A truly underrated gem and one of Mel Brook's best movies, funnier than space balls and most of his other movies. The premise is its a parody of the Kevin Costner Robinhood film but as a stand alone comedy it works just as good if not better. The medieval crossover humor works really well and the actors have great chemistry. Disregard the bad reviews this is a classic.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights. They are real men. Robin Hood: Men in Tights is a parody comedy film created by Mel Brooks that makes fun of the classic versions of the Robin Hood story and popular films about the hero. The film is filled with humor, satire and funny scenes that parody the cliches of the adventure film genre and historical dramas. Brooks masterfully uses comedy techniques, playing with the audience's expectations and creating bright, memorable characters, such as the clumsy Robin or the villain Lord Fox. Visual gags, witty dialogue and unexpected twists make the film light and entertaining. Men in Tights is great for those who love parodies and humor with a satirical tinge. This is a fun and original work that not only makes you smile, but also shows a love for the adventure genre through the prism of humor.

Over-the-top spoof humor as only Mel Brooks can do it. It’s ridiculous and fun.

It didn't aged well. Slow, predictable jokes, irritating songs. It's a "no" for me, sadly. Maybe you can find it funny if you are very young

It's a classic. One of my favorite movies to watch time and time again. Will continue to do so.

podobał mi się ten film.. lubię komedię mela brooksa... uśmiałem się i to już nie jednokrotnie bo film widziałem kilka razy.

Elwes, as always, is a charming lead but the comedy just isn't there. So many jokes fail to land or they are used so much that they just become less and less funny over time. I think the comedy comes off as a bit forced as it seems they never let off the gas pedal once the film starts. It was like every other line was a punchline and it grew stale quickly.

Some of the jokes will stick with you for ages, some of the acting will make you raise your eyebrow, but in overall it is a pleasant and not demanding entertainment. The story covers the adventures of Robin of Loxley, who after returning from the crusade in Jerusalem, finds his family home taken away by the Prince John and his Sheriff on Nottingham because of unpaid taxes, which are unfair to the people. From here he embarks on a journey to throw the wrongful ruler from his throne with help of his new companions, falls in love and uses Maverick arrows, when needed. This movie features a wide cast of colorful characters, which you will still remember after a while, some good lines, some cheesy ones, but what is the most important - it featuers plain and simple fun. It's definetly worth watching at least once, if you're into Mel Brooks/slapstick comedy.
