The Empire strikes back in loutish, fun musical comedy.August 21, 2002
Perhaps the first modern film musical -- breaking with and even making sport of the theatrical artifice that had been bogging down the genre for nearly a decade.February 05, 2009
The middling low-brow slapstick comedy overdoses on the brassy Zero Mostel hamming it up.June 29, 2005
Hilarious, stagey version of hit Broadway musical comedy.June 22, 2010
Humorous to an extent, but lacking the bang you might expect from a big screen musical.April 10, 2004
This is freakin' hilarious!June 15, 2007
The funniest movie ever madeOctober 04, 2002
A great mixture of slapstick, farce and music. Zero Mostel is a treat as is the underappreciated Jack Gilford.October 09, 2014
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a classic in its own right. The songs are fun and the story is unpredictable (even if it does occasionally meander for too long).January 01, 2000
