The movie classic that became a Broadway sensation now becomes a movie musical event. Mel Brooks is bringing The Producers, one of the most honored musicals in the history of the American theater, to the motion picture screen as a sparkling, feature-length musical comedy. The record-breaking Tony Award-winning hit (based on Mel Brooks' seminal 1968 motion picture comedy) received 15 nominations and won a record-breaking 12 awards, including Best Musical, Best Director and Choreographer, and Best Actor.
Two-time Tony Award winners Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick return to their celebrated roles as Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, a scheming theatrical producer and his mousy CPA who hit upon the perfect plan to embezzle a fortune: raise far more money than you need to produce a sure-fire Broadway flop and then (since no one will expect anything back), Max and Leo can pocket the difference. To do this, they need the ultimate bad play, which they find in the musical Springtime for Hitler. Their plans come to naught and the duo are taken completely by surprise when their new production is hailed as a toast-of-the-town hit. Will Ferrell also brings his spot-on comic talents to the role of Franz Liebkind, the neo-Nazi playwright (and pigeon fancier) responsible for penning the "worst play ever written."

i gotta be honest, this movie is the best movie Matthew Broaderick, Nathan Lane, AND Uma Therman have ever starred in. and for what Matthew and Uma have starred in, like Godzilla (1998) and Batman & Robin, that's saying alot!
Aww, that's a little harsh. Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel were amazing. I just think Brooks should have thought of doing a musical when they were still able to because I'm certain they would have been amazing. I won't lie, though, I'm a huge fan of Nathan Lane, and Matthew Broderick has an amazing singing voice. I can't choose between the original and the remake.
I love Nathan and Matthew,too!! I think that...Nathan's voice isn't pretty beautiful but it's very special !! And...I think I will choose "remake" . I love both them but I love "remake" more .
it's true the remake is great, but it cut out some of the songs from the original musical. on the other hand, this movie DID add this song and "the hop clop goes on" plus it let the actors one at a time sing goodbye
Well frankly you shouldn't choose. One is an original movie which tried crossing some lines which other directors wouldn't dare to cross back then (like the Springtime for Hitler number). And this version is based on the musical. So I like both of them for what they are.
Oh thank goodness, I've read a bunch of negative reviews and I really needed to hear a positive comment. I love this movie, and this song is so witty!
