Classic Marx Brothers!

"One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know."

In the early days of full sound movies, The Marx Brothers made a name for themselves as one of the many gurus of the comedy genre at the time. Animal Crackers is the second outing of The Marx Brothers. I do not consider myself a massive fan; however I am slowly becoming even fonder of the trio (o... read more

Description: Often considered their best, this second Marx Brothers movie revolves around a stolen painting and the sprawling estate of a wealthy dowager who soon finds Chico, Zeppo, Harpo, and, especially, Groucho turning her life upsidedown. Groucho croons his famous "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" and delivers many of his most famous q ... (more)

"Like all little grade school kids, I was big fan of cookies. However, the first time I tasted an animal cracker, i was pretty disappointed at how bland they were. I mean, it was cool that they each were shaped by a different zoo animal & that the box that they came in looked like a circus cage on wheels, but for all their superficial flare, my tastebuds found 'em to be pretty boring. So, as a huge fan of the Marx Brothers, whenever I watch this film, you can be sure that I'll not be munching on "

"A middle of the road Marx Brothers movie. Not the best, not the worst. Only their second feature film, you could tell that they were still not quite sure how to transfer their comedy to film. One of the big problems is just how many times there isn't a brother on screen. The other actors are stiff, their timing is very weak, and they almost seem to be struggling to remember their lines. Sure, the brothers are fun, especially when they share the screen. There are a few noteworthy bits including t"

"Watched on: 4/12 Hilarious. Although some scenes I didn't understand, like the bridge scene. Seriously, what the Hell is bridge and how does it work? But it had great scenes, like the scene where they end up planning a house, it comes out of nowhere and is so hilarious. "

"4.12.11. DVD Uudelleen katsottu. Ei muutoksia pisteisiin. Marx-veljekset yrittävät saada kaikki muut raivostumaan totaalisella spedeilyllään tässä kovin näytelmällisessä filmissä. Groucho on elämänsä vedossa kapteeni Spauldingina (Hurraa, hurraa!) ja Chico ja Harpo kieroilevat mitä surrealistisemmissa asetelmissa. Muut näyttelijät ovat veljesten sekoiluden edessä aivan kujalla ja erityisesti Grouchon replat aiheuttavat katsojassa hillitöntä repeilyä. "Voisimme lähteä hä"
