This is a very funny take on the Robin Hood story.
Cary Elwes is great fun to watch and is charmingly brilliant as the perfectly English Robin Hood!
My favourite character is the kinda bored and sarcastic Prince John; wonderfully played by Richard Lewis and Tracey Ullman is brilliantly dramatic as the witch Latrine.
Mel Brooks adds some great Jewish humour to the movie and it remains funny, no matter how much time goes by!
The stand out moment is of course the Men In Tights song!
Excellent medieval fun that doesn't take itself seriously at all!
