Duck Soup Ratings & Reviews

  • rvrsideAugust 30, 2025
    Some parts are hilarious, really laugh out loud funny. Other parts are almost hard to sit through and then some are just bizarre. But you really need to see this at least once, so you'd better get on with it.

    Duck Soup showcases all 4 Marx Brothers brilliantly, Help is on its way!
