As usual the Marx Brothers steal the show of an otherwise nearly plotless comedy and entertain with their anarchic wit.
Halliwell***: "An excuse for the Marx Brothers, and a lively one in patches, though sedate and stagebound in treatment. The boys are all in top form, and many of the dialogue exchanges are classics."
Maltin***: "...suffers from staginess and musical comedy plotting, but gives the zany foursome plenty of comic elbowroom."
