I have never found so much to laugh at in a movie before. All of the gags in this film are totally ridiculous and over-the-top. The Marx Brothers are the funniest people who ever lived. Groucho comes up with the most hilarious and unpredictable things to say, as does Chico. I always worry I'll start to memorize too many of the lines and won't laugh as much next time, but there are always too many great quotes and I still enjoy the film with each viewing. Harpo is also hysterical in his pantomime act and manages to convey more in a few gestures than most people can say in many words. Although most people prefer "Duck Soup" to this film, "A Night at the Opera" is the funniest in my opinion. In this film the laughs built more and more until the climactic ending, providing to be the funniest in film history. Perhaps the funniest thing in this film is watching and listening to Groucho insult those in high society. I won't give away any of the film's humor, but see it for sure. Way better than any of the crude and annoying humor found in today's comedies. See it and truly laugh for the first time.
