One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The energy in the packed screening at University Square 4 (Madison) was unbelievable. Everyone was howling with laughter, crying and slapping their hands, slipping down to the floor. I ended up hoarse with salt on my cheeks from all the tears. In the two decades since, I watch the film at least once a year and still laugh out- loud (much to my wife's amusement).The actors, the story, the timing, the gags, the jokes, the straight men, the settings, the music ... everything about the film was perfectly nailed. It is a masterpiece*.*There is one scene with an inflatable sex doll. The scene was quite funny, but the anachronistic doll (briefly) pulled you out of the wonderful illusion the film creates.

This movie is funny, not ha ha funny, but stop breathing turn blue fall on the floor pass out funny. Whether you find it funny at all will depend on one thing, do you think that a Marx Brothers style movie could be made now? If you don't think so or hate the Marxes then don't bother seeing it, you'll be wasting your time. However, if you like comedy that's both clever and stupid in the classic Marx sort of way, see this film. The plot has Groucho, er...John Turturro playing a shyster lawyer who is trying to bilk a rich widow of her money by fronting for a ballet. Add to the madness Mel Smith in the Chico role and the incredibly under rated Bob Nelson in a role Harpo would have played if he talked. Its all madness, mis-representation and misdirection that ends up on stage in a ballet only an insane person could have come up with (its at this point breathing becomes optional).See this movie.Its simply one of the greatest screen comedies, even though almost no one has seen it.10 out of 10.

I remember seeing this film in the theatre with about 4 other people, but I thought it was very funny. Very much a marx bros. film with the gags and even the little singing bit and the ballet scene (as a substitute for Opera). John Tutorro makes a very good Groucho Marx substitute, I do not know why he doesn't accept more comedic roles. In the few comedies he has appeared in or had a comic character (or a character such as Jesus in The Big Lebowski, that is comically memorable he often steals the show. Very fast paced slapstick humor, that isin't scatological, which is sorely missing from current comedies. There are plenty of one liners and quick wordplay.I wish this film was on DVD.
