C B @RT03025588 5d On June 28th, 2026, Mel Brooks turns 100 years of age. I thought this documentary was 2 hours long, but by the time I realized it's true running time, I was hooked. The Producers, Young Frankenstein and High Anxiety will always be 3 of my favourite comedies- the rest of his movies, not so much. Comedy is so subjective.

See more Michael B. @KVD1969 Feb 18 When a legendary comedy icon realizes he’s only 365 days away from a telegram from the President, he embarks on a frantic, cross-country quest to settle his oldest slapstick grudges before the big 1-0-0. Chased by a worried assistant and a choir of singing neuroses, he must navigate a modern world that’s lost its punchline while proving he’s still the fastest wit in the West. It’s a high-stakes, low-filter race against time that proves you’re never too old to leave ’em laughing—or to stage one last great escape. See more Roscoe H @High-Five Feb 9 The obvious movies by Mel Brooks, I knew of, but the involvement of Richard Pryor, the commentary by Dave Chappelle, learning about his time in the service, his friendships with fellow comedians, famous movies that he produced that I had no idea that he produced, made the experience of watching this documentary, very special. His bravery and comedic delivery and confidence to tackle untouchable topics, I laughed when someone said, they couldn't believe he did what he did back then, but admitted, it probably couldn't be done today. Thanks you Mr Brooks for making me laugh. See more David W @Sternhammer Feb 7 My list of cinema's best comedies of all time would look much different without the great man's classics. Thanks for all the belly laughs Mel. See more William K. @Koolbill Feb 5 What a fabulous man and career. He was a true game changer. A genius of sorts. See more Read all reviews
