5.0 out of 5 stars the funniest film ever, 20 Jul 2002
By A Customer
Stowaways on board a liner, simple but hysterical antics right from the start, Groucho is Groucho but Harpo and Chico are the absolute greatest, I cry etc everytime I watch the manic antics. Simple but effective and undoubtably the film I'll rescue should the house burn down. Just the thoughts of Harpo hiding under a mat and Groucho in a wardrobe and the 'just a little snoop...' and I'm incredibly happy, my five year old son also enjoys this comical caper

4.0 out of 5 stars Can you spot the real Maurice Chevalier?, 28 Dec 2000
By A Customer
One of the earlier Marxist works, Monkey Business features all four of the young and energetic (to say the least) Marx Brothers. Stowaways on a cruise liner, they progress from hiding in barrels, through the barber shop and a Punch & Judy show to bodyguards to rival gangsters. No shortage of laughs along the way. As per usual, Zeppo caters for the romantic, Groucho for the quick witted and Harpo for the manic (and, in this film, Harpo is undoubtedly at his most manic to a greater extent even than in Animal Crackers). For the true Marx Brothers fan, this is a must have and for the Marx Brothers novice, a great starting point. If you have seen this film, you will understand not only my enthusiasm for it but also the meaning of the word "snoop" (as in ... "just a little snoop.") If you haven't seen this film, bung it in your basket and give yourself a treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remembered for the Maurice Chevalier Impersonations, 2 Dec 2007
By Jay "The Amazon Reviewer" (Mauritius) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Monkey Business" won't disappoint anyone who likes the Marx Brothers. It features a couple of extremely funny sequences, with the favorite probably being the 'Maurice Chevalier' scene. (As you watch that scene unfold, you start wondering how Harpo is going to play it, and it's quite clever when you find out.) Harpo has another fine scene when he gets tangled up in a puppet show. Zeppo gets a little more action than usual, and the others have some great moments, too. This one certainly should not be missed by any fan of Groucho and company.
