny as Duck Soup, which was released a year later. When the gags(visual and speech) came along, most were very witty and funny even today,in true Marx Brothers style. However, there were too many lulls in the movie when the pace just sagged and the ...( read more)

April 13, 2007This is the Marx Bros.' best film--not "Duck Soup" or "Night at the Opera." Wall-to-wall humor, very little music to slow it down.
This is (I believe) where the classic "swordfish" routine comes from. -

February 25, 2007LOVE! Just love Marx bro's movies! You sit and laugh all the time!

February 15, 2007I like how wacky this is for 1930's, but unfortunately most of the jokes have become cliche over the decades so I didn't laugh very often.

October 5, 2006another wonderful marx bros outing, solid in comedic sequence and dialogue, groucho is once again very amazing and the brothers are also very funny, one can't help but laugh after watching this
-
September 28, 2006It doesn't quite measure up to the heights of DUCK SOUP (their best early film), but along with ANIMAL CRACKERS, I do find HORSE FEATHERS to be among the three best of the Marx Brothers' first five misadventures.
As the unconventional head of Huxley College, Groucho still remains...( read more) -

August 30, 2006Very gd - loved the scene in the speakeasy.... hilarious. Although Groucho is the only one really in the limelight here.

June 28, 2006This was my first Groucho Marx film and I must say that I really like the whole Groucho Marx persona. I didn't like the other Marx Brothers though, especially not the silent one. The plot was just an excuse to cram the jokes in.
