Critic Reviews

100	Boston Globe The one aspect of the original Producers that still stuns is the roaring, over-the-top, in-your-face thereness of its two lead performances.
100	New Times (L.A.) Maniacally funny. It remains neck and neck with "Young Frankenstein" as Brooks' best film.
100	Chicago Sun-Times This is one of the funniest movies ever made. To see it now is to understand that. To see it for the first time in 1968, when I did, was to witness audacity so liberating that not even "There's Something About Mary" rivals it.
90	Village Voice However familiar, it delivers like a shorted slot machine.
80	TV Guide Staff (Not credited) Mel Brooks's first and funniest, a spoof of Broadway theater that has earned a deservedly devoted cult following.
