DUCK SOUP captures some of the Marx Brothers' zaniest routines and funniest quips, creating a laugh-out-loud spectacle of politics gone haywire. Backed by wealthy widow Mrs. Teasdale (regular Marx straightwoman Margaret Dumont), Groucho becomes the leader of Freedonia, quickly frustrating his cabinet and offending the aggressive neighboring country to the point of war. Chico and Harpo, sent by the rival country, spy on Groucho and try to steal his battle plans, but when war does come, loyalties become muddled all around. <br> <br> Director Leo McCarey gets the most out of the brothers, letting them be their wackiest best in what many critics consider to be the funniest Marx Brothers movie. Groucho plays Rufus T. Firefly, one of his best characters. The one-liners fly through the air like the bombs exploding in the hysterical battle scene. DUCK SOUP is a must-see comedy spectacular; don't blink or you'll miss yet another stinger....

Pros: The hilarious laugh-a-second antics! The satire! The plot!
Cons: Absolutely nuthin'!!!

This is comedy. Adam Sandler's comedy (no matter how much I like him) is like a speck on its shoe. This is one of the greatest movies ever made. Read More

Pros: Beautifully savage anti-war satire, with brilliant comic performances all around. It is one of the greatest comedies ever made.
Cons: May be inferior to NIGHT AT THE OPERA due to the flabby pacing common to their Paramount pictures.
