What our customer's say!

"2.5 stars out of 4", The Bottom Line:

Though Cary Elwes is perfectly cast as a self-aware Robin Hood, too much of this film's humor seems pitched at the 6th graders that Mel Brooks began targeting with 1987's Spaceballs

"cheesy cornball", The Robin Hood legend with juvenile jokes. I actually did laugh a couple of times, but not nearly as much as I expected to. It seemed like they were making it up as they went.

"Straight, but merry", 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.

"Good, but the jokes are a little bland.", I know i will catch some criticism for this review, but o well. the movie is funny, but utilizes many cheap jokes, which i find takes from the actual comedy. another one of the few faults i've seen with mel brooks is that some his jokes can be seen a mile away. almost as if he's trying to force comedy instead of letting it flow.

robin hood is very hansom, and is probably one of the funniest in the cast, while chappelle (achoo) is funny as well. the rest are mildly amusing.

the fight scenes are done in a silly way, which is good. i also liked the way the movie acknowledges that it is a movie. they break the 4th wall frequently, revel in shots including stage handlers, and even pull out the script at one point.

main point is do i think its worth buying? yes. but don't expect this to be anywhere near as funny as young doctor frankenstein.



"Movies like this make me very, very merry...", A film like `Robin Hood - Men in Tights' is really nothing more than good clean fun, in the lines of Mel Brooks other spoof films. It's more successful than some (yes, I didn't like `Blazing Saddles') and less successful than others (it's no `Young Frankenstein'). The film pokes fun at, none other than, Robin Hood, and in particular at the 1991 Costner vehicle `Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves'.

The film is littered with comedic talent and jabs at movie after movie, but it never feels overstuffed, which is nice because that is a very easy problem to run into. Cary Elwes is hilarious as Robin Hood. I love his comedic work (`Princess Bride' anyone) and here he does a brilliant mockery of Kevin Costner's turn in the `Prince of Thieves' film ("Unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent!"). He is aiding immensely by a very talented cast of characters, from Roger Rees to Dave Chappelle to veteran comics like Isaac Hayes and Dom DeLuise (Patrick Stewart even graces the film with his presence).

The film pits Robin against the evil Sheriff of Rottingham and the laughs just spill out from there. Roger Rees is flawless as the Sheriff, creating a supremely hysterical villain we love to hate. Dave Chappelle provides some great comic relief (this was a pre-stardom Chappelle proving why he is the comedic genius he is today) and Tracy Ullman tears it up as Latrine, the witch who just wants a piece of man meat. Amy Yasbeck is beautiful if not a tad dull as Marian, but her beauty is what attracts Robin so I guess that's all she needed to be (and that chastity belt bit is hilarious).

I don't really know what all else to say aside from the fact that this is a rompfest. There is so much to enjoy here. Sure, it is not a perfect comedy, and it is not particularly smart (the gags are really all spoof related with nothing genuinely intelligent being mocked) but it works very well. Sometimes all you need is a good laugh, and this film provides them in spades (the singing and dancing bits are just the right touch of something extra to really set this film apart). Watch out for Dom DeLuise's wonderful prod at `The Godfather', sliding in a little bit of culture in this very funny spoof on everyone's favorite thief.

"Airmen Deployed in Greenland, ejoyed great laughs", I am deployed in Greenland right now, at Thule Air Force Base.
There is not much to do here on our off time exept for watch movies. Amazon is a great place to order DVD's from. Most of my orders have come within 2 weeks, and in great condition. This movie made me laugh, and I recommend it for everyone!

"One of Mel Brook's most underrated movies!", In the 12th century, Robin Hood of Locksly (Cary Elwes) has returned back from Africa to England where it's being ruled by the greedy Prince John (Richard Lewis) while John's brother King Richard (Patrick Stewart) is off on a crusade in a far off place. He is taxing the lives out of people using the Sheriff of Rottingham (Roger Rees) but lucky for Robin he joins up with Ahchoo (Dave Chappelle), Little John (Eric Allan Kramer), Will Scarlett O'Hara (Matthew Porretta) and blind woodsman Blinkin (Mark Blankfield) to rob from the tax collectors to give to the poor, try to win an archery contest, defeat the Sheriff and Prince John and also win the heart and chastily belt of the beautiful Maid Marian (Amy Yasbeck).

