Quincy Adams Wagstaff, the new president of Huxley University, accidentally hires bumblers Baravelli and Pinky to help his school win the big football game against the rival Darwin University.

“One of the better Marx Brothers movies. This one came right in the middle of their prime, between Monkey Business and Duck Soup (probably their two best films). While Horse Feathers isnu0026#39;t quite as funny as either of those, it still has plenty of laughs. The Marx Brothers were still young, but they knew what they were doing now. Again they take advantage of the film medium to do things they never could have done on stage, like the wild football finale. The involvement of the supporting cast is also kept to a minimum, which is always a good thing in Marx Bros. films. They do go back to relying on too many musical numbers. Grouchou0026#39;s opening song u0026quot;Whatever it is, Iu0026#39;m Against itu0026quot; seems awkwardly out of place, but itu0026#39;s interesting to see all four brothers do their own version of u0026quot;Everyone Says I Love you.u0026quot; Itu0026#39;s not their very best work, but itu0026#39;s not far from it either.”
