This movie is tepid compared to the original (Mostel/Wilder) version.
This was a successful Broadway show. Why didn't Mel Brooks just re-release the original movie, which after-all was original.
I do not see the necessity of re-producing what was to some of us a classic movie.
Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick are fine and talented actors. I found that there talents were wasted on this movie. Their efforts no doubt scored well on the stage, but did not translate too well to the big screen.
The only saving grace in this edition were the quirky performances of Uma Thurman and Will Ferrell.
I hope that we will not be treated to a newer edition of "Blazing Saddles" .