Co-starring Dom DeLuise, Mel Brooks himself, Tracey Ullman, Issac Hayes and Dick Van Patten, this is a wonderful parody of the Robin Hood legend especially of other Robin Hood movies and other movies of no genre from the legendary Mel Brooks. Cary Elwes whom you remember as Wesley from "The Princess Bride" was pitch perfect for the title role cause he does look like Errol Flynn's classic Robin Hood, Amy Yasbeck is totally sexy playing Maid Marian and the film's cast is flawless. Mel Brooks does add a touch of his comedy gold in this movie especially on a few funny musical sequences, It's one of Mel Brook's funniest and most underrated movies that has became a cult favorite and worth a view.

This DVD contains sharp picture and sound with a couple of extras like the theatrical trailer to this and other Brook's movies from Fox and an HBO Behind The Scenes featurette.

"Like Watching Old People #!@%", It's my own private theory that the decade between roughly 1966, and roughly 1976, represents not just a sea-change/high-point/Belle Epoque of the arts in this country, but the duration of a force-field imposed by aliens who briefly took over our bodies and spent a long arts and crafts holiday here, giving us 2001 and REVOLVER and BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS and CLOSE TO THE EDGE and CHINATOWN and much more in the process; and when they left at last for their home world, the bodies they inhabited reverted right back to their true selves. In the case of Mel Brooks, through whose corporeal shell the Visitors had crafted THE PRODUCERS, BLAZING SADDLES and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, that means a pushy, tiresome, obnoxious hack.

Well, it's as good an explanation as any, right? Brooks so totally lost the plot from the latter half of the 70s on that bodysnatching aliens and Faustian bargains spring naturally to mind as reasonable explanations: that's how fast, and far, he fell off the cliff. There isn't a single funny moment in his ROBIN HOOD spoof, but this is far worse than simply "unfunny". Few things in life are as painful to endure as third-rate comedy performed badly, by incompetents incapable of timing a gag or delivering even a throwaway line without stepping on the joke. Not that this is measurably worse than the half-dozen or so lead balloons Brooks made prior to this. On the other hand, it's every bit as wheezingly unfunny as they were. If it wasn't, would Dick van Patten even be in this? Yeah.... when I think of freewheeling, anything-goes absurdist satire, Van Patten's the first name that comes to mind.

Oh, yeah....about those jokes. They're about on the level of a Bob Hope Special from 1971, only with the racier, edgier material cut out.

"And this is my friend Will Scarlet."

"Well, Scarlet's my middle name. (pause) My full name is Will Scarlet O'Hara. (longer pause) We're from Georgia."

That's one of the better ones, folks. And even though the joke as written is terrible, and could never be made funny no matter how it was read, the tortuous Pasadena Playhouse pauses actually make the thing even worse than it already is. Which is pretty much this movie in a nutshell - bad ideas, made worse by terrible writing, further doomed by an unsuitable cast, all of whom flail away helplessly without any sort of competent direction.

If you must see this, see it on basic cable so you'll at least have the cell-phone and diet soda commercials to look forward to. And maybe you, too, will wonder how it was possible anybody ever thought Mel Brooks was a genius, and how in the world did he keep getting money to make these godawful comedies? I can't help you with the second question, but as far as the first goes, trust me; it was the aliens.


"Hilarious", I've seen this probably hundreds of times and it never gets old. This is probalby Cary Elwes's best role, yes even better than the Princess Bride. He's just utterly spot on in this. There are plenty of gags and spoofs of anything related to Robin Hood. But I don't think it ever really goes overboard. The 'mole' bit was utterly hilarious. There are just too many funny scenes in this to name them all. If you haven't seen this and love original comedies, then this is perfect for you.

"excellent purchase", I received my DVD in a timely manner and it was in perfect condition. I would not hesitate to order from Amazon again.
