If the situation is to be saved, you'll have a long march across America to intercept the disastrous tape before it falls into your sweetheart's hands.

Mel Brooks is the well-known master of parody, so the film of this famous director is desperately hilarious. Now his aim is to interpretate the legend of Robin Hood in the funniest way: jokes, pranks and different allusions to the various films and stories adjoin many foolishness and follies. Without regales and, sometimes, without trouses, "men in tights" try to win over the heart (and not the only heart) of the beautiful Maid Marion. |
