I love that everybody are called Johnson, but then we are quickly off to the next joke. I thought I would love this but I could not get into it.<br /> TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-88332194786917668492021-10-09T00:41:06.206+03:002021-10-09T00:41:06.206+03:00I would not go so far as to say I hate or even dis...I would not go so far as to say I hate or even dislike Brooks' movies. The Producers was okay and I did like Young Frankenstein, but this one just was not funny. I am not offended by it, I can see the jokes for what they are. I just think Mel Brooks did not know how tro restrain himself, but went with the mantra more is better. In this case he went way to far and aimed way too low.

I enjoy a lot of it, but it does lose control in the third act.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-13811834634852383852021-10-08T06:16:03.482+03:002021-10-08T06:16:03.482+03:00Woo, someone else that actually disliked this one....Woo, someone else that actually disliked this one. I had a discussion with friends a while back and Mel Brooks movies were brought up, and I mentioned that I hated almost every one I'd seen, including this one, and I then felt like I basically had to defend myself for the next few minutes. Young Frankenstein has its moments (though admittedly not many for me), and The Producers was a lot more honed, but this one was just... crass. And pandering. And the jokes have not aged well at all to boot.Adolytsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266038228108057617noreply@blogger.com
