January 3, 2009I'm usually anti-remake but this one isn't bad. Still, not nearly as good as the original.

After transforming his first motion picture into a smash Broadway musical, Mel Brooks brings the story of two would-be theatrical moguls turned con men back to the screen in this musical comedy. Max Bialyst...( read more) -

I usually don't watch remakes, but this I had to watch because of its talented comedians, Nathan Lane and Will Ferrell. Well, there's nothing much more to say than "Guten Tag clap clap"!
"The Producers" is full of very lousy acting. O...( read more) -
December 22, 2008Will Ferrell did alright stepping into the role of the author of Springtime for Hitler. I'm not a fan of Uma, so I really don't understand why they had to give her the part just for being more recognizable to movie audiences when the actress who played the role on Broadway won a...( read more)

David Edelstein, Slate
The stage performances haven't been scaled down: Everything is pitched to the second balcony. And Mel Brooks' material -- especially the retro queeny stereotypes -- is excruciatingly dated. full review

Enough is enough. Somebody should just stop remaking The Producers. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
You can't kill all the laughs, not from a script by Mel Brooks, but Stroman sells Brooks' songs with the subtlety of cannon fire. full review

Watching The Producers is simply exhausting. full review

The new movie is a success, that I know. How much of a success, I cannot be sure. Someone who has seen the original once or twice, or never, would be a better judge. full review

July 28, 2008I loved this movie, but then again, I really like musicals. Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick make an awesome team. Roger Bart and Gary Beach make a great team also.

November 24, 2007ugh!!! it was a hilarious movie but c'mon!!! it is definitely not a classic or a memorable movie. i watched it last night and yes, i was laughing, and that's it. there was nothing about it that shouted "emmy nominee" to me. probably one of the very few movies that can totally suck and yet could be one of the most hilarious movies this year. it's just as if the producers of "the producers" wanted the movie to be a flop and since so many people, (according to this page) totally dislike it, then they made more money making a flop than a hit. yup, it's definetly a flop. hope them producers enjoy rolling in their dirty money. ^_^

June 24, 2007Easily the worst movie i've ever attempted to watch. I couldn't even finish it it was so bad. The only redeeming quality was Will Ferrell and even he sucked.
