Horse Feathers Reviews

A classic that is timeless and unmissable.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 31, 2024

Over 90 years later, Horse Feathers still holds up as one the greatest comedy movies of all time.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 17, 2023

Somehow, the boys manage to incorporate a horse-drawn vehicle into a football game.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 12, 2023

The overarching plot may be different, but the slapstick, the breaks for harp strumming or guitar plucking, and the competition over a pretty girl are entirely familiar.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 7, 2020

I like them but nothing could be more painful than a description of a Marx Brothers show, so 1 simply advise you that Groucho has a new set of horrible puns, equally as good as the ones he last used.

The opening ten minutes of Horse Feathers have more laughs than most comedy features muster in their entirety. And there's more where that came from... [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 18, 2016

The Marx Brothers at their wacky best.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 2, 2011

The Marx Brothers bring their special brand of anarchy to the world of college football in this wonderfully madcap comedy.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 31, 2010

The madcap Marxes, in one of their maddest screen frolics.

| Oct 18, 2008

Funny Marx Bros classic, featuring four brothers on a tear at college.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 18, 2008

Under the loose but capable direction of Norman Z. McLeod, the Marxes leap from one lunatic set piece to the next. Wagstaff talks over, below and around everyone he meets.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 29, 2006

...[there's an] overall feeling of pointlessness at work here.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 28, 2006

The Brothers have never been so chaotic or so aggressively funny.

| Feb 9, 2006

Some of the fun is even more reprehensible than the doings of these clowns in previous films, but there is no denying that their antics and their patter are helped along by originality and ready wit.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 28, 2006

Witty, funny and great.

Not a personal Marx brothers favorite but a decent film nonetheless.
