This is the most overrated movie I have ever seen. The initial scene to "Springtime for Hitler" and a few other tidbits were the only laughs. This movie definitely does not live up to the hype.

Brooks' second best film! It is so funny! Springtime for Hitler is a classic! Dick Shawn nearly steals the show as L.S.D. Wilder gives a career best performance.

Well worth revisiting for so many reasons. There's the pitch-perfect delivery of the cast, the still-ticklish script, and both "Love Power" AND "Springtime for Hitler." It's also, in the end, rather sweet. Not even Brooks can make 'em like this anymore.

If not the funniest movie in the world, it has got to be tied for 1st place. Mel's script is most irreverent and Wilder and Mostel are pure magic and show their genius in the delivery.

Not quite Mel's best (that would be Blazing Saddles.) The musical though is absolutely his best work.

Mel Brooks is brilliant. Hilarious and clever, this film was 88 minutes of laughter and whimsical pleasure.

Funny the first time I viewed it, funnier yet the third and fourth times! Gets better every viewing!!!!

This movie does live up to the hype. If you don't even crack a smile at some of the jokes, you're mineral, dead, or manically depressed. One of the greatest movies. EVER.

Very Funny.

One of the funniest movies ever made. Mostel and Wilder are national treasures.

This is most certainly a classic comedy from Mel Brooks. It's different than many of Brooks' later films since he doesn't "hit you over the head" with the jokes, but allows some shards of subtlety to creep into the dialogue. After seeing the Broadway show and the subsequent movie musical, parts may seem a bit slow or toned down, but if you step back and watch it as a stand-alone film, you can see the absurdity (and genius) of the plotline. Zero Mostel is brilliant as the original Max Bialystock; over-the-top at times and terrifically understated at others. Gene Wilder certainly is the best Leo Bloom in my opinion, better than any on the stage or Matthew Broderick on the screen. This film is, simply put, hilarious and brilliant.… Expand

I love Mel. I liked this movie, but these guys chew some serious scenery! I had to speak up for those of us that weren't blown away. I want to see the musical on Broadway, though!

A crazy idea of a movie directed without the requisite eccentricity to really pay off. While the actors tumble about in inspired lunacy Brook's direction is only customary and mechanical. But, with Mostel, Wilder, and other players unleashing an orgy of absurdity, perhaps the director's role is irrelevant except in a supervisory capacity.

It is the best movie ever made. Zero Mostel is at his best.

The blonde chick rules.
