Reviews for Animal Crackers
...an exceedingly hit-and-miss affair that is, unfortunately, more miss than hit.
The Marx Brothers second film was a box office smash that wowed the Depression audience with their zany brand of humor.
The first Marx Brothers movie that really captures their unique approach to comedy.
