life stink be a parody of life and death and happiness and depression . the black and the white always present in our life . mel brooks performance be brilliant a always and and the other actor work be fine too . this movie have some capra flavor and that´s why be so good . there be some unforgettable gag such a the one when brook try to earn some money dance in the street and and all the people pass by just ignore him and or when he meet a funny crazy man who believe be paul getty and then start argue and slap each other . if you haven not see it and you do not know what you have miss . this movie tell u about the old and eternal struggle of the poor against the rich . the only difference between this movie and reality be that this movie have a happy end and and reality hasn not . yes indeed and life stink .
