  The first of the Marx Bros. movies and, while stagey, most certainly a delight. Margaret Dumont, as ever, is a fortress of femininity against the leering onslaught of Groucho's questionable machinations and grandly so, while Chico and Harpo are the best worthless con men ever.… More
  The first of the Marx Bros. movies and, while stagey, most certainly a delight. Margaret Dumont, as ever, is a fortress of femininity against the leering onslaught of Groucho's questionable machinations and grandly so, while Chico and Harpo are the best worthless con men ever.

Plus, I didn't like the ending.

  "Over here by the viaduct", "why-a-duck?", "What do you mean viaduct", "I mean why not a chickens? why not a cows? Why-a-duck?" The Cocoanuts is the first Marx brothers film and one of the earliest talkies...and boy does it show. The pacing is not there yet and the film looks and feels amateurish, the sheer hilarity of the Marx Brothers is the saving grace of this film and the infamous viaduct scene ensures it's place in Marx Brothers lore.

  Pretty slow in the beginning, but it picks up. Not my favorite Marx Bros, film, but it's still great fun.
