CRITICS OF "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum"

Movie Metropolis

A funny thing happened on the way to Hollywood: A good musical-comedy lost much of its fizz.

January 01, 2000

Cinema Sight

Humorous to an extent, but lacking the bang you might expect from a big screen musical.

June 22, 2010

Netflix

The Empire strikes back in loutish, fun musical comedy.

Blunt Review

This is freakin' hilarious!

April 10, 2004

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

Perhaps the first modern film musical -- breaking with and even making sport of the theatrical artifice that had been bogging down the genre for nearly a decade.

August 21, 2002

Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)

A great mixture of slapstick, farce and music. Zero Mostel is a treat as is the underappreciated Jack Gilford.

October 04, 2002

Video-Reviewmaster.com

Hilarious, stagey version of hit Broadway musical comedy.

June 29, 2005

PopMatters

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a classic in its own right. The songs are fun and the story is unpredictable (even if it does occasionally meander for too long).

October 09, 2014

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

The middling low-brow slapstick comedy overdoses on the brassy Zero Mostel hamming it up.

The funniest movie ever made
