5.0 out of 5 stars Captain Spaulding Saves the Day!!!, Nov 5 2003

By	"nancy721" (Minneapolis, Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Marx Brothers Box: Animal Crackers/ Duck Soup/Horse Feathers (DVD)

I was lucky enough to get these DVDs during the monkey business stating that these films were being re-released. And the price went down from $700 to $200-$300. Still pretty expensive, but well worth it for any true Marx Brother's fan. They're only being released in the non-USA (PAL) version. And I think many (including myself) were confused by the new 5 DVD set that's coming out in Nov. I was hoping that this set would include 5 of their movies, but it's just a documentary type film (one that I'm eager to see). To sum this all up, I give this DVD set 10 stars....5 more than the amazon rating system allows.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY!, Oct 15 2003

By	Chris Bassett (Palm Bay, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Marx Brothers Box: Animal Crackers/ Duck Soup/Horse Feathers (DVD)

As usual, you have some people trying to rip you off here, charging $305 for 3 DVDs. And they probably call themselves fans of American comedy. Ha!

There's a 5 DVD "Marx Bros Collection" coming out in November 03, and the price will be about $25. So preorder it, and spend the other $280 on your kids!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Marx Brothers Strike Back, July 18 2002

By	"cherrycordial" (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Duck Soup (VHS Tape)

Groucho and his brothers serve up yet another couple of classics. Animal Crackers is a terrific movie, but Duck Soup will always be my favorite of the two. Each of the Marxes has their own unique style and personality on the silver screen, and they all blend together for a wholly entertaining mix. If you want slapstick, you'd better stick to the The Three Stooges. However, I highly recommend these videos to anyone who enjoys wordplay and intelligent comedy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great bargain -- what a pair of classics!
"Animal Crackers" is hysterical, with classic bits you'll recognize. It's a must-see if only to know the foundations of Marx Brothers (and therefore American) humor. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Post - Chaplin, Pre - Python Lunacy
I can't believe that nobody has ever reviewed this one. If you haven't seen it I urge you to do so. In it, Groucho becomes president; that's all you need to know. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Comedy
The Marx Brothers up to old antics as usual. I myself love a good, smart comedy, and that is what these two golden comedies offer. Read more
