I have to say that this is really bad. After Saddles & Frankenstein i have to say this sucks. I enjoyed Silent Movie & History of the World pretty well but i did not find one thing funny in this it was like the Robin Hood in Tights awful.

WTF

Are you familiar with the Hitchcock movies which are being parodied in this movie?

I guess he probably isn't.

It is Mel Brooks' worst film. There isn't a laugh to be had and the ludicrous plot is worse than bad. Sorry, J Peregoy. I know you loved it and I watched it because of your recommendation but this one really sucked.

It has some great scenes (the piano bar, the phone booth), but unfortunately they're few and far between.

I didn't think it sucked, but it wasn't one of Mel's best.

Too much Mel, not enough Harvey and Cloris. Some laughs are the beginning. The second half of the movie just drug on. It just stopped being funny.
