Boston Globe - Ty Burr
The one aspect of the original Producers that still stuns is the roaring, over-the-top, in-your-face thereness of its two lead performances.

New Times (L.A.) - Andy Klein
Maniacally funny. It remains neck and neck with "Young Frankenstein" as Brooks' best film.
100
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
This is one of the funniest movies ever made. To see it now is to understand that. To see it for the first time in 1968, when I did, was to witness audacity so liberating that not even "There's Something About Mary" rivals it.

Village Voice - Michael Atkinson
However familiar, it delivers like a shorted slot machine.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Mel Brooks's first and funniest, a spoof of Broadway theater that has earned a deservedly devoted cult following.
