Great comedy movie. The script is very funny and it's great to watch Lucille Ball along with the Marx Brothers!

MCT:February 25, 2008Not as good as some of their other films, but then again this wasn't written for them. A good one to see if you're a fan.

MCT:December 1, 2007For once Harpo outshines his brothers in this unrecognized classic. Whether it's chasing a live turkey in their hotel room or eating peas, one at a time, but doing it very fast; he's really the star of the film.
My favorite scene though is his check-up by a doctor that the hotel management has brought in to see if he really has an infectious disease that the brothers have said he has (to stay in the room even though they're out of money). They've painted his face with huge spots and given him a tiny doll that will squeak when pressed. Of course, Harpo NEVER talks; but when the doctor says "Say 'ah'." Harpo makes the doll squeak. The doctor is puzzled and all chaos ensues.
Lucille Ball co-stars in a 'straight' roll, but I always think of the "I Love Lucy" episode with Harpo and her dressed up as Harpo. The famous dancer / actress Ann Miller also co-stars in "Room Service" - a great little movie! -
MCT:July 29, 2007Definitely a lesser Marx flick, but it's not really a Marx flick. It was a play that they were wedged into.
Not bad, but not too good, either. But it does have Lucille Ball in an early role. -

Unusual for the bros, but I still like it - it has a much more developed and paced plot than most of their others.
