This sharp political satire is considered by fans and critics alike to be the Marx Brothers' greatest movie.

Contains the timeless and unforgettable mirror sequence, the hysterical peanut stand scene, and a climactic battle that is not to be missed.

Now these guys are more like it. Their style and antics fits my tastes well. I like their rapid fire humor. I also like how they have a mixed of both slapstick and you have no idea what will come out of their mouths at any time. Well except Harpo... you have a pretty good idea what will come out of his mouth. Definitely a fun film I would recommend. I can't wait to see the rest in the collection.

On Valentine's Day, Sabrina has to find a way to get Josh to stop vying for her heart before it causes her to break up with her boyfriend Harvey.

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this one quite a bit... it didn't even bother me too much that Roland is in this one. It had several laughs in it.
