The Producers (2005) - Starring Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, Uma Thurman, Will Ferrell, Gary Beach, Roger Bart. Written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan. Based on the 2001 Stage Play written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan. Based on the 1968 film by Mel Brooks. Directed by Susan Stroman. Available on Netflix Watch Instantly.
The Producers is light-hearted fun more than anything else. The spectacle is large and feels very much like you're watching a stage musical for the majority of the film, which I feel like is the point. It's got great comedic performances by Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick who give their all in this film in performances that they previously played in the stage musical. Will Ferrell is hilarious as a "former"Nazi sympathizer.
It's fun, which is all that it needs to be.
Rating: 3 out of 5.
