If you like the Marx Brothers, you'll like Brain Donors
by stankow1998-11-22

"An obvious rip-off of the Marx Brothers' "Night at the Opera," but who cares? It was damn funny, with John Turturro playing the Groucho part to the hilt and the hilarious Bob Nelson doing a great Harpo, right down to the raincoat. A pity it bombed in theaters, but it makes a great "This one too" movie to rent -- an hour and a half you won't regret plopping on the couch and laughing your head off...."

💡 Did You Know?

Although unmentioned in the official description of the movie, the screenplay and characters are based on the classic comedy masterpiece by The Marx Brothers - A Night at the Opera (1935).
