I could even force myself to laugh at what is arguably the unfunniest comedy ever made.
I’ll bet you don’t like the Three Stooges or Marx Brothers either.
There is something about Mel Brook's writing that sits on the border between outrageously hilarious and sickeningly mediocre humor. The comic rendition of Porter's I Get A Kick Out Of You strikes me as UNfunny and a dumb opportunistic stunt issuing from a sophisticated yet immature mind.
On the other hand, I was in stitches when Mel Brooks sang High Anxiety (which is a send off of Cole Porter's style) in the movie of the same name. Go figure.
And yes, I love the Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers, but WC Fields cannot be topped.
