The Producers has picked up some very harsh reviews. There were also some good notices, but the negatives were VERY negative:

• "The Producers might work okay on stage but it collapses the second the same material and songs get in front of a camera."
• "... as stale as last year's croissants"
• "The movie is so poorly conceived, directed, choreographed, and executed by Susan Stroman that it makes its lead actors, Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, utterly charmless and the whole musical witless and unappealing."
• "It's hard to envision a worse big-budget film version of Mel Brooks's Tony Award-winning musical The Producers than this dreadfully lifeless affair."
• "As creaky as the traditional musicals it once poked fun at, The Producers has been entombed -- lox, shtick and two smoking bagels -- as a theatrical fossil, and reinforces the danger in returning to the same material one time too many."
