Dominican Rep. History of the World: Part I
5,690
Comedy
From the dawn of man to the distant future, mankind's evolution (or lack thereof) is traced. Often ridiculous but never serious, we learn the truth behind the Roman Emperor, we learn what REALLY happened at the last supper, the circumstances that surrounded the French Revolution, how to test eunuchs, and what kind of shoes the Spanish Inquisitor wore.

"The movie is so sour that its humor is often undermined, because so many of the jokes are either mean-spirited or scatological, or both." | NEG |

"A rambling, undisciplined, sometimes embarrassing failure from one of the most gifted comic filmmakers around (...) Puntuación: ★★ (sobre 4)" | NEU |

TV Guide | "Despite cameos by many superior comic actors and well-known celebrities, this episodic would-be laughfest comes up wanting as many of Brooks' elaborate gags fall flat" | NEG |
United Kingdom |
Time Out | "It's difficult to dislike Brooks' parody of the historical epic." | POS |
