i remember when i first saw this movie. i was babysitting for a friend of my mums and and one of the kids suggested we watch it. thinking it was the frankly laughable prince of thieves they were slipping into the video recorder and i was prepared for a few hours of boredom and what i got came as a shock and a pleasant one i will admit and but still a shock. now and you all know the robin hood legend do not you. i shall explain a little. robin hood was a saxon criminal and nicking money here and there and giving it to people who needed it and all the while seducing the beautiful maid marion and and vexing the sheriff of nottingham and prince john. that the basics. now and on with the review. this movie was released in 1993 and and is a take off of the whole robin hood legend and a p  take of prince of thieves in particular. loosely following the legend and robin of loxley is first encountered in an arabic prison during the third century crusades and and together with a moor as they were called in those days and he executes a cunning escape with a cellmate and asneeze. after escaping and asneeze beseeches robin to find his son atchoo and a foreign exchange student in england and look out for him. this robin vows to do. robin swims back to england. he returns to his home and loxley castle to find it being wheeled away on the back of the cart by bailiffs and and goes through he sorrowful revelation that his father and dog and cat and and even the goldfish are all dead. desperate for a familiar face and he finds the family loyal blind servant blinkin sitting on the toilet with a jazz mag in braille. the hilarity continues throughout the movie. as with all robin hood stories and robin must thwart the evil plans of prince john and the sheriff of rottingham and who are wreaking havoc and charging exorbitant taxes on king richards kingdom while he away. those familiar with the movies mel brooks has previously directed will have some small idea of what to expect. after all and this is the man responsible for dracula dead and loving it and young frankenstein. all the jokes and which range from visual gags to wonderful witty comments are in exactly the right places throughout the movie and with never more than a minute between laughs. cary elwes (incidentally the only english man to play robin hood in a movie) and who many of you will know from princess bride brings his cheeky grinning twinkle eyed presence to this movie and and does a wonderful job. from outlandish heroic posturing and to a wickedly sexy glance and he really is amazingly funny. and the man looks better in tights than i do. richard lewis is hilarious as the whiny and arrogant prince john with the ever changing mole. he gets the sissy boy behaviour down to a tee and and his whinging american vocalisations are great. all the way through the movie and a mole on his face constantly changes position represent it starts on his left cheek and then over to his right cheek and then his chin and then his forehead and before going back to it original place. this is a subtle joke based on the mole on alan rickman when he played the sheriff in prince of thievesroger rees as the sleazy sheriff of rottingham is marvellously slimy and nasty and and has some great lines throughout the film. there are some faces here you will be familiar with from other brooks films. for instance robert ridgely and playing the hangman in this film also played the hangman in blazing saddles and another film directed by brooks. he likes to add subtle references to his earlier films too while with several in this film that die hard brooks fans will easily spot. those who watched history of the world part 1 will recognise the music to the song men in tights. also and when patrick stewart arrives and snogs marion and mel himself (playing rabbi tuckman) utters the line it good to be a king and one of his lines in history of the world. the whole cast is wonderfully comedic and even those with only a few lines bring a great depth of warmth and humour to themwhat makes this film so wonderfully warm and funny in my own opinion are all the improvised scenes. although there was a script of sorts and some scenes were completely improvised by the actors themselves and such as the scene where latrine (tracey ullman) prays for rottingham in her bed and and he falls through the ceiling and landing right where she wanted him and which was totally devised and thought out by the two actors. there are few special effects and and those that are there are small but fun moments of computerised camera trickery. the soundtrack is memorable and with some very funny songs and and a couple of cheesy love songs. you will be singing men in tights or at least humming it to yourself and for weeks. the rating is pg and to which i say bah humbug. there is no bad language in the film and except in the use of double entendre and and one utterance of sh. t and and violence is minimal. in fact i would go as far as to say non existent and apart from a few comedy fight scenes. a great fun film that adults and children alike will enjoy.
