<em>'Robin Hood: Men in Tights'</em> is a film that I can see the appeal for. For me, I 'only' found it to be noticeably amusing, as in I don't think I actually laughed once but I was constantly appreciating the many gags that arrive; smirk...


Movie spotlight
Robin Hood comes home after fighting in the Crusades to learn that the noble King Richard is in exile and that the despotic King John now rules England, with the help of the Sheriff of Rottingham. Robin Hood assembles a band of fellow patriots to do battle with King John and the Sheriff.
After fighting in the Crusades, Robin Hood returns to England to find his home and lands taken over by the greedy Sheriff of Nottingham. He must team up with a band of misfits to reclaim his birthright and thwart the Sheriff's evil plans. This spoof also features a blind soothsayer, a very important dwarf, and a villain who can't stand the sight of his own reflection.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights was a moderate commercial success and received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised its witty satire and Mel Brooks's signature comedic style, others found it to be a weaker entry in the spoof genre compared to his earlier works. Audiences generally enjoyed the slapstick humor and memorable characters.
A laugh-out-loud spoof filled with Mel Brooks's trademark humor.
Features a strong comedic performance from Cary Elwes and a memorable debut from Dave Chappelle.
While not as sharp as Brooks's previous films, it still delivers plenty of gags and silly fun.
Google audience: Audiences appreciated the film's humor and its faithful parody of Robin Hood films. Many found the cast's performances, especially Cary Elwes and Dave Chappelle, to be highlights. Some noted that while funny, it didn't quite reach the comedic heights of Brooks's earlier classics.
None notable.
The scene where Robin Hood's men try to sneak into the Sheriff's castle was filmed with many of the actors wearing ill-fitting, oversized costumes to enhance the comedic effect.
