The Producers Reviews
Hilarious! I tried the original film, and it was nowhere near as good. I guess it depends on which version you see first. Very entertaining.
Very disappointed I didn’t get to see will farrel as Hitler
The movie was absolutely hilarious
amazing lyrics, great songs, ok dancing, silliest storyline. Amazing performance from Nathane Lane and Will Ferrel.
This is a zany, wacky film, although after a while it all falls a bit flat. It features numerous musical numbers, given its a kind of a musical within a musical (a musical about the making (creation?) of a musical put together to flop). Its somewhat entertaining but to me it went on too long, with a fairly flimsy plot line. There is comedy, which is pretty cringey/cheesy its fair to say. If you don't like Will Ferrell's usual roles then you certainly won't enjoy this. I wouldn't say its not at all entertaining - its an easy watch but it just isn't particularly memorable. I also felt that the ending wasn't great.
Oof! This just goes to prove how much different a film can be, depending on the crowd you see it with. I remember this being fun as hell, watching it in the background with all my coworkers at the video store, countless times, having a blast. How shocked was I to find just how corny and annoying it actually is when I sit down and concentrate on it... Such a shame, considering how great the source material is.
A great farce in the Mel Brooks style. Actually more refined than most of his work. Mathew Broderic’s Leo Bloom is a surprisingly good dancer and looks younger and cuter than anyone should at his age. Max Bialystock is really amazing. Considering how many times he has performed the material, Nathan Lane’s performance is very fresh and engaging. Okay, they can both he hammy at times but that’s part of the goofy fun. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.
I have to admit that this movie is underrated. It's definitely got it's moments, and it's weird moments. It's overall a decent movie with a good cast. It may not be as good as the original, but this movie is still good. 4/5
The original Broadway show vomited and this is the result, it doesn't really know what it is, musical or stage show or a hybrid of both…
As someone who has not seen the original and accepted it as it was, if you have a satirical sense of humor this is a solid watch. Some of it is absolutely over the top and not for the over-sensitive. Theirs some solid one liners and background humor in it. The beginning does drag a bit which is what's stopping it from getting 5 stars but it certainly picks up. Brooks is brilliant in this one.
I LOVE Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick in this joyous romp. The bold names might have been a tad unnecessary and distracting, but overall everyone did a great job. The character actors were SUPERBE. The music (of course) was sublime. Loved, loved, loved it!!!!!
Love the acting and chemistry between Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick. Could watch this again and again.
Funny & entertaining!
Terrible horrible cringe musical starring some pretty good actors and actresses. But man this movie is a pure joke. I know it's supposed to be goofy but man this is the most phony movie I've seen since I saw Charlie's angels reboot. I legit quit musicals because of this.
