Filmen tek oss med gjennom heile karriera til Marx-brørne. Det vert som ei amerikansk suksesshistorie, dei veks opp i fattigdom i New York, og endar opp som velståande skodespelarar i California. For nokre (få) av oss er det meste her kjend frå før, men det som gjer filmen sjåverdig er at her er ei mengd ukjende klipp, stort sett frå fjernsyn. Filmen handlar lite om Zeppo og Gummo, det er dei tre andre som viser best att, og på fjernsyn er dei løgnare enn på filmane. Alle tre improviserer glimrande, og ikkje minst viser dei at dei har suveren kontroll på kva som er morosamt.
To timar med ein smilande munn, og av og til ein rungande latter. Det einaste minuset er at filmen stoppar litt brått.
Guffen tilrår.
