Billed as being from the comedy team that brought you Airplane and the Reagan Administration, this is a retelling of
A Night At The Opera
, the
Marx Brothers
movie.
John Turturro
is Roland T. Flakfizer, the
Groucho
role. An ambulance chasing (literally) shyster lawyer who has the ear of a society matron Lillian Oglethorpe
Nancy Marchand
. This could be seen as a cheap rip-off of a Marx Bros movie, but the stylistic direction is paced so different from contemporaneous movies that I believe the intent was to pay faithful homage to the grand masters.
Bob Nelson
plays the
Harpo
role nicely, with some great sight gags, and
Mel Smith
is Rocco Meloncheck, a brilliant
Chico
stand in. Turturro is surprisingly adept at the slapstick comedy and while the love subplot is weak and uninteresting (as it was in the original Marx Bros movies) it is definitely one of the better minor comedies of the early 1990's.
