'Robin Hood: Men in Tights' is a farcical tale about Robin Hood (Cary Elwes) on his journey back from the Crusades to England to find Sherlock Forest amiss. King Richard (Patrick Stewart) is still fighting in the Crusades while his evil brother, Prince John (Richard Lewis), and the occasionally dyslexic Sheriff of Rottingham (Roger Rees) are swindling money out of the poor and wreaking havoc on the town. Robin Hood vows to dethrone Prince John with the help of his friends, Ahchoo (Dave Chappelle), Little John (Eric Allan Kramer), Blinkin (Mark Blankfield) and Will Scarlet O’Hara (Matthew Porretta). On his quest, he also meets the fair Maid Marian (Amy Yasbeck) and steals her heart, but the Sheriff will stop at nothing to make her his wife. The scenes are tied together using rapping merry men and long-running jokes, which make the film all the more hilarious. Despite the story being told over and over, the tale of Robin Hood is made refreshing through the delightful (although sometimes risqué) humor of Mel Brooks and the colorful cast.
