About this movie

Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick and Uma Thurman star in this hilariously funny film about a scheming producer and a mousy accountant who set out to make the biggest Broadway flop ever.

Ratings and reviews

For those trying to choose between the original and this version, don't bother. They are both different movies and can't be compared. I love the original but I also love this one. Don't ruin two great movies by trying to pick a favourite.

First of all, Mel Brooks. That should be enough to warrant you to buy this. Secondly, this is a graceful update to the Gene Wilder version. It's silly, goofy, and a great movie for theatre geeks and 'normal' people alike.

Stay far FAR away from this version and watch the original with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel. That is the only version of this movie worth seeing
