Monkey Business

Director: Norman Z. McLeod
Year Released: 1931
Rating: 2.5

The Marx Bros are stowaways on a ship and expend a whole ton of energy avoiding the boat's crew and getting involved in a feud between two gangsters. Zeppo joins his (more famous) brothers this time around ... and that isn't a good thing (it was wise of him to stop acting a little later on and act as the group's manager). As with any film starring the boys, it has its fair share of yuks, but this particular picture never really hit it with me - everyone has their favorite Marx outing - and I failed to enjoy it the way I did some of their other pictures.
