Customer Reviews of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
Not So Funny Anymore I was prepared to really like this movie. I love Zero Mostel, Buster Keaton, and Jack Gilford. However, mostly it was a disappointment. The script was uneven, and much of the humor was either sexist or a bit raunchy in nature, which may be somewhat true to the Roman view of women, but it became tiresome after a while. My husband and son found it overdone, as well. <

>That said, there were some really funny bits in it and many of the actors did a wonderful job. Buster Keaton was brilliant, as usual. Even in his older years and with a lesser role, he managed to milk the most from it. Zero Mostel was good, but I did like him better in The Producers. <

>I think I was hoping for brilliant, which most of those involved in this movie are certainly capable of, but instead got uneven and definitely not something worth watching a second time.
Cornball alacarte
Fair to good comedy, but a long way from great comedy. Is it worth the buy ? maybe if your ready for some tall CORN, but definitely not a collectors edition. Buy it once, view it once but it will probably b a longtime before you would view it again, if ever ?
Not all Romans are as stuffy as Cicero
I grew interested in Roman history some years ago. A classical scholar friend introduced this movie to me. He said the movie is based on a form of Roman play called the farce. I laughed so hard that I almost failed to keep the dinner down. Jon Pertwee, who played Dr. Who, has a cameo appearance. I especially loved some of the music which just build on the mirth instead of interrupting it. If you think Roman history is all about bloody gladiators and stuffy speeches, watch this movie!
