VHS Movie Reviews of Robin Hood - Men in Tights
Movie Review: Straight, but merry
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good, but not great, comedy from Mel Brooks. Some of the pop culture references hit the mark, but some corny one-liners ruin moments. Visual gags are pointed out way too long, but the ation sequences are well-developed. Big pluses must go to the actors. Elwes, Yasbeck, Chappelle, Rees, DeLuise, and many others light up the screen. And a small role given to Brooks himself is also a treat. So watch this if you want good, (sometimes) clean, and wild fun.
Summary of Robin Hood - Men in Tights
It's not Blazing Saddles, but there are some chuckles to be found in Mel Brooks's 1993 spoof of the Robin Hood legend. Cary Elwes is Robin (with a lighthearted jab at Kevin Costner's bad English accent in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves), while Richard Lewis plays an angst-ridden King John, and Roger Rees a snotty Sheriff of Nottingham. Comic David Chappelle has some good moments as the only black member of Robins's noble thieves, and Brooks does his own spin on Friar Tuck: Rabbi Tuchman. The song-and-dance sequences featuring a chorus line of the Merry Men ("We're men / men in tights") is vintage Brooks, but otherwise the film can't get any traction. --Tom KeoghComedy VHS Video
