Synopsis

The standard story of Robin Hood: Evil Prince John is oppressing the people while good King Richard is away on the Crusades. Robin steals from the tax collectors, wins an archery contest, defeats the Sheriff, and rescues Maid Marian. In this version, however, Mel Brooks adds his own personal touch, parodying traditional adventure films, romance films, and the whole idea of men running around the woods in tights.

Critics' reviews

"Sadly, this will not go down as one of Brooks' classics (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

Angie Errigo: Empire
"Brooks has made a movie that's completely free and spontaneous, which at the same time is not in any way lazy or sloppy."

Mick LaSalle: SFgate
"An impressive cast - Stewart, Hayes, Ullman - cannot unfortunately save the day."

Time Out
"A return to the wild, anarchic scatological comedies that made Mel Brooks a marquee name around the world. It is a film for his diehard fans and for a new generation who only know Mad Mel from legend."

Peter Rainer: Los Angeles Times
"Although sporadically funny and not quite the disaster it was initially made out to be, this Robin Hood robs gags from other films while giving the poor viewer far too few laughs"

TV Guide
"A predictable onslaught of bad taste and worse jokes"

Rita Kempley: The Washington Post
"It further confirms that Mel Brooks has lost something off his fastball since Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein"

Jay Carr: Boston Globe
