Kate S. Still hilarious all these years later. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/25 Full Review TheMovieSearch R Robin Hood: Men in Tights is a delightfully silly and irreverent take on the classic Robin Hood legend. As a spoof, it doesn’t aim for seriousness—it aims for laughs, and it succeeds brilliantly. The film leans fully into its goofy humor, playful absurdity, and self-aware comedy, making it an entertaining watch from start to finish. It’s a perfect example of how a beloved story can be twisted into something completely fun while still retaining the spirit of the original tale. The screenplay is surprisingly sharp, full of witty gags, clever wordplay, and humorous meta-commentary that elevates the film above just mindless silliness. While critics may have dismissed it at the time, the creativity and inventiveness behind the writing make it a standout parody. There’s a sense that the filmmakers were having fun, and that energy is infectious, drawing the audience into the chaotic, delightful world of misfit heroes. The characters are wonderfully cast and executed. Robin Hood himself isn’t just a comedic figure—he’s charismatic, charming, and well-rounded within the context of the spoof. The ensemble cast works beautifully as a team, creating a sense of camaraderie that balances the outrageous jokes and slapstick humor. Each member feels like a real part of this band of misfits, adding heart to the comedy. Director Mel Brooks does an excellent job of capturing the story’s humor and lightheartedness while keeping the pacing tight and the tone consistently playful. He allows the film to be silly without letting it become chaotic or unwatchable, balancing parody with genuine affection for the legend of Robin Hood. His direction ensures that even the most delusional comedic moments feel like part of the fun rather than a mess. Ultimately, Robin Hood: Men in Tights is an absolute joy for anyone who enjoys a clever, goofy parody. It’s full of laughter, creativity, and a sense of fun that’s rare in modern spoofs. The film proves that humor doesn’t have to be mean-spirited to be effective—it just has to be inventive and full of heart. For anyone looking for a lighthearted, hilarious take on the Robin Hood story, this film is an absolute must-watch. It’s charming, playful, and endlessly entertaining—a perfect example of how to spoof a classic tale while keeping it genuinely enjoyable.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/25 Full Review Jonathan B ONE OF THE BEST AND FUNNIEST MOVIES I'VE EVER WATCHED!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/25 Full Review Dan J A fun watch. Many good jokes and some awesome slapstick moments. The middle part is a bit slower, otherwise it's a fun ride. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/25 Full Review Ella M All of you haters have no idea how ingenious this comic parody is, and what a joy it is to share in the fun the actors and crew and especially Mel Brooks are having on set. It never ceases to deliver laughs and smiles and connection for me with my childhood - where I first learned that humor was the most effective way for flowing through the painful and ridiculous parts of life. Also Kevin Costner is walking talking absurdist theater and he refuses to see it. Somebody had to stick it to him … with love!
