      Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: 3/5 Feb 25, 2005 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies A Night in Casablanca has its moments--when it works, it works--but its a far cry from their best work at Paramount or MGM. Rated: 3/5 Jan 2, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The slapstick comedy antics and string of relentless Groucho one-liners seemed more tired than subversively funny. Rated: B- Mar 16, 2008 Full Review Mark Bourne DVDJournal.com Point some of that blame at the cumbersome screenplay and lackluster director Archie Mayo, a.k.a. 'that fat idiot' to Groucho, who said Mayo 'emasculated' the picture. Apr 6, 2006 Full Review Jeffrey Westhoff Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) Rated: 2/5 Aug 12, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jun 27, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

      charles d Made well after the Marx Bros prime (they came out of retirement to do it), this is the boys going through their paces from memory. A few great bits, but they don't add up to a film Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This definitely isn't the Marx Brothers best film nor is it their worst. The jokes still work after 75 years and the antics of Groucho, Chico and Harpo are classic. Sadly no one of Margaret DuMont's stature to play as Groucho's rich object of derisive love but hey, its the Marx Brothers - funny, friendly, musical and brings back happy memories of happier times. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review deke p CLASSIC! MARX BROTHERS! & Chico plays the piano great, & HARPO plays... what else... the HARP. Saw on The Movie Channel 11-2020, first time ever. & again 2.19.2022 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review steve d Entertaining but they are running out of steam. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member All these so called snooty critics are talentless, bitter dorks. This movie is awesome. No, it's not a better known Marx Bros. movie, but it's funny, a classic and embodies their inimitable sense of humor and talent. #sadcritics Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad classic spoof comedy with some pretty great gags...but a lot of overbloated writing and overall not as funny as Marx movies often are. Pretty forgettable too. And really seemed to "jump-the-shark". Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
