just like all of mel brook other comedy and men in tights be hilarious . but in see this a an outrageous comedy and i think many fail to realize that the reason the movie be so funny be that the character themselves be act so well . elwes be the well spoken former british noble and lewis be an eternally annoyed king ( i hope it worth all the nooooooiiiise . ) and deluise be a fantastic godfather and roger rees be a worried and cynical sheriff . the actor and actress be so loyal to their part that the joke flow forth with ease . yes and we have see this kind of comedy before and but the only comedy to achieve good character development and in my opinion and be the big lebowski . very very funny .
