very funny
14 April 2009
This film is very funny. I don't have a problem with a parody of the Robin Hood legend, and I can't imagine a better way to do it then to make fun of the "Prince of thieves", for it was released only two years before "men in tights" and therefore still stuck in everyone's memory. Some of the greatest scenes are when Robin tries to deliver a touching speech but no one really listens. I often feel that heroes in movies act very lofty, and it's nice that this has no effect for once. There are some pretty flat jokes in this film, too. But I admire the way this film manages to parody the "prince of thieves" so to the point and still be full of new ideas. If you are looking for a movie to watch when you are in a bad mood and don't want to think to much, this is your film! I've seen it about five times and I still laugh almost without a break.
