Nearly everything is done in that special Mel Brooks brand of broad comedy that quickly palls for all but the faithful.

Silly strained comedy.

Low end of Mel Brooks' films.

One of the funniest movies from my childhood.

Mel Brooks was THE comic master of the 70's

What disconcerts me about Mr Brooks is his obviousness, the lack of any true surprise in his gags.

Not Brooks' best, but still funny

Brooks' tribute to silent cinema has its drawbacks, but his obvious affection for pre-talkies saves the day.

Mel Brooks has never known when a joke is worthy of a five-minute bit and when it's something you can flesh out into a full length feature.

Far from Brooks' best work, but it's the one that makes me laugh the most.
