All member reviews for The Producers (2005)
AGE
Funny but Inappropriate
The Producers was a funny and silly movie, and I guess I could say that I liked it overall. But it was uncomfortable to sit through at times, because the humor was naughty and gross. There wasn't much language but the sexuality was extreme at times. Only for teens 15 or 14 and older.

Very innapropriate for kids, boring to most teens
This was a very funny musical, based on the 1968 version by the same director (comic genius Mel Brooks), and made even better as a musical than a straight movie. There's a lot of sexual innuendo (Max Bialistock with his old ladies and Roger DeBris's comments "It's, dare I say it, S&M!" come readily to mind), but that's the only touchy thing about this movie. All the references to Hitler and his glorification are meant in satire, which ensues the failure of the scheme of Max and Leo.
Most teenagers my age may not appreciate the humor and entertainment in this movie, but if you're a fan of Mel Brooks or musicals, you'd like this.

OK... I need to explain my ratings.
OK. I personally thought this is one of the best freaking movies of the year. But, some of the content is iffy, which is why it's great. It's perverted, twisted, and completely wonderful. Nathan Lane is really good as Max Bialystock, but Matthew Broderick is FANTASTIC as Leo Bloom. (Think of the blanket scene!) There is some cussing, lots of sexual references, but it's all very Monty Python-ish. Also, Leo and Max both like Ulla, so they have some stuff on that. ("For once, I'd like to have someone on that couch under 85.") Then she ends up with Leo. But there is a happy ending, and lots of cameos.

Better If You See It Live
I saw the musical presented by a local college theater company and fell in love with it, so I got this movie and the non-musical original movie on which the musical is based. Like most musical-to-movie adaptations, it's a lot better if you see the musical live. This movie is pretty lengthy and can feel drawn-out. When you see it live, it feels a lot faster paced. This movie is absolutely hilarious, but not for young kids. It's kind of iffy for age 12, but I think kids 13 and up should be able to handle it (seeing as I saw it at age 13, and for the record am 14 now, despite the fact that my profile says I'm 17. I just made up a random age when I signed up for here).

A very funny movie
I find it sad that this is one of the only sites in which this movie isn't underrated with a majority of the reviews, also, here's a quick message to one of the adults who reviewed this: Don't review a movie until you've seen it.
Anyway, this movie is hilarious! It has lots of jokes that shouldn't be exposed to kids unless they can handle sexual jokes, but overall a great movie. It's always funny and you just can't stop laughing once you start watching.

I want to be a Producer
This movie was really funny and had some extreamly good singing mostly in the Springtime for Hitler song from John Barrowman,my broadway idol,and throughout the movie energy and fun where in high supply. The content was a bit iffy but if you're 14 or over it should be just fine.

Mel Brooks on Broadway!!!
My best friend bought me this movie for my birthday and I'm glad that he did. It's funny and just a spectacular phenomenon. Probably one of the best movie-musicals ever made. Some references to sex, gay characters, and brief language but it's Mel Brooks so don't act suprised! Could have gotten away with a PG rating but still perverted in a Mel Brooks way.

Amazing!
Wow! Loved every minute! Showed this to my friends, relatives, parents, and most of them loved it, too. Family friendly? Yeah, why not? If they're old enough to get the joke, let them watch.
It's a great musical, the songs are catchy and well written, the actors' voices are great, and Nathan and Matthew have phenomenal chemistry as actors. I've never seen anything by Mel Brooks before this, but i found every scene hilarious! You can't miss Will Ferrell, Gary Beach, Nathan Lane, and Matthew Broderick... they bring this movie to life..
When it comes back to Broadway, you can't miss it! (Also check out the '68 version)
