Robin Hood Men In Tights DVD Report

In this 1993 spoof Robin Hood Men In Tights, Mel Brooks goes for laughs in the way he does does so well! Robin Hood (Cary Elwes) returns from the Crusades to find his beloved King Richard (Patrick Stewart) usurped by the evil Prince John (Richard Lewis) and his henchman, the Sheriff of Rottingham (Roger Rees).

There is much satire, gross jokes, screwball farce, and a Jewish spin put on gentile characters - Friar Tuck is transformed into Rabbi Tuckman, Tracey Ullman further livens things up as the witchlike cook Latrine, and Isaac Hayes makes an appearance too! Those familiar with other Brooks films will also note moments parodying past Brookes movies, including High Anixety, History of the World Part 1, and Blazing Saddles!

Despite having seen it before, I laughed long and loud, often, Robin Hood Men In Tights is still a great movie!
