Movie Reviews of To Be or Not to Be
Movie Review: "I Need Lines. I STINK Without A Script." "He Stinks WITH A Script."
Summary: 4 Stars
The above lines are just a sample of the comedy in this film. Watching him poke fun at the Nazis is simply priceless. Jose Ferrer (Academy Award winner for the 1952 film "Cyrano De Bergerac") co-stars as a Nazi spy. SPOILER!!! Shame his part is short. SPOILER OVER!!! Charles Durning & Christopher Lloyd (Great Scott!!!) add to the fun as a hapless Nazi commandant & his bumbling officer. I especially love the scene where Bronski is performing his Nazi skit at the beginning. I wish it had been longer. My one complaint about the movie is the inclusion of the faggot Sasha. Did Brooks REALLY have to throw in an abnormal person into this movie? (Fortunately, his activities were not depicted on screen). Rated PG.Movie Review: To Be or Not To Be
Summary: 4 Stars
If you like Mel Brookes' quirky humour you'll love this. An extremely entertaining film with one liners by the dozen. A great performance from the late Ann Bancroft also; playing alongside her husband in a comedy role lets you see her in a different light. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and rate it one of my favourites.Movie Review: Dreadful
Summary: 1 Stars
I have yet to see a remake that comes anywhere near the original, and this is sadly no exception to the rule. It starts out well enough, with an hysterically funny dance number- Mel and Anne doing "Sweet Georgia Brown" in Polish. That is not only the biggest laugh in the movie, it may be the last one. From there on, the timing is awful, the jokes simply don't work, and what was touching in the Jack Benny original becomes tasteless. Skip it.
