Monkey Business

After watching a number of sub-par Marx Brothers films, this one was a relief. It's no Duck Soup or A Night at the Opera, but it's probably comparable to A Day at the Races or Room Service. The four brothers are stowaways on an ocean liner (always a good start) and get caught in between two rival gangsters. Chico and Harpo are hired as bodyguards for one of them, while Groucho and Zeppo are hired by the other. I guess all you really need to know is that it's funny and competently directed.
