Brooks is a first-rate satirist who came on strong with his outstanding debut The Producers. He’s had some major stinkers, but he keeps chugging along, though lately he’s been busy with his huge Broadway musical adaptation of The Producers which will be filmed and released theatrically, marking a full circle for Brooks. Here's how his films rate.
I've rated the films from a zero (horrible!) to four (wonderful!) star scale, with the links going to my reviews. As usual, I've only included films I've seen.
