Critics Consensus

Undisciplined, scatological, profoundly silly, and often utterly groan-worthy, Robin Hood: Men in Tights still has an amiable, anything-goes goofiness that has made it a cult favorite.

Johanna Steinmetz

Chicago Tribune

Robin Hood: Men In Tights, Brooks' spoof of the Robin Hood legend, gets off to a creaky start before it loosens up and produces laughs.

Rated: 2.5/4

Empire Magazine

To say that this is the funniest film Mel Brooks has co-written, produced and directed in some years is, alas, not saying very much.

Rated: 2/5

Chicago Tribune

A most disappointing Mel Brooks movie parody that suggests that the once hilarious Brooks has completely lost his way.

Rated: 0.5/4

Gone With The Twins

Though it’s consistently amusing (yet largely toothless in its originality and edge), there isn't a wealth of laugh-out-loud moments.

Rated: 6/10

The movie is not nearly as bawdy as it needs to be. Or as smart, either.

Robin Hood is surely one of Mel Brooks's worst disasters.

I will never, EVER understand why this offering of pure comedic gold wasn’t critically welcomed as an introduction to a newer, crisper, and arguably funnier Mel Brooks. There are multiple gut-busting huge laughs here, no matter how many times I’ve seen it. If you don’t gasp for breath at *least* once from an explosion of laughter, check your pulse.

While not Mel Brooks' best work, it's definitely entertaining and worth watching.

What an absolutely hilarious and witty movie. It may be no were near the real history behind the title but it still bring laughs and humour for all.

One of the best Robin Hood's of all time. Dave Chappelle plays Achoo And the movie all around is full of comedy yet still holds the charm of Robin Hood. One would think that Mel Brooks made this movie is so good.
