Review of Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) by Scott S — 25 May 2013

Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) -- [4.0] -- When I ask myself why I like so few Mel Brooks movies, I think the answer has to do with character investment. Even in a parody movie, I still need it. There just isn't much to latch onto here.

Cary Elwes makes a good-looking Robin Hood, but the character doesn't really come to life at all. I sorta chuckled once or twice, but I could probably count the memorable jokes on one hand. Dave Chappelle and Tracey Ullman are choked by the material, but Dom DeLuise is mildly amusing in a cameo appearance.
