The Cocoanuts (1929)

My reMarx on this film
25 February 1999
I'm a big Marx Bros. fan. Love Groucho's one-liners. Love Chico's sight gags. Love Harpo's harp playing. That said, this is one Marx Bros. movie I just couldn't get into. Maybe it's because it was too heavy on the musical side ("music" may be stretching it). Maybe it's because it was one of their earlier films (their first talky...they made one earlier film in 1925). Maybe it was just a bad copy and that was a distraction. Whatever; it just doesn't stack up to "Duck Soup", "A Night at the Opera", or any of their later films.
