Entertainment Reviews:
...Brooks remains a talent....There is tremendous glee to be derived from the spontaneity of his outrageous antics...
Variety
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Robin Hood: Men In Tights, Brooks' spoof of the Robin Hood legend, gets off to a creaky start before it loosens up and produces laughs.

Chicago Tribune
Marvelously funny even for those who didn't see the film it hilariously parodies - 199l's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - this Mel Brooks comedy is one sprightly spoof.

People Magazine
The best way to enjoy Men in Tights... is to blank out the dull knockabout passages and sit tight for the kind of loopy squiggles that only Brooks can come up with.

Supposedly it took Tracey Ullman five hours to get into make-up for her role as the king's cook, Latrine. She could have written a better script in a single session while her wrinkles hardened and they built up her nose.

Robin Hood is surely one of Mel Brooks's worst disasters.

Rating: 2/5 --
To say that this is the funniest film Mel Brooks has co-written, produced and directed in some years is, alas, not saying very much.

Product Description:
A parody of the much-done medieval English tale of Robin Hood and his Merry Men, ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS also directly lampoons the politically correct ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES, which starred the hearthrob of the time, the very un-British Kevin Costner. English hearthrob Cary Elwes gets a turn in the role of the hero of Sherwood Forest who robs from the rich to give to the poor when he returns from the Crusades to find his beloved King Richard (Patrick Stewart in an amazing Sean Connery imitation) usurped by the evil Prince John (Richard Lewis) and his henchman, the Sheriff of Rottingham (Roger Rees). In typical Brooks fashion there is much satire, some gross jokes, a dash of screwball farce, and a Jewish spin put on gentile characters: Hence, Friar Tuck is transformed into Rabbi Tuckman (Mel Brooks), who is eager to perform circumcisions on the dim-witted Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Tracey Ullmann further livens up the ensemble as the witchlike cook Latrine. Those familiar with other Brooks films will also note moments parodying some of the director's own past spoofs, including HIGH ANXIETY and BLAZING SADDLES.
Product Description:
Cary Elwes stars as Robin Hood, the dashing defender of the down-trodden, who along with his merry men and Maid Marion, resides in Sherwood Forest. There they have become together to fight against the seriously neurotic Prince John, the not quite-evil Sheriff of Rottingham, and the mad sorceress Latrine.
