Film Description: “The Brothers have never been so chaotic or so aggressively funny” (Time Out). This reeling, hilarious spoof of higher learning and college football is a classic Marx Brothers knock-out, featuring some of the comedic quartet’s wackiest gags, puns, and pranks. Professor Wagstaff (Groucho), the president of Huxley College, attempts to kick-start the home football team’s abysmal record but instead of hiring a duo of ringers accidentally recruits misfits Harpo and Chico. While trying to outsmart the shenanigans of a widow and rival team snoop (Thelma Todd), Groucho enforces the Huxley College curriculum of silly quips, pratfalls, and side-splitting slapstick. “The Marx Brothers bring their special brand of anarchy to the world of college football in this wonderfully madcap comedy. . . . Perhaps the most freewheeling film the Brothers Marx ever made” (James Monaco). Recommended for ages 8+.
Anyone want to go see this classic with me?
