Year Released: 1967

Genre: Comedy

Starring: Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder

Run Time: 88 minutes

Description (from IMDb): After putting together another Broadway flop, down-on-his-luck producer Max Bialystock teams up with timid accountant Leo Bloom in a get-rich-quick scheme to put on the world’s worst show.

This movie hurt my feelings because it was so awful.  Okay, that’s a bit of an overstatement, but I did not like this movie. It was loud and obnoxious and I didn’t find it at all funny.  I was surprised because I like Gene Wilder and I like Mel Brooks, but this movie just didn’t work for me.  I don’t really have anything else to say about it, except that I was pretty close to turning it off halfway through and I’m not thrilled that I stuck it out!  I’m sure this is considered blasphemy, but I cannot believe this is considered a comedy classic.

 

I feel like this little old lady can do better than this weird-looking dude with the greasy combover #WatchingTheProducers

“I spend my life counting other people’s money.” I know the feeling, Bloom. #IFeelYa #WatchingTheProducers
