Review of High Anxiety (1977) by Richard C — 08 Oct 2012
Mel Brooks's parody of the films of Hitchcock may be overtly ridiculous, but what is there to expect from a Mel Brooks film? Hysterically funny on occasion and a genuinely feelgood film, this is yet another example of a film that might just define Mel Brooks as the master of parody in much the same way hitchcock was to suspense.
The jokes come thick and fast and while not Oscar-worthy, it is still a very fun watch that illustrates the belief that some films, though not designed to be like an Oscar candidate, nevertheless provide an enjoyable viewing for the viewer.
A great comedy that you cannot resist watching again.
