  All the brothers were musicians but Harpo alone always got so serious whenever he played harp (sometimes Chico on the piano, but not always). His clown character creation falls from him, regardless of his costume and ... I always think of their mom, making those guys take music… More
  All the brothers were musicians but Harpo alone always got so serious whenever he played harp (sometimes Chico on the piano, but not always). His clown character creation falls from him, regardless of his costume and ... I always think of their mom, making those guys take music lessons. Those guys. One look from Harpo and women run for their virtue, one look, and then the same guy sits down to play a harp, what angels are supposed to play, its a contradiction, isn't it? Big fun as always, this film, as the stowaway foursome mess with stuffy shipboard personnel, the gentry elite, and gangsters to boot. Who is Maurice Chevalier?

  My favourite Marx Brothers movie. It's hilarious and short, it's just packed full of jokes and gags.

  complete anarchy and absolutely hilarious. at the rate they fire off the gags they're bound to miss a few but most of it sticks. i'm inclined to think the boys lost something when they left paramount. i never much cared for the elaborate plots thalberg imposed on them at… More

  The brothers stowaway on board an ocean liner and get mixed up with a mobster trying to take over his old bosses territory. The usual mix of wisecracking, slapstick and glamorous gals, Monkey Business is virtually plotless and more of a freeform farce that gives them the freedom to do their thing. The scenes on board ship feel far less forced than a lot of their films as a result, and although it rarely provokes belly laughs, it's always great fun and Ruth Hall and Thelma Todd model some pretty outfits to provide some old school glamour. Once they hit land, things peter out somewhat as they set about resolving the "plot" and Harpo and Chico inevitably wheel out their ubiquitous and coma inducing musical asides. Not the best of the Marx brothers films, but it still has its moments, and Groucho once again proves he is at his best when he has an aging dowager to insult!

  Almost perfect but made just before they reached the top of their game and fine-tuned their act. Still brilliant though, a still very funny!

  The Marx Brothers as stowaways on an ocean liner. I've seen dozens of times and still laugh out loud at every scene.

  My second favorite Marx Bros movie.

  The ending is a bit goofy and not up to par with the rest of the film but all the boat antics are great. Nice to see Zippo getting some legitimate screen time as well. Unlike most Marx Brothers films its missing a signature line, joke, or sketch but all the humor works even if… More

  I really didn't find it funny, it was okay, but I was bored.
