2008-10-02This is My favorite Comedy by the Legendary Mel Brooks. His Son Max wrote World War Z so buy that one too.
2008-10-01Even after 28 plus years, this movie is still funny. One of the "high" points is SUPER JOINT with the late, great Gregory Hines. Seriously, this is funny stuff. Ya gotta watch out for "the first art critic"!! Oh piss boy!! I can spend all day reciting the funny one liners, but do us all a favor, buy this movie, watch it when the kids are asleep.
2008-09-22This movie has a huge number of very funny moments. It's one of Mel Brooks' funniest films, and I laughed out loud durring a great deal of this.
2008-06-29While this isnt as good as "Blazing Saddles" and "Spaceballs," it's certainly better than "Dracula: Dead and Loving It." This film will make you laugh your @$$ off as Brooks brings out the ironic/slapstick humor from the Dawn of Man, the Roman Empire, the Spainish Inquisition (one of my favorite scenes), and the French Revolution. Gregory Hines, Sid Ceasar, Madeline Kahn, a cameo appearence of Juhn Hurt, and the voice of Orson Welles make this movie shine. Highly recomended for all Brooks fans, and for those who actualy want to see some humor in world history.
2008-04-01After more than 25 years of its theatrical release, I still had a faint memory of some good laughs.
Well, maybe the problem is me (25+ years older), but it doesnt seem that funny anymore.
If you are a teenager than there are some good laughs in it for you, but more mature crowd will probably dismiss it as rubbish.
My wife slept halfway, but I somehow managed to go all the way to the END. 2 stars for old days sake...

| Editorial Review |
Mel Brooks's 1981, three-part comedy--set in the Stone Age, the Roman Empire, and the French Revolution--is pure guilty pleasure. Narrated by Orson Welles and featuring a lot of famous faces in guest appearances (beyond the official cast), the film opens well with Sid Caesar playing a caveman, then moves along to the unlikely but somehow hilarious juxtaposition of Caesar's soldiers (the other Caesar, not Sid) with pot humor, and ends on a dumb-funny note in the French bloodbath. This is a take-it-or-leave-it movie, and it works best if you're in a take-it-or-leave-it mood. --Tom Keogh
