the best Marx Bros movie ever

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2005)

Everyone remembers the mirror scene, but in case you've forgotten the plot, here it is: Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho) becomes leader of Freedonia and decides to declare war on neighboring Sylvania just for fun. Naturally, Groucho cracks a series of serious-then-wacky jokes, Chico mangles words, and Harpo is silly every step of the way. Along with the mirror scene, another hilarious scene is the hat-switching scene with a short-tempered peanut vendor.
Obviously, the Marx Brothers always engaged in anarchic humor, but this one is so good because of how they mock the power structure, militarism, and everything such. It's an A+.
