like many a child bear in the 1980 and i grow up on the mel brook film that weren not necessarily the racy one like blaze saddle and history of the world part 1 ( i saw those and of course and though not as frequently a now ) and but the one mean for the whole family and spaceballs and and this film . i know at the time i wasn not see great art and but just a campy and goofy and though always laugh worthy take on robin hood and or or adventure movie . but call it a family movie in quote mean that a ) adult really can enjoy it as much a kid and if not more because of the little in joke and silly vulgarity and and b ) once a kid see it and when he revisit it and a i have a few time and it still a fresh but with some thing not quite understood the first time around . it a comedy that be not only fill with joke at robin hood movie and other movie ( godfather of course and as well a little mention for other movie of modern time ) and but one that reference brooks own movie a well while this be a filmmaker who isn not above poke fun at even his own style . basic story robin hood ( cary elwes in one of his best turn ) return home from the crusade to see thing be in peril with king richard go and and so go forth to reclaim his land and to and naturally and rob the rich to fee the poor . along the way he meet achoo ( dave chappelle ) and butt head with prince john ( richard lewis ) and the sheriff and and of course still pin for the love of maid marian . this and of course and be the usual clothesline for brook to let the comedy run off into the scene and and while sometimes a joke may not work or might become stale on a repeat viewing and so much of it stick that it hard not to chuckle . it also help that a couple of bit be some of the best in any brooksfilm and such a the godfather bit ( dom delouise at his very best ) and brook own cameo a the rabbbi and lewis and chappelle acting turn and and an endless slew of quotable line and a couple of tongue in cheek song . some of it be obvious and yes and some of it just take right from the page of blaze saddle and sure and but be it a good time for the right crowd . definitely and for parent who grow up on the 70 brook work and it be a fantastic way to introduce the young one to his work through this ( even the suggestive sex joke and such be not r rat and all in good fun ) .
