Critic Reviews
-
Joly Herman, Common Sense Media
Very very funny Hitchcock spoof with some adult humor.
-
Sarah Boslaugh, Playback:stl
...an homage to the films of Alfred Hitchcock, if by "homage" you mean a series of parody skits which would be at home on The Carol Burnett Show shoehorned into a plot drawing heavily on Spellbound.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
Most of this stuff isn't particularly funny however, and even though I watched High Anxiety for the first time in 2010, I'm not sure it would have been very funny back in 1977 either.

Christian Toto, What Would Toto Watch?
Brooks spoofs the master, Alfred Hithcock, and make a minor comedy classic of his own with High Anxiety
-
Scott Nash, Three Movie Buffs
One of Brooks lesser comedies from the 1970s, but it beats hands-down any of his later work.
