Hysterically funny

Rating: Null/10 (9 October 2001)

As absurd as this film is, a lot of the humour is still very subtle, this seems to be the source of most of the negative comments, if a joke doesn't involve someone having sex with a pie/sibling/animal, then for a lot of people these days it simply won't register as funny (I really wish I didn't have to say things like this, I'm 18). The film itself is fantastic, Mel Brook's best, an ingenious spoof of broadway theater and possibly the best comedy ever made, Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel make for one of the most appealing comedy duos in cinematic history. My only complain is that every time I watch this film I get 'Springtime for Hitler' stuck is my head, and find myself uncontrollably busting into song. Cause for some strange looks considering how few people have seen this film.
