The humor just isn't all that funny to me, but I nonetheless get a lot of enjoyment out of watching these guys. There's something I just love about their characters, even if most of the gags and lines themselves don't do much for me (a few do, however). And damn, Harpo can play the harp!

Live action cartoon style crazy antics, just what you expect from the Marx Bros. Some amazing piano and harp action too!

Really great fun. Just gets funnier and funnier as the film goes on. Harpo might be my favourite Marx brother, and his playing the harp was my favourite scene in the film by far for admittedly absurdly biased reasons.

Great comedy is never dated and even Groucho's Depression puns will still make you laugh.

Fast-paced comedy provides seemingly endless amount of gags, quips, and pratfalls, including the fab four imitating Maurice Chevalier at Immigration. This film, incidentally, was the group's first to be written--by noted humorist Perelman--directly for the screen.

Not a big fan of the Marx brothers but this was pretty funny for the first 50 minutes until it ran out of steam.

Not that many memorable scenes.

I appreciate the humor. Sometimes it feels a little too staged, but I suppose that's part of the charm.

The Marx Brothers don't get any better than this. The dialogue is witty, the plot is serviceable, and--besides--you can never have too many Maurice Chevaliers!

marx bros never fail to make me smile :)

The gags keep coming with very few lulls in the hilarity, even Zeppo is funny from time to time. The film really does suffer from lack of a decent foil though, the non-zeppo straight men and women just suck the life out of the movie and are really terrible to forgettable in every scene. But the brothers kill enough to make this the funniest Marx films even if it's not the best overall.

More monkey business by the Marx Brothers. Either you like this sort of humor or you don't. Memorable? There's nothing to remember except Harpo's and Chico's performances on harp and piano.

Even more wacky than most Marx Bros. features, this has Groucho on fine form.

The one on the boat. This was a lot better than the previous two Marx Brothers movies I'd watched. It actually starts with a strong joke rather than, you know, 10 minutes of singing. Which is good. Overall, a huge step up. I kind of feel like I have to address this one last thing. Harpo is a serial rapist. Can we all acknowledge this, and move on? Good. And, I'm not 100% sure, but I think we're meant to believe that he was fucking that baby cow at the end. Just so we're on the same page.

Finally, Groucho isn't in charge of anything, and they are all for each other as stowaways. Is that Harpo singing or is it a barbershop trio? Zeppo shows he's better than Allan Jones. OK, so that ain't much. Great stuff, even if you don't know Maurice Chevalier.

This may not be on a par with the Brothers' masterwork, "Duck Soup", but remains utterly enjoyable, achingly funny, brilliantly executed and highly recommended.

a highly unmemorable marx brothers movie, there was a joke here an there that i laughed at, but honestly it's been a couple days since i watched it and i've completely forgotten the plot. i still maintain that i could probably watch a full hour and a half of chico shooting the piano--that never gets old.

It's classic, it's corny, it's the Marx Brothers.

These guys just ain't funny no more

A fine Marx Brothers film, though by the end some of the jokes seem repetitive.

There's some good one-liners but a lot of it just doesn't work. It's very Groucho-heavy, without enough interaction between the Marxes. It could use some Margaret Dumont, too -- few of the "straight" characters here play off the brothers very well.

Along with "The Public Enemy," the highest scoring film of 1931.
