Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

byson5186 To start off, I remember back in the Summer of 1993 when I was a kid. I was in the kitchen with my sister, I was probably home alone with her. She had the T.V. on, and since this was a new movie at the time, she was watching like a documentary or something on T.V. advertising this movie. I remember around the same time when I was also alone with her in the kitchen, and we were watching another documentary advertising a movie that came out around the same time, Dennis The Menace. I don't remember this Robin Hood Men In Tights Documentary I saw with my sister that well. I do remember how the documentary showed a memorable comedic scene from the movie, where Robin Hood knocks all those knights/suits of armor down domino style. Anyway, I didn't see the movie back then and I wouldn't look into it until over 20-years later. So far, I've seen it twice this year. This movie isn't talked about that much, and I wouldn't really think about it, until that time of seeing the documentary on T.V. with my sister somehow came back to me, and also that scene where he knocks the knights down domino style. I decided to look into it, and have seen it twice on T.V.Again, this movie doesn't seem like it's a movie talked about so much. I don't remember anybody talking about it or seeing friends watching it, as I wouldn't really think about the movie for 20+years later. I told my sister, the same sister I watched the documentary with about seeing this movie, and she remembers how she saw the movie a really long time ago. Also, how this movie stars Cary Elwes I'd see my college friends watching probably the movie we are most familiar with him in, The Princess Bride.About Cary Elwes, he is a great and likable character in this movie playing Robin Hood. The only other movie I can think of that I've seen him in, is Twister. I'm sure I've seen him in other movies, I saw Liar Liar a long time ago, but don't remember him in it. Seeing how comedic he is in this movie, and a character we'd like from Princess Bride, along with a hero in both movies, I feel bad that Twister turned him into a character we weren't supposed to like. He seems like he's too nice of a person to fall under that category.Now about watching a Robin Hood movie, you might ask is this supposed to be an action movie featuring Robin Hood, an educational movie about who he was, or in less likelihood, a Comedy? You could probably guess with the title of the movie, Men In Tights, it's a comedy. The whole movie is comedic from start to finish.What really makes this movie funny, this movie is supposed to take place in the 12th Century. However, they intentionally have so many modern day references throughout the movie. It seems to make a movie more entertaining if they take place in the older days, but include modern references where you see people in ancient clothing and ancient backgrounds doing things like rapping as we see in this movie. The modern day references in this movie were very well done, enough for me to not believe this movie is over 20-years old. It doesn't feel that old with all the humor and modern references that clearly work for today, over 20-years later. It also is a pretty happy movie, it will keep you laughing, but also make you feel good. The humor in this movie also seems like humor we get in Austin Powers movies, only the difference this time is the hero is Robin Hood.So, I have to say it took me 2 decades to check this movie out. If you haven't seen it, I'd strongly recommend you see it. You'll get good laughs from this movie, and it will probably leave you feeling happy inside. I'm sure you'd also think this movie doesn't seem so old with all the modern references that clearly work for today. This movie isn't my favorite movie, but it's a good underrated comedy, that ought to be better known.

SnoopyStyle Robin of Loxley (Cary Elwes) is imprisoned during the Crusades. He escapes with the help of Asneeze (Isaac Hayes). Returning to England, Robin rescues Ahchoo (Dave Chappelle), the son of Asneeze. Prince John (Richard Lewis) is in control with Richard fighting in the Crusades and he's taking LoxleyHall literally. Prince John has a witch named Latrine (Tracey Ullman). Robin's blind family servant Blinkin (Mark Blankfield) tells him that his family are all dead. Little John (Eric Allan Kramer), Will Scarlet O'Hara (Matthew Porretta) and Rabbi Tuckman (Mel Brooks) join him to battle Sheriff of Rottingham (Roger Rees). He falls for Maid Marian (Amy Yasbeck).This is a Mel Brooks spoof. His brand of humor has grown a bit old. There are simply not enough funny jokes. Dave Chappelle is a great find and he has a few good laughs. He has the majority and the biggest laughs. On the other hand, Amy Yasbeck has no laughs at all. Maid Marian may be funnier as an idiot. Cary Elwes is game and has good timing. The silly names seem to be half of the comedy. It's a mix bag with some good light silliness.

Evan Wessman (CinematicInceptions) As with most comedies, whether you enjoy Men in Tights is a matter of taste. People get a sore throat and an abdominal workout from some comedies, often without knowing what it is about themselves that makes the movie appeal to them. Other times the same people will watch another comedy and think, "How the heck is this supposed to be even remotely funny?" Your sense of humor just something that's wired into you and nobody can control it. That said, if you aren't a fan of Mel Brooks humor. find something else to watch. This isn't a comedy that has other elements in it like the Ocean's Trilogy or many Robin Williams movies. Nothing in this movie is done for any reason apart from getting laughs out of the audience, so if it doesn't tickle your funnybone, Men in Tights will just be a waste of hundred minutes. The rating certification for this movie is listed as "Off color humor", and there is certainly a fair amount of that. I found that this was the main detracting area of the movie. Call me whatever derogatory name you want for it, but the sexual humor just didn't really sit well with me. Despite that, there is still enough cleaner humor to make it enjoyable for (insert plural form of derogatory name mentioned above here). It references the original Prince of Thieves, among other things, to an extent, but not so much that those who haven't seen the original Kevin Costner film won't enjoy it. The references that are made are pretty good though (e.g. Unlike some Robin Hood's, I *can* speak in a British accent). Some of the lines are just ridiculous like Asneeze's "On the count of kick" line. Other jokes have a witty Monty Python feel to them. The lines feel well placed and well worded for the most part, which is the only area where execution comes into play in this sort of comedy apart from the acting, which is fine. Otherwise, as long as it makes you laugh, the execution isn't a problem. After all, comedies are supposed to be enjoyed, not debated. Nobody writes essays about dynamic characters from comedies. There certainly aren't any of these in this movie, though each main role is well established. Robin Hood is an overly gallant and dashing soldier that exits all of his encounters on top, usually after humiliating the Sheriff of Rottingham. The Sheriff is a cocky, though blundering character that is very good at making a fool of himself, though somehow retaining an air of superiority. His sidekick of sorts, and my personal favorite is Prince John. His lines are excellent and the mole that teleports from one spot on his face to another in each scene is pretty funny. Maid Marion is a tragic red-head that has a few good lines namely "'Twould be . . . "Tweriffic". The other main roles lie with the Merry Men. First to be recruited is Achoo son of Asneeze. He brings a modern touch to the Middle Ages setting and he also has some pretty good lines, many of them emphasizing his being a black guy in the middle of England. The next recruit is Blinkin (Did you just say Abe Linclon?), the blind man. He is somewhat of a klutz, being blind, but that does not detract from his verbal humor. Finally, Little John and Will Scarlett join the ranks. Little John sort of leads the Merry Men and is made to be kind of an all brawn and no brains sort of character, exemplified by his introduction at the "river". Will Scarlett is not really developed, but does have a few scattered one-liners. To conclude, Men in Tights is a very slapstick comedy that, while hitting many areas of comedy, may not be well accepted in any given group. The movie is extremely quotable, which can be a bad sign to anyone who knows someone who really likes it. So in a nutshell, its worth a rent, but if you question whether you're going to like it after about twenty minutes, it may not be a good idea to continue. Overall Rating: 8.2/10.
