We're marching to a faster pace

Saw the new 'The Producers' last night. Liked it. Four wags. It joins such illustrious company as 'Little Shop of Horrors' and... 'Little Shop of Horrors' as a film that was made into a stage musical which was made into a film. And also like 'Little Shop' it was a period piece about a period that never really existed. It also allowed Mel Brooks, after such delights as 'To Be or Not To Be' and 'Life Stinks' to make a funny movie. The music was immediately satisfying and instantly forgettable for the most part, Matthew Broderick was again lovely, and Nathan Lane was fabulous. I even liked Will Ferrel, which may have never happened before. (They showed his football movie on a flight I was trapped in and I nearly sporked my own eyes out.) Um. I probably had more coherent things to say but I forget them all now. Anyway. I recommend it for a rental, if you like Mel Brooks, because the humor is pretty classic Brooks.

EDIT
Oh yeah! It was nice seeing Captain Jack in another WWII era role!
