    A fun film with typical Mel Brooks comedy.
  • August 11, 2007
    Mel Brooks goes homeless and hangs out with smelly bums in this dismal comedy, which is somewhat eye-opening.

    Another good Mel Brooks movie
  • March 4, 2008
    Weak beginning, picks up in the middle, dies at the end.

    The most hillarious and funny Brooks movie I ever seen. I can watch and re-watch the tape 100 times.
    This is not the typical Mel Brooks film. It was much less slapstick than most of his movies and actually had a plot that was followable. Leslie Ann Warren made the movie, she is ...( read more)such a fantastic, under-rated actress. There were some moments that could have been fleshed out a bit more, and some scenes that could probably have been cut to make the room to do so, but all in all, this is worth the price to rent and see it. The acting was good overall, Brooks himself did a good job without his characteristic speaking to directly to the audience. Again, Warren was the best actor in the movie, but "Fume" and "Sailor" both played their parts well.
