Product: The Court Jester [VHS] (1956)
Rating: 5.0
One of my all time favorite movies.
This is an absolutely hilarous movie, from beginning to end. Aside from being a dead-on parody of the Robin Hood movies, it's packed with classic comedy and song bits. Basil Rathbone is the perfect evil villian, and Kaye is perfect as a bumbling peasant pressed into service to overthrow the villainous King. If you don't buy this because you mistakenly expect an old comedy to be boring, tiresome, or dated, then you'll be missing out on a lot of laughs.
