Duck Soup should make practically everybody laugh.

The Marx Brothers' best movie...
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

It also includes what is perhaps the Brothers' funniest scene ever: an immaculately timed and performed sequence with a broken mirror in which Groucho, Chico and Harpo look absolutely identical. A masterpiece.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten
This production is, for the most part, extremely noisy without being nearly as mirthful as [the Marx brothers'] other films.
