Robin Hood: Men in Tights

Avi Green | 12:56 p.m. Oct. 4, 1999

It was certainly worth watching as a time filler, but it's
a shame that it couldn't match the humor of Mel Brooks'
hits like Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles, and
underrated comedies like High Anxiety and Spaceballs.
Obviously, Brooks has to resume his comedic studies again.

Since watching this Mel Brooks film my previous favourite
film has been knocked off the top spot. I love this film
and I can watch it over and over again, still loving the
humour. Top marks!

This is my favorite movie in the whole entire world. I
like it much more thar Young Frankenstein. I've seen it
more times than I've seen any other movie, and know it by
heart. I laugh my *#@ off everytime i see it, and it will
keep cracking me up for as long as I live.

Every time I watch this movie, I find something new to
laugh about (such as the don's "lizard"). It is a
takeoff, but considering I like Robin Hood movies in
general, I figure I'll be kind to this one.

Robin Hood Men In Tights is one of the funniest comedies
ever. There is something always new I find when I watch it
again. The jokes never get tiring. I ceartainly recomend
this movie for eveyone who wants to get a good laugh.

I wish I hadn't seen it.
It has gross jokes and scenes.
I give it 1 star 'cause I laughed a little.

I loved this movie. It's one of my favorites. I've watched
it so many times. It's one of those rare films that I would
actually like to watch again and again...and I do. I don't
understand why it gets such bad reviews, but I really like
it. It's a hysterical and wonderfully put together film. A
must see for anyone with a sense of humor.
