VHS Tape Description

It's not Blazing Saddles, but there are some chuckles to be found in Mel Brooks's 1993 spoof of the Robin Hood legend. Cary Elwes is Robin (with a lighthearted jab at Kevin Costner's bad English accent in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves), while Richard Lewis plays an angst-ridden King John, and Roger Rees a snotty Sheriff of Nottingham. Comic David Chappelle has some good moments as the only black member of Robins's noble thieves, and Brooks does his own spin on Friar Tuck: Rabbi Tuchman. The song-and-dance sequences featuring a chorus line of the Merry Men ("We're men / men in tights") is vintage Brooks, but otherwise the film can't get any traction. --Tom Keogh

Great Movie

A great and very funny movie with many memorable scenes. No, it's not quite Blazing Saddles, but can still easily hold it's own and is a great addition to any comedic collection.

I cannot understand why this movie has yet to be released on DVD. So many horrible movies have been re-released on DVD, yet this great movie has not.


When, oh when will Fox listen to us?

I cannot believe that Fox has not put this title out on DVD yet. Twelve years is long enough. This is Mel Brooks we're talking about, not just a run-of-the-mill schmuck. There is so much CRAP out on DVD that I wouldn't use for skeet shooting, yet so few of the films that really matter. Fox needs to read the boards and let the numbers of people writing decide it's time for Men In Tights on DVD right here in the US, not just overseas. Man, I just can't stand it anymore!! I'm gonna run amok shaking a stick in Fox's direction, dudes, so get this movie on disc!


Wickedy Funny

I was looking for a movie to watch on a saturday night with a bunch of friends and wanted something funny. Someone suggested "Robin Hood Men in tights". Since Cary Elwes was in it I thought why not give it a go. It was hilarious! Full of provacative humor (Dont watch it with religious folk) Men in tights hits the funny bone with the great many musical numbers and Prince John and his ever moving mole.
