This guy is in love with everything he does. He can't image writing something he doesn't think is hysterical. Or seeing his face repeatedly in nearly every movie he makes. For the 3 or 4 good laughs in this movie are 15 painful moments when you sit and stare at the screen and wish to God he was as funny as he thinks he is.
I took a look at this for the first time in about 5 years and I guess I grew up or this guy was NEVER THAT FUNNY TO START WITH.
Geesh, the farting scene? Funny in 7th grade. When Brooks is the Gov or the Indian chief? You wonder why he didn't just (over)act every part and save everyone a lot of time.
The only thing saving this from the bottom of the barrel is an excellent cast (Little, Kahn, Korman, Wilder) that tries SO hard to make something out of a junior high school script by a man that is seriously not all that funny.
Okay, this movie is still about 100 times better than Spaceballs...
