Crusading nobleman Robin of Loxley (Cary Elwes) escapes from prison in Jerusalem and returns home to find that the evil Prince John (Richard Lewis) has confiscated his family estate and is abusing the citizenry. Robin enlists his blind attendant, Blinkin (Mark Blankfield), his friend Will Scarlett O'Hara (Matthew Porretta) and Little John (Eric Allan Kramer) to help regain his home. Robin also hopes to woo the beautiful Maid Marian (Amy Yasbeck), but her chastity belt may prove a challenge.

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.

Mel Brooks should have done better with the material. Too much slapstick. Too much shtick. Cary Ewles tries hard but his cast lets him down. Blazing Saddles light in tights.

Cary plays Robin, more recently for Saw, Auchoo is played by Dave, apart of his team. A funny comedy about Robin and his merry men, that's actually good.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, o filme tem como a paródia principal o filme do robin hood e 1991, o ruim desse filme é que não tem paródia de outros filmes, e fica fazendo piadas ruins atrás de piadas ruins e isso deixo o filme fraco, com isso, eu não recomendo esse filme.

In 2025, nostalgia can highlight some of its best parts, but many of the jokes fail to land.

Everything just fell completely flat. You could really feel the age in the humour, choreography, score, even the acting quality. Weak.

This movie has plenty of hilarious, weird moments that are beautifully complimented by Cary Elwes, who plays a fourth wall- breaking, charming Robin Hood who embarks on a classic Mel Brooks adventure. The movie has its moments of hilarity, and it was a laugh out loud kind of movie. The jokes didn't feel too dated unlike earlier Mel works and the acting was phenomenal. The characters were all fun and had their own little consistencies in the intentionally inconsistent film. This was a wonderful movie to just turn your brain off to.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
