Movie Reviews of Silent Movie
Movie Review: Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Only Mel Brooks would make a silent movie ABOUT a silent movie. In classic style, Silent Movie is ridiculous and outright hilarious. If you loved ANY of his other movies, order this one for you will not be disappointed! The shower scene with Burt Reynolds, Dom Deluise, Mel Brooks, and Marty Feldman alone is enough to both give you nightmares and keep you laughing for days.
Summary of Silent Movie
Mel Brooks, Dom Deluise and Marty Feldman pay affectionate, hilarious tribute to Hollywood's Silent Era in this classic parody of the movie business. Attempting to save his studio from the conglomerate "Engulf and Devour," a has-been movie director (Brooks) casts some of the hottest movie stars in town (all of whom spoof themselves) in one huge blockbuster film.One of Mel Brooks's weaker vehicles, this 1976 feature finds a movie producer (Brooks) deciding that the public is ready for the silent film form again. Reasonably ambitious and promising, the film ultimately doesn't do for silent cinema what Brooks did for atmospheric horror (by reviving it while parodying it) in Young Frankenstein. Lots of famous faces pass through Silent Movie, to varying effect. Perhaps the best joke in the movie is the one performer who actually has a line of dialogue: mime Marcel Marceau. --Tom Keogh
