Review of Animal Crackers (1930) by Jesse A — 20 Dec 2007
Oh, those silly Marx Brothers... or as Kady would call them, the Groucho Brothers.
The Groucho Brothers are silly, quick, and witty -- some of the most important things I look for in both a comedian and a friend. Silliness is abound in this movie, which I believe was made in the late 1890s, and the large majority of the jokes work some 200 years after it's release -- a testament to the Groucho Brothers' comedic talents.
My only complaint is that our DVD, which was rented from Netflix, had skipping problems. However, I think it's unfair to hold the film company responsible for a futuristic technology that failed to play it's 250 year old movie. Sure we could have watched 'Animal Crackers' on VHS, the format on which it was originally released some 300 years ago, but we have to keep some semblance of pride -- we're not homeless people, for cripe's sake!
Anyways, my favorite part was when Groucho said that one-liner.
