The Producers (1967)★ 7.6/10

The concept is clever and the satire lands, but the execution is often overly simplistic. The humor lacks finesse, the pacing is uneven, and the slapstick performances quickly become grating. What begins as ironic quickly turns into a barrage of noise.

Outrageously theatrical yet brilliantly adapted for the screen, Mel Brooks delivers not just slapstick vulgarity but also biting satire aimed squarely at 1960s America. The screenplay is sharp, though it’s the performances that elevate the film, adding nuance to the absurdity.

Não vou negar, o começo tava achando chatinho, muito pastelão, um tanto forçado. Mas, ainda bem chega em um ponto que a sacada surge, e eu apesar de ter uma noção, não estava esperando as performances. É bom! E enfim, estar levemente datado faz parte.
