Movie Reviews of Silent Movie
Movie Review: Wonderful Movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
Silent Movie is a wonderful Mel Brooks flick, containing all the fun you would expect in a Mel Brooks movie.
The best part, though, is you can watch it with friends and talk loudly though it - not missing a single piece of action!
Movie Review: MARCEAU SPEAKS!
Summary: 3 Stars
One has to admire Mel Brooks and his producers for even attempting to make a silent movie in 1976. Whether they were truly successful in pulling it off is a matter of opinion. While I certainly found some spots to laugh at, the overall effect was rather tedious.
The movie's plot is apparent: three goofball producers try to pitch doing a silent movie to save their studio from a huge conglomerate. To do so, they have to convince "big" stars to sign on, and our boys go about it in a slapstick manner.
Brooks, Dom DeLuise and Marty Feldman are our three heroes and they each bring their own particular comic style to their roles, with Feldman's rolling eyes still pretty funny. Sid Caesar is the producer; Harold Gould is the bad guy; and Bernadette Peters is the vixenish siren. The "big" stars they manage to recruit include Burt Reynolds, James Caan, Anne Bancroft, Liza Minnelli and Paul Newman. While I don't consider it a classic Brooks film, it has enough humorous scenes to keep you entertained.
Movie Review: Not the best Mel Brooks but it is Mel Brooks
Summary: 3 Stars
It was fun to watch this movie again. I had seen it as a child, so I did not
even know who all the stars were. Looking again, I noticed lots of actors, like
James Cann that I did not even know when I first saw this film. Not the funniest
Mel brooks film, but it has a very unique feel to it. If you've never seen this movie,
I suggest you rent it before deciding to buy, unless you are collecting
all of Mel Brook's works. The same goes for Mel Brook's 12 chairs.
Movie Review: has some funny moments
Summary: 2 Stars
although i wouldn't call this movie a laugh riot,i did find it
amusing.and i did chuckle a few times.some of the slapstick is fairly
funny.and it is essentially a silent movie.there is one audible word
word uttered in the whole movie.there is some music and sound
effects,as well.but otherwise,for all intents and purposes,it's a
silent movie.making a Silent Movie in 1976 must have taken quite a lot
of moxie,so you have to hand it to Mel Brooks for that.i guess it
didn't hurt that he got some big names of the day to agree to appear in
it.still,it's no masterpiece,but it's a step up from History of the
World Part I,which i had watched just prior to it.for me,Silent Movie
is a 2.5/5

My husband's dream was to watch this movie. I know it was cheap to buy it but I do regret it. I guess the jokes at that time made us laugh a lot now it just gets us mad. I don't think it is a must movie.
