Leave your thoughts about The Cocoanuts.
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseSophisticated absurdity and sublime nonsense. [Blu-ray] |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasOnly about half of 1929's The Cocoanuts, an early sound-era comedy, was entrusted to the Marx brothers' vaudevillian antics; the rest was left to drippy Irving Berlin songs, kick-lines of bathing beauties, and a half-baked subplot about a stolen necklace. Yet the good scenes establish the Marx dynamic to hilarious effect. |
| Not Coming to a Theater Near YouMatt BaileyThe daft anarchy of the Marx Brothers is often akin to watching the id personified and unleashed. |
| culturevulture.netDan SchneiderChock with some classic gags and lines... |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonSqueaks by on the top-notch comedy quotient. |
| Chicago ReaderDon DrukerAn eminently watchable antique, this was the Marx Brothers' first film — a literal recording of their Broadway smash hit. |
| The New York TimesMordaunt HallFun puts melody in the shade in the audible pictorial transcription of the musical comedy The Cocoanuts. |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganFirst Marx Brothers film is creaky, but has marvelous scenes |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeStagey, but with lots of great Marx routines and some Irving Berlin songs. |
| User ReviewJoe IIt's fabulous...something really magical about it.. |
