Some Good Gags, But Not Enough to Carry the Movie
It's Hollywood, and the trio of Mel Funn, Marty Eggs and Dom Bell (get it?!) are tootling down the boulevard in Mel's canary yellow roadster. It's the Roaring 20's, and the decadence is passing them by. As a caption tells us (this IS a silent movie), "Mel Funn, once Hollywood's greatest director, until drinking destroyed his career, is trying to make a comeback."They go to Big Picture Studio, "If it's a big one, it was made here", to pitch one last film. But Big Picture is in financial straits itself, and is trying to stave off a takeover by the stinky conglomerate appropriately named "Engulf and Devour".How the boys make a film and save the day is the story of "Silent Movie". There are sound effects, but no dialogue or voice-overs. There are many gags, including sight gags, such as when the Big Picture Studio's office door has this name plate: "Current Studio Chief".It has guest stars, like a TV show, cameos where well-known actors play themselves: Burt Reynolds, James Caan, Liza Minnelli, Anne Bancroft, Paul Newman, Sid Caesar and my favorite, Marcel Marceau.This silent movie schtick is fun for a while, but it doesn't hold up for a whole movie. I think I would have appreciated this more if it had been shorter. Otherwise, this 1976 movie feels just like a 70's TV show.Mel Brooks directed twelve films in all, acting in all but one of them. Eight of his movies, including "Silent Movie" are collected in a slipcase in Mel Brooks Bx Sm Cb.Happy Reader

There is no one who employs sight gags as well as Mel Brooks and this one is full of them! With a bunch of his favorite actors to fill the roles his clever plotting really takes off! Such a funny movie to watch and share.

Mel Brook's Best Film. Make Sure to Purchase This Movie A+ All The Way.
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2023
I’m a huge Mel Brooks fan and while everyone knows films like blazing saddles or Young Frankenstein. This is probably one of his best parities overall. It’s a complete fires on the silent movie trend, with melon company, clearly enjoying themselves as a roof on the films they probably grew up with. There’s a ton of great celebrity cameos, and everyone looks to be having a great time. One of the best jokes is having Bernadette peters in the movie and having all her singing be done silently. It’s definitely not at the level of the previous two films I’ve mentioned, but it’s a very very good comedy and for Mel brooks fans, it is well worth your time.

This was a seminal movie from the Meister of the ridiculous. Brooks delivers a homage to Hollywood & its panoply of pomp & self worth, whilst teetering on the absurd.
There are scenes that could have been lifted from the Benny Hill play book, whom was first? It doesn't matter because the slapstick comes thick & fast. As with all Mel Brooks movies the scatter gun of visual jokes either hits or misses, depending on your sense of humor.
All in all, very entertaining.

This hilarious film with many Hollywood stars in cameos is Mel Brooks at his best.

Is this the greatest movie of all time?
To quote Marcel Marceau — which one doesn’t often get to do — “No!”
But it is a rollicking good time, full of slapstick and physical humor.
Stop looking for high art and just enjoy the fun of a silent movie, of THE Silent Movie.

The 4th funniest film of Mel Brooks, showing that silent can still be the best. His funniest films are, in order, The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. A very funny man that lost his way in later films.
