To watch or not to watch
If you currently have an HBO subscription then you need to add this to your watch list right away. It's not one of Mel Brooks bigger title films, but it should be as it's just as witty and funny. A remake of a 1940s film, it stays true to the classic with a touch of Brooks. A polish theater troupe in Warsaw use their love of the stage to fool the nazis and escape the ghetto. It's a farce in the truest form, and when this movie makes you laugh, you will be rolling.

It’s farce and poetry both, able to make thrilling gearshifts from poignant characterisation into madcap as the film spills onto the streets to create chase sequences worthy of Chuck Jones or Fred Quimby.

MissCagey (2652 KP) rated Braven (2018) in Movies
Dec 21, 2018
Oh dear. This film started well but descended into a farce. All I did throughout the film was ask questions. Why didn't he do this? Why did he do that? How on earth did that happen? How on earth did none of the team recognise it was all pretty ridiculous?
Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Lemon (2017) in Movies
Sep 21, 2017
Although guaranteed to split critics and viewers alike, nobody can argue that Bravo and Gelman haven’t put their all into this absurdist, existential farce. The question remains: Will Lemon make or break that all-important first date comedy connection?

The Craggus (360 KP) rated Holmes and Watson (2018) in Movies
Dec 31, 2018
Holmes & Watson (2018) is excrementary, my dear readers. #Review
The 1988 Michael Caine/ Ben Kingsley movie “Without A Clue” asked what would happen if Holmes was actually an idiot and Dr Watson was the genius but "Holmes & Watson" dares to ask what if they were both imbeciles, in a crass and witless farce? The answer is excrementary, my dear reader...

David McK (3188 KP) rated Some Like It Hot (1959) in Movies
Jan 8, 2021
Classic Billy Wilder comedy farce, starring Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis (doing his Carey Grant impersonation), with the latter two playing down on their luck musicians who witness a mafia murder during the Prohibition Era of the 1920s and hatch a plan to escape Chicago by joining an all-girl band (enter Monroe) in drag in order to escape.
Full of sizzling one liners/repartee such as:
"Water Polo? Isn't that awfully dangerous? "
"I'll say. I had two horses drown under me..."
(I think it was 2)
and who can forger the final line of the film ("nobody's perfect")!
