Description:
Cary Elwes stars as Robin Hood, the dashing defender of the down-trodden, who along with his merry men and Maid Marion, resides in Sherwood Forest. There they have become together to fight against the seriously neurotic Prince John, the not quite-evil Sheriff of Rottingham, and the mad scorceress Latrine.
Amazon.com essential video:
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

This is a good, but not great, comedy from Mel Brooks. Some of the pop culture references hit the mark, but some corny one-liners ruin moments. Visual gags are pointed out way too long, but the ation sequences are well-developed. Big pluses must go to the actors. Elwes, Yasbeck, Chappelle, Rees, DeLuise, and many others light up the screen. And a small role given to Brooks himself is also a treat. So watch this if you want good, (sometimes) clean, and wild fun.

I know i will catch some criticism for this review, but o well. the movie is funny, but utilizes many cheap jokes, which i find takes from the actual comedy. another one of the few faults i've seen with mel brooks is that some his jokes can be seen a mile away. almost as if he's trying to force comedy instead of letting it flow.
robin hood is very hansom, and is probably one of the funniest in the cast, while chappelle (achoo) is funny as well. the rest are mildly amusing.

A film like `Robin Hood - Men in Tights' is really nothing more than good clean fun, in the lines of Mel Brooks other spoof films. It's more successful than some (yes, I didn't like `Blazing Saddles') and less successful than others (it's no `Young Frankenstein'). The film pokes fun at, none other than, Robin Hood, and in particular at the 1991 Costner vehicle `Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves'.
The film is littered with comedic talent and jabs at movie after movie, but it never feels ... Read More

...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 ... Read More
