A transparent send-up of Alfred Hitchcock's legendary suspense pictures, this probably sounded better on paper than it looks on the screen. It's expected that a Mel Brooks movie would be filled to the brim with cheap puns, obvious punchlines and loads of sight gags - that's part of his allure, actually - but High Anxiety seems thin even by those standards. A basement-level plot might have something to do with that; beneath the dense surface of each of Brooks's best pictures lies a surprisingly rich, inherently funny basic storyline. That's missing in this dim, forced tale of good, evil and jealousy in the hallways a California psychiatric ward. If Blazing Saddles is a novella, High Anxiety is a two-page pamphlet. It's got some value, but not enough to justify a very long sitting.

I think I watched it as a kid and it was mildly entertaining then. Rewatching it now I failed to recapture the fun I remember. having. It was passable, but nothing really stuck for me.

I am not necessarily a fan of these American-style comedies, but the film is passable and some gags are interesting.

Mel Brooks is always a great bet for a movie. This one spoofs many Hitchcock films. I recommend this movie
