Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times -
There is an odd moment when Harpo shows Groucho a doghouse tattooed on his stomach, and in a special effect a real dog emerges and barks at him. The brothers broke the classical structure of movie comedy and glued it back again haphazardly, and nothing was ever the same.

The Guardian -
The sheer silliness is inspired.
|
|
Empire -
The Marx brothers on top form with their quickfire comedy and banter.

|
TV Guide Magazine -
A masterpiece...DUCK SOUP is perhaps the best, and funniest, depiction of the absurdities of war ever committed to celluloid.
|
|
Time Out -
Genius just about covers it.
