This classic satire still delivered the laughs. While, not as outrageous as the spoofs of today, it did however contain a reasonable plot. It never appeared as just an excuse to display clever jokes. That said, I doubt if this movie could have stood on it's own without mocking other films. With plenty of humor, there's bound to be something at which everyone would laugh. Conversely, those used to edgier fare will likely be left disappointed.

Bonus material consisted of a good behind-the-scenes featurette and the theatrical trailer. Also found was a commentary track from director Mel Brooks which provided some insight. There were however a few moments where he went silent as he enjoyed his own handiwork.

This movie didn't have me on the ground in fits of laughter, but I did find it satisfactory.


The Movie: 6/10
The Extras: 1/10

Recommendation: Rent This One
