Horse Feathers Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Variety Staff
The madcap Marxes, in one of their maddest screen frolics.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Funny Marx Bros classic, featuring four brothers on a tear at college.
Arizona Daily Star
Phil Villarreal
Under the loose but capable direction of Norman Z. McLeod, the Marxes leap from one lunatic set piece to the next. Wagstaff talks over, below and around everyone he meets.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...[there's an] overall feeling of pointlessness at work here.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
Some of the fun is even more reprehensible than the doings of these clowns in previous films, but there is no denying that their antics and their patter are helped along by originality and ready wit.

Cole Smithey
Witty, funny and great.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Not a personal Marx brothers favorite but a decent film nonetheless.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An anarchic parody of college life.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
The grandfather in spirit and fact of both Tex Avery and Billy Wilder.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
The final game in this film is a hallmark in the Brothers' oeuvre.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
Swordfish! "Everyone Says I Love You!" One of the funniest of the early Marx films; a crazy quilt of puns and gags.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
In one of their most anarchic films, the Marx Brothers take on higher learning -- and higher learning loses.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
This 1932 release was the first Marx film to take on the Depression, and the brothers manage to satirize everything from education to prostitution and bootlegging.
Filmsite
Tim Dirks
Horse Feathers (1932), the fourth comedy masterpiece from the Marx Brothers, is an anarchic parody of higher education and a subversive attack
