Mel Brooks & The Producers
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
As much as I LOVED the MUSICAL PLAY ON STAGE, which was probably one of the BEST I've seen in Many Years - this Video does not serve the Musical Play very well. Everything is there, but it doesn't have that SPARK it did on Stage.
Mel Brooks did an outstanding job of re-creating his Original Movie for the STAGE and it was a MONSTROUS HIT. I'm sure he's not thrilled with the results of this NEW MOVIE. The Jokes, the Songs, the Characters all really there, but it does not come across like it did in the VERY FIRST MOVIE with Zero Mostel & Gene Wilder - much of course has been added but it didn't bring me to my feet shouting full of joy and laughter. In fact it is not as FUNNY as it was on the STAGE, or maybe being translated to Film somehow changed its form. Thank You. -rostuff
