This is another unneeded remake. The original was better except for Will Farrell, who was great
Unfunny, boring, too long, a bad movie in general. Maybe if the director had a clue or talent it would have turned out better, but neither she nor the stars could turn down the Broadway level of their performances.
WE LAUGHED FROM BEGINNING TO END.
great
Eh, I`m sort of torn on this. I realize this is an adaptation of the Broadway musical (which I haven`t seen) but I couldn`t help but compare it to the original Mel Brooks film, which I prefer much more. While the movie was funny, and casting Ferrell in the Kenneth Mars role was actually pretty ingenius, I just thought the original was funnier, and couldn`t really stand Matthew Broderick in the Leo Bloom role. Gene Wilder was incredible as Bloom in the original, and Broderick just didn`t have the same energy (compare the scenes where Bloom is afraid Max will jump on him and you should see what I mean.) I`ll probably stick with the original
It is not bad. But as all musicals do...it sometimes drags on and on. And near the end Lane sings a whole overview of what I just saw...it`s like "I know what happened...I WAS watching, you know!" But it was funny thanks to some supporting actors (like Will Ferrell - he was probably the best part of the movie). However, I don`t think I want to see this movie again...once is enough. - Lena
The Movie Is Hilarous I coulnd`t stop laughing throughout the entire thing and neither could anyone else in the theatre. I`m a big fan of the original and I think this one out Does it. The Musical numbers were great especially the ones with Will Ferrell. This is a Must SEE
i loved it throughout.
This movie was not only terrible, but terribly aweful. The music was less then enjoyable. I think it would have been a great broadway musical but it didn`t work on screen. Booooourns!
FUNNIEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR! I had tears in my eyes from laughing!! a must see (several times in a row)!!!
