3/5

The original was far funnier and somehow managed to cut to the chase with less of a song and dance.

The play is everything in this uneven movie, which is alternately groan-inducing and side-splitting.

Director Stroman (who also choreographed the film) has also paid tribute to the theatre by casting such stage stars as Brent Barrett, Debra Monk, Karen Ziemba and Andrea Martin.

The real reason to see this film is the addition of the musical numbers -- catchy and clever songs, written in the style of classic 1950s Broadway musicals.

Shows such affinity for the stage that it barely qualifies as a movie.

Is it better than the stage version? Not necessarily. But this is a faithful rendition that should succeed in bringing a delightful old-fashioned crowd-pleaser to a new audience.

It's a broad, slightly naughty comedy in musical form from the skewed, if not a little twisted, comic genius Mel Brooks.

Not great, but still funnier than most other comedies released in 2005.

Bad taste can sometimes be fun (check out the Warhol films), but when it's not it turns out to be just plain irritating like this version of The Producers.

A shrill and grating production ... watching it is rather like trying on a never ending series of hair shirts.

Laugh til' you drop - the musical version of The Producers is finally here. When Mel Brooks conceived his comedy satire, the subject matter of ridiculing Hitler was brave to say the least. And nearly 40 years later, it still leaves bite marks.

Little more than the show audiences paid to see in New York.

This is a very funny idea, made all the more entertaining by the actors going over the top - Ze show is unjinxable.
