I'm trying my hardest to watch the new DVD of High Anxiety, which I was hoping time would have been kind to. It hasn't. It's one of the unfunniest movies I've ever seen - labored, shticky, and filled with the kind of "comic" acting I abhor - Ron Clark, Harvery Korman, and Howie Morris, all made my teeth hurt. They're great in sketch comedy, but on film they're horrendous. What happened to the Mel Brooks of The Producers, Blazing Saddles, and his finest hour, Young Frankenstein? Everything after the latter pales, I'm afraid, despite sporadic amusing bits.
The real question is - to sweet or not to sweet? I think the former, don't you?
