Though it’s consistently amusing (yet largely toothless in its originality and edge), there isn't a wealth of laugh-out-loud moments.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 9, 2023

The movie is not nearly as bawdy as it needs to be. Or as smart, either.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 18, 2021

Robin Hood is surely one of Mel Brooks's worst disasters.

| Mar 27, 2019

Robin Hood: Men In Tights, Brooks' spoof of the Robin Hood legend, gets off to a creaky start before it loosens up and produces laughs.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 7, 2018

To say that this is the funniest film Mel Brooks has co-written, produced and directed in some years is, alas, not saying very much.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 7, 2018

A most disappointing Mel Brooks movie parody that suggests that the once hilarious Brooks has completely lost his way.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Dec 7, 2018

Predictably slapdash but indefatigably good-natured and sometimes funny to boot.

| Dec 7, 2018

A nominal spoof of traditional swashbucklers, this crashingly unfunny comedy is mainly an excuse for Brooks to take yet another crack at his master list.

| Dec 6, 2018

Watch your Blackadder videos instead.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 6, 2018

The best way to enjoy Men in Tights... is to blank out the dull knockabout passages and sit tight for the kind of loopy squiggles that only Brooks can come up with.

| Dec 6, 2018

Marvelously funny even for those who didn't see the film it hilariously parodies - 199l's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - this Mel Brooks comedy is one sprightly spoof.

| Dec 6, 2018

Supposedly it took Tracey Ullman five hours to get into make-up for her role as the king's cook, Latrine. She could have written a better script in a single session while her wrinkles hardened and they built up her nose.

| Dec 6, 2018

But generally, Brooks' humor is extremely limited.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 6, 2018

Crude and sometimes obscure, Mel Brooks is still an American institution. His Robin Hood: Men in Tights is a merry romp through the forest.

| Dec 6, 2018

Although sporadically funny and not quite the disaster it was initially made out to be, this Robin Hood robs gags from other films while giving the poor viewer far too few laughs.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 6, 2018

Disappointing.

| Dec 6, 2018

Men in Tights falls well short of Brooks at his high-water mark.

| Apr 10, 2018

Cary Elwes is far more dashing and jubilant than either Kevin Costner or Russell Crowe, and he seems born for the role, rather than shoehorned into it.

| May 27, 2010

Robin Hood: Men in Tights marks a return to the wild, anarchic scatological comedies that made Mel Brooks a marquee name around the world.

| Oct 13, 2008

An impressive cast cannot unfortunately save the day.
