“To Be or Not To Be” is an amazing movie and it really is one of my favorites. However, another one of my favorite movies just so happens to be a Mel Brooks movie as well. “Robin Hood: Men in Tights” is my second favorite Mel Brooks flick. It has a special type of humor that is really hard to write out. It’s just naturally funny.
Yesterday, my mom, Kristen, Katrina’s friend, Maria, and I met to discuss Katrina’s wedding shower. Before this, Kristen’s daughter, Marie, was watching TV and asked if I wanted to watch a movie with her. So, I suggested that we see what’s playing on OnDemand.
We found a few good movies, but I suggested we watch “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”. As we were watching, she noticed a few things: Little John was played by the dad from “Good Luck, Charlie” (Eric Allan Kramer), The dad from “Wizards of Waverly Place” was a villager (David DeLuise), and, as she put it, “Isn’t that the guy from that one movie about the princess who becomes a bride… or something like that?” (The Princess Bride). She made me laugh with that last one. She was shocked when I told her that David DeLuise’s dad, Dom DeLuise, was in the movie also (He played Don Giovanni).
“Robin Hood: Men in Tights” is hilarious version of all the Robin Hood movies out there, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have the same storyline. Robin Hood (Cary Elwes) must defeat Prince John (Richard Lewis) and the vile Sheriff of Rottingham (Roder Rees) to free the kingdom from the high taxes.
Marie loved watching it, and was happy to know that she was right about the actors she named. Soon after we finished the movie, the bridal meeting started and I was glad to have had some fun with Marie. We usually don’t get along so well.
“Robin Hood: Men in Tights” is rated ‘PG-13’ for some mild swearing. In other words, they don’t drop ‘F-bombs’. Enjoy this movie and have a wonderfully funny day!
