robin Hood men in tights
There are songs that you will never get out of your head. Our whole family loves this movies

I Thought This Was the Funniest Thing in the World...
...when I was in junior high. And now? Let's just say that Mel Brooks only hits one out of every 10 gags on the money, and them ain't good odds, folks.

Richard Lewis is a standout, while Cary Elwes and Dave Chapelle bring their unique charms to "Rottingham" Forest. You'll smile a lot, and maybe even laugh a few times. Fans of other Mel Brooks movies may be underwhelmed. Still, if slapstick comedies (such as "Scary Movie" and "Naked Gun") are your thing, this film is worth renting for an evening of good humor.

Wonderful Silliness!
I enjoyed introducing my 12-year-old son to the humor of Mel Brooks with this classic take on Robin Hood. My son can't stop singing the song ("We men/Men in tights! ... ").

A classic comedy.

Mel's Finest
My favorite Mel Brooks movie by a long shot. While almost all of them have moments of genius, and I'm sure people can argue endlessly for their favorite Brooks' movies, this one, for me, is the wittiest, looniest and most entertaining of them all. Unlike most of his movies, for instance, this one has no dead spots. It's laugh after laugh from start to finish. It's chock full of classic lines ("He's a smoothie," for instance by Richard Lewis; "It is good to be the king," by the king himself), classic scenes (Brooks as Rabbi Tuchman and Dom DeLuise impersonating Marlon Brando's godfather that will leave you gagging and gasping from laughing so hard) and visual jokes that go on forever. Plus, you get to see Dave Chapelle rap over the credits. I'll watch any Brooks movie over and over, but this one will get the most time at our house.

Hysterical and instantly enjoyable
Out of all of the Mel Brooks films that I have seen, there hasn't been one that I have enjoyed as much as Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Granted that Brooks has made superior films (Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs come to mind), there is just something about Robin Hood: Men in Tights that makes it instantly enjoyable from beginning to end. Mostly it has to do to the gleeful turns from the cast: Cary Elwes delightful turn as the bow and arrow armed hero, Richard Lewis' take on King John, Roger Rees as the Sheriff of Rottingham, Tracy Ullman as the witch, a young Dave Chappelle; and cameos aplenty from Dom Deluise, Isaac Hayes, and Patrick Stewart (poking fun at Sean Connery's cameo in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves). Though it isn't perfect, Robin hood: Men in Tights is still plenty entertaining and funny, and is also just crying to be re-released as a special edition. All in all, Robin Hood: Men in Tights is still a blast, and it still remains one of Mel Brooks' most enjoyable films.
