IMDB

Chico and Harpo are working for a circus. When the owner of the circus tries to pay off his debts his money gets stolen. Lawyer Groucho gets called to come and help the guy draw up contracts or something. What really matters is that Groucho, Chico and Harpo are let loose and perform many hilarious bits throughout the film.
My biggest problem with this film is the number of musical numbers. Groucho has a good one and Chico plays the piano, but otherwise the songs are horrible. This movie manages to overcome this by having many funny moments. I love the Marx Bros. and this was a good outing for them.

7.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
