Max Bialystock: "Franz Liebkind?
Franz Liebkind: I was not a member of the Nazi party! "
Max Bialystock (Nathan Lane) used to be the king of Broadway. He always had the biggest hits, but lately his shows have been in the pits. Recent reviews have been horrid, with shows closing the same day. Max is now a very sad, desperate man, resorting to shtooping old widows in New York to raise cash for his productions. Leo Bloom (Matthew Broderick) is an accountant sent to review Max's ledger. Upon examination, Leo discovers a small error where Max's latest show "Funny Boy" cost $98,000 to make yet Max raised $100,000. Speaking off the cuff, Leo says that under the right circumstances, a producer could make more from a flop than a hit. Instantly intrigued, Max says that he and Leo should do just that, create a flop. Leo, who has always wanted to be a producer, eventually agrees. Max and Leo go off to hunt and find the worst script, the worst director, and the worst actors to make the worst flop Broadway has ever seen. When they find the script for "Springtime for Hitler," everything falls into place. Keeping it gay, director Roger DeBris makes not only the Nazis winners of World War II but also makes Hitler live up to his middle name. Seen by critics as a biting satire, "Springtime for Hitler" becomes a smash hit, and Max and Leo can only wonder where did they go right. The movie is also blessed with a great group of supporting players. Gary Beach and Roger Bart, reprising their roles from Broadway, are terrific as the flamboyant director and his common-law assistant. And joining the cast are Will Ferrell as the Nazi playwright Franz Liebkind and Uma Thurman as the Swedish secretary, Ulla. Both do great turns and manage to carry their songs with aplomb. The songs are pure Mel Brooks, with clever and outrageous lyrics -- including a few wonderful in-jokes for fans of his films. The musical numbers in "Springtime for Hitler" are over-the-top funny. Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane share a breezy camaraderie with each other as producer Max and accountant Leo, but their performances feel stilted and overly rehearsed. The Producers touchy sensibilities, but in an age where no one is anyone unless they can bitch, there are still those who would have loved to lead the lynching party after the first act of the "gay romp with Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgarden." I'll make this very clear and only say it once. If you're not laughing at The Producers, you have no sense of humor. -

ugh!!! it was a hilarious movie but c'mon!!! it is definitely not a classic or a memorable movie. i watched it last night and yes, i was laughing, and that's it. there was nothing about it that shouted "emmy nominee" to me. probably one of the very few movies that can totally suck and yet could be one of the most hilarious movies this year. it's just as if the producers of "the producers" wanted the movie to be a flop and since so many people, (according to this page) totally dislike it, then they made more money making a flop than a hit. yup, it's definetly a flop. hope them producers enjoy rolling in their dirty money. ^_^

Easily the worst movie i've ever attempted to watch. I couldn't even finish it it was so bad. The only redeeming quality was Will Ferrell and even he sucked.
