Rating: 6/10 --
A funny thing happened on the way to Hollywood: A good musical-comedy lost much of its fizz.
Movie Metropolis
Rating: 4/5 --
Hilarious, stagey version of hit Broadway musical comedy.

Rating: 2/4 --
Humorous to an extent, but lacking the bang you might expect from a big screen musical.

Cinema Sight

The funniest movie ever made
DVDLaser
If the movie at times doesn't quite hang together, it still is made up of a series of scenes that are individually hilarious.

Product Description:
Based on the Broadway musical comedy, this farce set in Ancient Rome follows slave and scam-artist Pseudolus (Zero Mostel in a signature role) as he attempts to win his freedom by brokering the sale of a virgin. Stephen Sondheim's score adds to the appeal.
