Review of Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) by Ryan K — 10 Nov 2014
Not one of Mel Brooks' memorable entries of the spoof genre but still silly in its own way.
Cary Elwes takes the lead once again like in 'Princess Bride' playing the famous Robin Hood returning from the Crusades in Africa to England only to learn that his home is taken away by Prince John.
He then assembles a comedic team of allies to start a revolt and win the heart of Lady Marion.
Mel Brooks love poking fun at himself and making tons of fourth-wall in-jokes.
They don't always hit a homerun but a good chuckle comes out of what comes along.
The movie meanders just a tad just to be informed but it's fun seeing Brooks play around.
