| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Robin Hood Men In Tights |
|---|
Robin Hood lives in Sherwood forest and leads his men, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. He falls for Maid Marian and they live happily ever after!
--Robin Hood, Resident Scholar
|
This is a hilarious parody of the classic Robin Hood story. Elwes is perfect as Robin (and not just because he can speak with an English accent). Watch this for the silly songs, crazy antics and men in tights!

A brilliant parody of the classic story, this movie provides many hilarious moments in Robin of Locksley's struggle to regain his family home, and win Maid Marian. In this quest, he fights the machinations of Prince John *he of the mobile mole*, and his henchman, the Sheriff of Rottingham.

Mel Brooks has done it again!!! A great comedy about my old time favourit story; Robin Hood... But a lot more funny!!! I don't think a summary is necessary, but I will encourage you all to see this, in oh so many ways, very funny movie!
