Funny funny movie

Rating: 8/10 (26 January 2003)

In this one movie, Mel Brooks simultaneously satirizes Nazis, Hippies, and Broadway, with a funny plot involving a would-be con artist (Zero Mostel) and his unwitting dupe (Gene Wilder).
The songs, written by Mel, are unbelievably funny; from the Broadway show tunes to the psychedelic rock send-ups, his renditions are dead-on.
It's only 88 minutes long, and in a way that is good, as it keeps the jokes coming non-stop. Take an hour and a half and have a good laugh.
