Customer Reviews

Highlight: Uma shows her Thurman’s.

Max Bialystock (Nathan Lane) did it again. Yep, his plays are flops. Leo Bloom (Matthew Broderick), an accountant, inadvertently suggests that one can make a mint by selling more than 100% of a flop production. This sets Max in motion to produce the floppiest play yet. Will their scheme succeed? Well, ever since his successes in his youth, Matthew Broderick has had a string of mediocre movies. The string has finally been broken with this less-than-mediocre production. One plus is that they did not try to mimic the original film. The addition of several new musical pieces and keeping “Springtime for H-i-t-l-e-r” shows a great effort at creativity while retaining the essence of the story. However, the musical pieces were more vulgar than funny and relied more on base language and gestures than on skill or relevancy. There were some good actors, such as Hilda the Wrong Way Pigeon. And Uma looked like she had fun in this one. However, most of the actors, including Matthew Broderick, looked like they were just going through the motions.
