Billy B @billyThebob Jul 27 This is my comfort movie. Idk where I would be without it. So funny so incredible. I will have the men in tights song playing at my wedding and funeral. I love how it mocks other Robin Hood movies by talking in a British accent. See more margalit M @jewelmor Jul 4 A funny and though sometimes just a sit comedy, it mocks the serious movies of Robin Hood. It refers to other well known movies and actors, such as Merlon Brando in The Godfather. The text is funny, too. A play on words, puns etc. See more Chris S @Janomi Jun 29 Robin Hood: Men in Tights is exactly the kind of parody Mel Brooks does best. It cleverly references classic Robin Hood adaptations—particularly Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves—while also poking fun at Hollywood adventure clichés and Brooks' own filmmaking style. The nonstop stream of visual gags, puns, fourth-wall breaks, and pop culture jokes means that even if one joke misses, another is usually right behind it. Cary Elwes is perfectly cast as Robin Hood, playing the role completely straight while embracing the absurdity around him. His sincerity makes the comedy work, and Roger Rees is hilarious as the Sheriff of Rottingham, brilliantly spoofing Alan Rickman's iconic villain. Richard Lewis, Amy Yasbeck, Dave Chappelle, and Tracey Ullman all add to the fun. Not every joke has aged equally well, and Brooks' scattershot style can be hit or miss. Still, it's a clever, endlessly quotable parody that's an easy recommendation for fans of Robin Hood or Mel Brooks.

See more Melissa M @Lisey Apr 12 Still waiting for Men in tights to musical. That would be awesome. Mel Brooks is one of the funniest directors, producers, and writers of all time. There Have been a lot of parodies of Robin Hood. However Men in tights is definitely one of the best. Cary Elwes is the perfect Robin Hood. Because unlike other Robin hoods he can speak with an English accent. When Robin Hood and his merry men sing the Men in tights song it's LOL. Most people probably don't know that Mel Brooks writes a lot of the songs for his movies. It's a shame that Mel Brooks doesn't make more movies. He's definitely one of the Kings of parodies. And it's good to be the king. See more Roberto N. @Hover Feb 15 Once again, we’re laced with a certain brand of humor. It’s a little absurd, it’s a little out there. In a way it’s like an American version of Monty Python. If you don’t like things that you can’t understand, and therefore are funny, it may not be for you. But for me, most of the jokes are straight up normal jokes, don’t require a whole lot of thought. It is certainly absurd. But it’s quite watchable, simply because Carey Elwes is so good at everything he does, and he plays this role just beautifully. See more Read all reviews
