Silent Movie (1976)
Hollywood loves to make movies about itself. Audiences love to watch them; it makes them think they’re all secretly true stories. In Silent Movie, Mel Brooks plays a has-been director desperate for another hit. He pitches the idea of creating a silent film to his studio, and once given the green light, he has to recruit movie stars to act in it.
The entire movie (except for one spoken word) is silent, but the gags get old fast. It isn’t really fair to hold it against him for this reason, but since Mel Brooks has made better movies, why watch this one when you can rent something funnier instead? This is one of those Hollywood movies that seem like it actually happened. When Mel Brooks has a hard time getting studio approval and actor interest in his film, it feels painfully realistic. The only bright spots are the actors who play themselves in cameo roles: Paul Newman, Burt Reynolds, Liza Minnelli, James Caan, Marcel Marceau, and of course, Anne Bancroft.
