SPOILERS for: The Producers

       
   So I have been on a bit of a binge. Which is consisting of Space Balls, Rocky Horror and Monty Pathoon marathons. Non of which I have written a review on since I have been very lazy, but I though that The Producers deserves one. Especially since this is my first time watching the film. Though it should be noted that I am watching the 2005 remake with Will Ferrel and that guy from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I have heard that the original is better, but this all I could find on Netflix.
           For those of you who do not know what The Producers is all about, you should really go change that. But, if you couldn't guess, this film we are following the musical tale of two producers. One a Broadway know-it-all who sleeps with old women to fund him and an ex-accountant who still seeks comfort from his baby blanket. They are on the quest to make the biggest musical blunder in all of history! This way they can make two million dollars and move to Rio!  So they find the worst play in all of history, "Spring Time For Hitler" which is noted to insult every gender, race and religion known to man! But sadly falls flat in that respect, its more of just a neo-nazi's tribute to Hitler.
            Leo and AlexEven going to the lengths of hiring the worst Director with his song, "Keep it Gay" that is currently stuck in my head. Which I can only imagine that in the 1968 version had a totally different meaning, then in this remake. Also Ulla has an amazing number about if a woman's got it, flaunt it!

          Obviously this plan doesn't go accordingly. And it seems that Ulla and Leo are able to movie to Rio leaving Alex behind for jail time, that incorporates a fabulous dance number recounting the whole of the movie until that exact point. But don't fear friendship saves the day! The dup get off practically Scott free with five years at "Sing Sing" Prison. before they return to there lives as the producers!
          Totally worth a watch you guys!
