This was my first foray into the Marx Brothers, and it took me almost 90% of this film to kind of appreciate what was being done.  First of all...I never realized that Groucho's moustache was painted on.  That made me laugh.  However, this film was a nonsensical barrage of bad puns and double entendres.  "We should have a standing army! Why? We will save on chairs" is probably the most clever pun in the film...so you can imagine how rapid fire, vaudvillian wordplay can get annoying.  The famous "man in the mirror" bit is inspired, but I imagined it a bit more flawless.  The final battle sequences are actually very funny...but when the film was over...I felt a bit underwhelmed.  The Marx Brothers are comedic royalty in the history of cinema...but I much preferred the genius of Buster Keaton's THE GENERAL when I saw that a few weeks ago.
