Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2005)

In the first place, note that I believe this movie was completely excellent.
My first intro to it was the stage production, which of course, you know, since the '68 movie was much... "less", made it a let-down, but it was certainly "good enough for me". The movie, just as the musical, left me completely bouncy, cheerful, and ridiculous. I'm still experiencing side effects! ((laughs))
My critiques are many, though... in the opening, some of the pictures in which are "paused" are a little... well, dated. I just don't really see why a man toppled over a table in the corner while credits are rolling about is a "good" effect. Even if, by the second time one sees this movie, they find it funny (myself included.)
The Producers is definitely near the top of my favorite movies list, I'll tell you that much. And having a zillion show-girls singing, "springtiiiiime for Hitleeerrr and Geermanyyyy..." is, in fact, rather humorous. Definitely 10/10, even if it is a little offensive to some. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with young children :) Why do I like this movie? It's simple. It's show-biz about show-biz. Some people despise this kind of thing, but I adore it!
