Duck Soup should make practically everybody laugh.
The Marx Brothers' best movie...
This production is, for the most part, extremely noisy without being nearly as mirthful as [the Marx brothers'] other films.
The Marx Brothers created a body of work in which individual films are like slices from the whole, but Duck Soup (1933) is probably the best.
One of the funniest movies of the Marx brothers--and of the Depression era.
Nonstop classic Marx Bros. mayhem kids will love.
Watch for the famous "mirror scene" in which Harpo--dressed as Groucho--matches Groucho's every movement in a non-existent mirror--pure comic genius.
Melhor longa da carreira dos irmãos Marx, o filme é uma verdadeira metralhadora giratória, disparando diálogos precisamente construídos e gags físicas inesquecíveis com uma rapidez invejável ainda nos dias de hoje.
Comic anarchy at its very best. This one just keeps getting better.
This Marxist masterpiece is also one of greatest military satires ever made.
...detractors of the quartet will find very little here to embrace...
It also includes what is perhaps the Brothers' funniest scene ever: an immaculately timed and performed sequence with a broken mirror in which Groucho, Chico and Harpo look absolutely identical. A masterpiece.
The magnificent Marx Brothers at their funniest and most chaotic.
The Marx Brothers high water mark in film.
The last time the Marxes were allowed to be completely lawless and eternally centre-stage.
Duck Soup is the closest thing to pure anarchy on film.
The film's humor might be broad and low, but sometimes a bludgeon is just funnier than a gimlet.
