"Robin Hood: Men in Tights" plays less like a Mel Brooks movie and more like one of those "Hots Shots"/ "Scary Movie" type comedies. There's nothing wrong with those movies (I like a lot of them) it's just that I expect more from Mel Brooks. The cast (including the always welcome Avery Schreiber) sure is game. They all do a nice job. The cast is actually funnier than the material they are given. Most of the jokes are corny and pretty lame. That said, "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" is not the worst way to spend a lazy afternoon. Honorable mention: a dreamy Amy Yasbeck.
