The Musicals return…..
8 May 2013
Oh why did such things as long musical numbers and plot have to come back to the Marx Brothers. Unfortunately I can remember most of the storyline in this film which means there can only be a few funny moments in it. This is a wonderful movie though for current or graduated college students to laugh at. I think all us have had those bearded professors looking down on us in some sort of class room. We all secretly wish that Groucho could have taken control and would tear down the university so we could sleep in the classrooms. Instead of giving the much needed freedom that the Marx brothers deserve they were instead limited by a ridiculous plot about a football game. They had more than enough material to just have Harpo as a fellow professor or student mean while Chico could be the music student or band director. My first reaction is to blame Zeppo for having his stupid love affair killing the fun but I know that isn't fair for me to do. Instead all I can say is it seems they tried to force to much to quickly.
