The greatest comedy movie before Seth Macafarlane. And after but it's close.

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2019)

Nearly 80 years later, few movies really top the comedy gold that this brings.
It's unfair to really judge more recent comedies by this standard because it's rare to really get an actual comedy since 1964, they're really dramedies. Even American Pie: Band Camp pours on the schmaltz toward the end.
But the Brothers Marx literally go to war, and are still really just goofing around. The one liners, the tit-for-tat, the splendid visual gags, the impeccable comedic timing and schtick...this is the archetypal screw ball comedy that is a treat every time I watch it.
It's sad there are people using this to parade the idea that no one is funny anymore. They are funny. It's just that the greatest comedy movie ever just happened to come early.
It's even better than Seth Macfarlane. That's how good it is. If you liked Ted or the zany intelligence of A Million Ways to die in the West, you will adore this.
