5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THEIR BEST MOVIES!!, Mar 8 2004

This review is from: Monkey Business (DVD)

I have recently become a DIE-HARD Marx Brothers fan. I was introduced to them by my wonderful cousin Lewis. THANK YOU LEWIS!!!!!!!!!! The Marx Brothers are FANTASTICALY HILARIOUS!! Monkey Business was the first movie of their's that I saw, and its, so far, the best. Even thought the others I have seen come close behind, there's just something about Monkey Business. Its down-right hilarious. Great lines by Groucho, great scene of Harpo and him playing the harpo, Chico and the piano...This movie deserves a 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Anarchy, Mar 16 2003

By

Erik Bateson (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Monkey Business (VHS Tape)

Though not as good as Duck Soup or A Night at the Opera, there are some great early Marx moments in this film. It has some great lines like this one, from Groucho: Oh, I know it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at me. I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty. His satrical off-beat humor makes me smile, because you don't see that any more. Even Woody Allen has become commercialized. Like other Marx Brothers films (especially the ones at Paramount), some scenes keep changing in darkness, the frames occasionally go way too fast, and some scenes are choppy, though not as mush as Horse Feathers. One line I found to be Ironic. Thelma Todd, after arguing about the possibility of a gambling casino in her restraunt was found dead a few days later in her garage, in her car, of carbon monoxide poisoning (in real life). In Monkey Business, Groucho says "You're a woman who's been getting nothing but dirty breaks (pause for a few seconds)-well, we can clean and tighten your brakes, but you'll have to stay in the garage all night." Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to leave me a helpful/not helpful feedback. God Bless America!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stowaways make hilarious trouble!, Jan 10 2003

By

Josh P. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Monkey Business (VHS Tape)

The Marx Brothers, with no character names, play stowaways on board a cruise ship and turn business on board into a game full of tricks. They get involved with unscrupulous gangsters doing dirty deeds. Knock-out laughs in this one. Harpo has a great moment of physical comedy in one part where he becomes involved at a puppet show on board the ship where a hilarious mix-up occurs. Great chase scenes! Something you really need to
see if you really want to laugh.

4.0 out of 5 stars Monkey Business is Funny
I'd buy it just to look at Thelma Todd. My favorite is the crowded staeroom scene. "...and 2 hard boiled eggs...HONK HONK..make that 3 hard boiled eggs."
