Summary: The most hilarious movie I've seen!!!
Review: The first time I saw this was at a cast party in high school. It was about 2:00 AM so I thought that maybe I was so giddy that everything was funny, so I rented it. I laughed just as hard(maybe harder)than when I first saw it!! I now own it and I love the "Springtime for Hitler" montage(sp). I think that the German writer with the pigeons is one of the funniest ones on there!!!I'd give it 6 stars if I could!!

Summary: Mel Brooks Best!
Review: WOW!!! What a movie. I think it was one of Mel Broks best movies. Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel are especially hilarious. For example, Wilder : Let's assume that you ar a dishonest man. Mostel : Assume away. Lines like that is what makes this movie funny. Even their expressions and their movements are funny. i gine this movie 5 stars. Now that Mel Brooks is making a musical I'm nervous that it's not going to be as good but we shall see

Summary: Zero, Gene and Dick are Crazy
Review: Zero Mostel sells 25,000 per cent of a play. If he produces a flop he won't have to pay the backers anything. Not bad! Accountant Gene Wilder helps him with his foolproof crazy scheme. Of course the play has to fail. Thanks to burned out flower child Dick Shawn's performance as its star things take a different turn. This is a film that grows better with repeated viewing. It just shows how things snowball for the worst. Yet, in the end you can't beat down the human spirit for trying. The late and great Dick Shawn is a real standout akin to the role he played in "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World." This was Mel Brooks's first film as director. Mel Brooks was a former stand-up comic who took over-the-top ethnically based vaudevillian routines, which in some hands went beyond the limits of good taste, and transcended them into glossy cinematic tales with much broader appeal. In doing so some say that he compromised the loftier yet prurient nature and ultimate message that was the bedrock of his work, exchanging laughs for substance. I don't think that was the case here.

Summary: Positively the funniest movie EVER!
Review: Mel Brooks won an Academy Award for his screenplay of THE PRODUCERS, and with due cause. This hilarious romp through the world of Broadway producers stars Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder in an Oscar-nominated performance and is non-stop funny! Max Bialystock is a has-been Broadway producer who has been reduced to swooning little old ladies for cash. Leo Bloom, an honest accountant(Wilder) comes in to help Mr. Bialystock with his producing bills, and makes the comment that under the right circumstances, a producer could make more money with a flop than he would with a hit. So begins the unbelievably hysterical journey of Bialystock and Bloom in search of the worst play in the world. They discover a play called "Springtime for Hitler" and proceed to get the worst director, the worst playwright, and the worst actor to play Hitler, and produce the play on Broadway. There is only one small problem, the play is a HIT! People think that it is a hilarious comedy, and they clamour to see it. This great film is chock-full of laughs, and great performances. Zero Mostel plays a fantastically unscrupulous producer and astounds as Max Bialystock. Gene Wilder is a comic genius as Leo Bloom, and he is wonderful. Kenneth Mars pulls off quite possibly one of the funniest characters ever as the ex-Nazi, Hitler-loving playwright, and Dick Shawn gives a finely-tuned performance as a psychedelic hippie actor playing Hitler. I have not laughed more at any other movie. This is definitely the funniest movie ever. Go out and see it right now!

Summary: Don't be stupid be a smarty, Come and watch this movie!
Review: Yeah yeah, I know the above title doesn't rhyme. Does it really matter in the long run. I don't think so. Go deeper. I first saw this movie and didn't think it was all that funny. On second viewing, I laughed hysterically. I don't know how that worked, but it did, so if you see this movie, see it twice. I loved the "Springtime for Hitler" sequences, and can fully understand why a real production was made out of it. That would be pretty funny to see. If you've seen it, write your review of that play along with your review of THIS movie, too! (For fun!)

Summary: DVD at last!
Review: Do you need a review that proclaims this the funniest movie ever made?--it almost certainly is. Just read Peter Seller's comments quoted on the cover of the soundtrack album: "Last night I saw the ultimate film...the essence of all great comedy combined in a single motion picture. ...Brooks displays true genius in weaving together tragedy-comedy, comedy-tragedy, pity, fear, hysteria, schizophrenia, inspired madness and a largess (sic) of lunacy with sheer magic. The casting was perfect. Those of us who have seen the film and understand it have experienced a phenomenon which occurs onlyonce in a life span." We should celebrate after the long wait for this classic to be released on DVD. Not just because it's the modern thing to do, but because the extras which DVD's contain (cast and director interviews, dropped scenes, even the trailer) are invaluable to film students and fascinating to fans. It's THE classic comedy of the American cinema. Mel, what took you so long?

Summary: Possibly Best Comedy Ever
Review: "The Producers" is arguably the best comedy movie ever made, very possibly because it could not be made in today's politically correct environment. Some would say that "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein" are superior, but they were both watered down and made more pallatable in an effort to reach a broader audience. The racial humor of "Blazing Saddles" is tame compared to the go-for-the-juggler freedoms Mel Brooks took with "The Producers". There's no special effects, no expensive sets, no profanity, only the best writing and pacing possible. After 10 or so viewings, I still find new gags, mannerisms, and nuaunces that cause belly laughs. My favorite scene is watching the series of facial expressions that Zero Mostell goes through waiting for the appartment door to be unlocked and opened by a would-be lady underwriter of his play. You can spend an entire viewing of this movie just studying Zero's performance - total absurdity as a "cultured" sleez-bag. Being a completely over the top farce, "The Producers" has a very special "feel" to it that earned it a large cult following in the early 70's on college campuses. Now it's widely treasured by die hard fans. If you watch it for the first time and don't like it, don't be surprised. Lot's of people don't "get it" the first time, because there's nothing like it being made today. Try it again, and I guarantee you'll be hooked. After the 4th viewing, you'll be quoteing the movie similar to the way people speak Caddyshack. Would somebody PLEASE make "The Producers" available on DVD before all the principles die, and include all the extra stuff we've come to expect in DVD's?

Summary: IT GROWS ON YOU!
Review: When I first watched this movie a couple years ago, I HATED IT! But then a couple of friends and me at my school wanted to do a spoof on Black History Month, so we started German History Month- which is during the month of March- and I told my friends about "SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER" and they started cracking up! So I went with my sister down to the library, and we checked it out and watched it again, and we were rolling on the floor laughing! I even downloaded "Springtime For Hitler" from Napster! This movie is so funny! The characters are a riot! It's like the biggest inside joke now for us, and it's just hilarious! This is Mel Brooks' BEST MOVIE! If anyone is the mood for a laugh, get this movie- it's a crack up, and it might not seem funny at first, but trust me- it grows on you!
