I cannot resist any Mel Brooks film.

Even when other fans were disappointed, I laughed frequently and hard. There is one extended sequence where I was doubled over.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights

To say that it was lesser Mel is basically to damn with not very faint praise.

Or whatever.

This guy says that he is borrowing from himself. Well? What? Of fucking course.

I got it because of Cary Elwes but was pleased to see many comic actors and comedians show up in bits.

All funny.

I didn't much like Amy Yasbeck as Maid Marian but she is a girl and I am not likely to compare her favorably with the likes of Dom Deluise. She is outclassed.

I would imagine the hardest part of making this film would be to have all the comedians keep a lid on it.

I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5 as it is unlikely that I will want to see it again. Repetition stales the jokes.

But I am sure glad I did see it and if it popped up on the screen right now, I would watch it again.

Hilariously, this scene in the trailer is not in the film!

There is also a half hour making of film right at the end of the trailer.

The voiceover is by George Takei! I just got it on the second hearing. I am so pleased with myself.
