What is good here is definitely the lack of action as it is thankfully not too present here. Yes, it did make me smile (but not laugh) a couple of times and its first act in particular is funny and it does have a couple of inventive and very interesting sequences with some good slapstick, but this is for the most part an unfunny film and it never made me laugh properly. A Night at the Opera is very disappointing even in that area. And even the actors do not make an impression except for Groucho who is very good and reliable as usual. The acting is definitely good, but the characters themselves are either forgettable or dull. The characters are also all forgettable with even the Marx Brothers not being that great. I just wasn’t invested in it and that is especially a problem given its very short running time. I found its first and last act to be okay, but everything in the middle was very dull and extremely forgettable. The plot here is never as involving or as exciting as it should have been and the whole opera angle is boring. Of course, her mother really saw her first,īut there’s no point in bringing the Civil War into this “ It is such an overrated, very weak movie. A Night at the Opera Movie ReviewĪ Night at the Opera is a 1935 comedy film directed by Sam Wood and starring the Marx Brothers.
