Movie Review - Robin Hood: Men In Tights

Today is "Robin Hood: Men In Tights"

Starring; Cary Elwes, Patrick Stewart, Richard Lewis, Tracy Ullman & Amy Yasbeck.

This one will take you back to the days of yore when England was being overrun by hordes of very impolite British mobs, who grew beards, wore some tights and sang merrily...then Robin Hood comes back, without a beard, wearing sexier tights and singing so gay! Also with an actual English accent. The replacement king (who replaced the king that was indisposed at the time) made sure to have many parties, forest squabbles over land, irritate poor folks, make hunting in the king's forest illegal and consulted a scary-looking witch for advice and breakfast.

Robin Hood gathers his merry men and they band together for training and singing. Practicing their fighting skills, riding horseback with weapons and firing arrows correctly, is just some of the fun they, the survivors, had. Mel Brooks appears as does Captain Picard of the Starship Enterprise of Star Trek: The Next Generation fame. He plays the king. Not the captain. But still...

This has been my Movie Review. It's good to be the king. Or the captain.
