funnier on the big screen

I saw Duck Soup at the Virginia Theatre in Champaign, IL. I'd seen it before - in fact, I own the DVD, but for some reason, it's infinitely funnier on the big screen. Maybe it's because the physical comedy is more obvious when it's bigger, or maybe it's the community atmosphere of a public theatre, but whatever it is, next time it's screened, I'll be the first person in line to see it.

Very funny and immensely entertaining!

"I got a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it."

The Marx Brothers have been fondly remembered for several of their timeless comedy productions. Similar to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, their classic films are overflowing with terrific gags that are still hilarious even during the 21st Century.

I Love The Marx Brothers, Groucho Marx Is My Favorite Marx Brother, There Above All Other Comedians Or, Indeed, All Other Movie Stars.

Their Movies Gave Them A Mass Audience And 1933's Duck Soup Is Considerd To Be The Best Marx Brothers Comedy Ever Made.

" A comedy classic, with the Bros. Marx carrying on with their timeless mayhem antics & spouting out lines like "I could dance with you till the cows come home. On second thought, I'd rather dance with the cows till you came home." For any of you who haven't yet seen this, IMO, the best of the Marx movies, but have decided to give it a view for the first time, I envy you. It will truly be a gala day for you. And if you're anything like Groucho, the Marx's head hermano, a gal a day is more than "

"February 7 "Oh, uh, I suppose you would think me a sentimental old fluff, but, uh, would you mind giving me lock of your hair?" "A lock of my hair? Wh-why, I had no idea." "I'm letting you off easy: I was going to ask for the whole wig." I felt like watching another movie before going to bed, so I decided to watch something shore. This is still funny as it was 80 years ago. It sucessfully combines sight gags with humorous dialogue. I also like the different personalities of The Marx Brothers"
