A self conscious throwback to old school farces based on rapid fire dialogue and frenetic pacing that is essentially an updated version of A Night at the Opera via Zucker and Brooks. It doesn't entirely work---the gags are hit and miss and often lack wit, and Dugan was not experienced enough to control comic chaos--but the performances have spirit, and Turturro is frequently amusing to watch as a hyper-caffeinated cartoon version of Groucho.

A modern take on the marx brothers. Amusing and occasionally laugh out loud funny.

Inelegant but fun Marx Brothers homage. Turturro really nails it.

Worthwhile to see John Turturro's take as Groucho Marx.
