Review of The Producers (2005) by Jliddy — 07 Jun 2006
This movie disapoints. I wonder if those reviewers who rated this movie highly ever saw the original whick was truely a scream and should be seen so as to put this remake in context. The role of "LSD" as played by Dick Shawn was incredibly funny but was written out of the remake.
Will Ferrel could have been a great "LSD". Yet the originally small role of the swedish secretary was expanded, unecesary, and boring. Nathan Lane is Talented but Zero Mostel was a genius who's portrayal of Max reached into the audience's head whith madcap angst.
I never fully apeciated his talent until now. Rent this movie, but buy the original and enjoy it for years to come.
