    Monkey Business

    I'm talking about the Marx Brothers movie here.

    I not too long ago purchased all of the Marx brothers movies when I got a big discount from Borders.  I've seen many of these before, but I'm going through all of them again.

    I just watched The Cocoanuts and Animal Crackers a bit before this.  I think all of the Marx Brothers movies are absolutely fantastic.  I love every single one of them and the wonderful picture they make then you put them all together and let them interact.

    These first movies were rather short, but that keeps the jokes coming.  I love the musical interludes as well.  It's movies like this that really make you lament what often seems like "classic" humor.  I think that type of humor still exists actually, but who has done it better since this?  Who can deliver a line better than Groucho?  The man is perfect.

    And the scenes with Harpo and the Punch and Judy show is one of the funniest of all time.

    Rating: 10/10
