Critic's review of Animal Crackers
View all (1)
- An excuse for the Marx Brothers, and a lively one in patches, though sedate and stagebound in treatment. The boys are all in top form, and many of the dialogue exchanges are classics.

  Like comedy?
  
  Then you have to see every Marx Brothers movie.
  
  I love every one of their movies so I can only heap praise on it.

  A classic!
  
  This is such a super film. I hadn't watched it for years. It was worth the wait. Groucho Marx is just superb. Don't miss it.

  Good show for the Brothers Marx
  
  Good movie, as good as some of the others in some places not as good, but all the same a good comedy.

  For my mind Horse Feathers is up there with Duck Soup as the Marx Brothers at their finest. At only just over an hour long, the film manages to cram in a load ... read more »

  The Marx Brothers
  
  I grow up on the Marx Brothers as a kid and I always remembered they made me laugh. This film was a reminder of those days.
