When I ask myself why I like so few Mel Brooks movies, I think the answer has to do with character investment. Even in a parody movie, I still need it. There just isn’t much to latch onto here. Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride) makes a good-looking Robin Hood, but the character doesn’t really come to life at all. I sorta chuckled once or twice, but I could probably count the memorable jokes on one hand. Dave Chappelle and Tracey Ullman are choked by the material, but Dom DeLuise is mildly amusing in a cameo appearance.
