Not all the gags work, but it's mostly enjoyable with some great, memorable moments (e.g. Marcel Marceau, the newspaper man, etc.). I think part of the problem is that successful silent comedies are at their best when they are very short (e.g. Sherlock Jr.) and the stars are incredible physical talents (Feldman's pretty good, but none are as spot on as Keaton or Chaplin in their prime). It's still very watchable, though, and I give it credit for being creative and different at the time.

More of an idea than a movie, one that never quite lives up to its potential despite a great cast and a few memorable sight gags.

some good gags, not laughable, but entertaining. it's the same old mel brooks, but somehow this one just doesn't cut it. it's sad because mel brooks has done so much great work, i just expected everything he touched to turn to gold.

I have no idea why I rented this.

Alright. Just that, alright.

Some clever moments, some stupid ones

This film is bad, i mean REALLY bad. That's no surprise, knowing that it's Mel Broooks film. He made a couple of decent films, but most of them are plain stupid. This one is not even coherent.

Cute, light-hearted fun. Some jokes work, some don't. Overall enjoyable and memorable, although it's certainly no Blazing Saddles. Tons of great cameos.

i thought this was funny and witty, a great tribute to the silent film era.

I ranked this movie much higher than it probably deserves, but I'm a huge Mel Brooks fan (at least until the 90's).

Hmmm, where Mel started to get bad...

Sjov, men tręttende...
