An involved mlange of obvious antics and gags, only one or two of which are likely to generate chuckles. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

s r @ScottR 10/08/2014 Weak from many points of view, but good for one viewing. See more 10/01/2014 just ok later groucho See more 12/29/2012 Lacks creativity, is quite dull and never gets more than a couple of chuckles. Forgettable. See more 05/15/2009 Was surprized to find this actually wasn't too bad. It's at least mildly amusing, and in fact to some extent I actually liked it more than Love Happy, which was certainly the worst Marx Bros film IMHO. See more 02/10/2008 A servicable effort with a decent turn from Groucho Marx in 'You Bet Your Life' mode. Not outstanding but watchable. See more 11/26/2007 A very poor effort from Groucho. Every second of this film I was hoping Harpo and Chico would enter and bring some refreshing humour to a film that was sorely lacking. See more Read all reviews
