Mel Brooks was THE comic master of the 70's

Nearly everything is done in that special Mel Brooks brand of broad comedy that quickly palls for all but the faithful.

Not Brooks' best, but still funny

Far from Brooks' best work, but it's the one that makes me laugh the most.

Mel Brooks has never known when a joke is worthy of a five-minute bit and when it's something you can flesh out into a full length feature.

Silly strained comedy.

Low end of Mel Brooks' films.

While Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein stride across the land with seven-league boots, Silent Movie glides on tip-toe like Bugs Bunny in ballet slippers.

Brooks' tribute to silent cinema has its drawbacks, but his obvious affection for pre-talkies saves the day.

What disconcerts me about Mr Brooks is his obviousness, the lack of any true surprise in his gags.

One of the funniest movies from my childhood.
