I liked it

Rating: 5/10 (20 November 2005)

Even though I paid attention to the movie, I feel like I missed certain details that are imperative to understanding the political agendas hidden behind the slapstick humor. For this reason, I took the movie as it was and nothing more. I became absorbed by the Marx brother's ridiculous antics and gave up on trying to understand the cultural significance behind the movie. Duck Soup is definitely one of those movies that you have to see twice.
What I liked the most about the movie was how the Marx brothers interacted with each other. Their comedy seemed unrehearsed and natural. At times I felt like I was watching a feature film improvisation as opposed to a carefully planned and rehearsed production.
