Critic Reviews
-
Charles Cassady, Common Sense Media
Dirty jokes, some sparkle in uneven Mel Brooks classic.
-
Sarah Boslaugh, Playback:stl
Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it bombs, but at least Brooks keeps things moving so you're not stuck too long with any particular bit.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
Hearing some of those old, beloved one-liners again made me smile, but they did not have the power to make me laugh anew.
-
Christian Toto, What Would Toto Watch?
Brooks' fractured History is salvaged by the tuneful 'Inquisition.'
-
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
As sketch comedy goes, Mel Brooks' History of the World: Part I isn't bad. But it also isn't up to the level of his best work.
