Natalie and I saw “The Producers” last night and I can’t say that I’ve laughed that hard for quite some time. Both Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane put on a stellar performance — and Uma Therman wasn’t bad either.

Though I haven’t seen the broadway production or the original movie, I thought that the movie was simply astounding and absolutely hilarious. The costumes, soundtrack, the choreography — it was all good. There were a lot of hilarious bits in it and a number of funny choreographed moments in there amidst all the song and dance.

I highly recommend seeing this one on the big screen before it heads to video — maybe leave the kids home if you don’t want them taking in suggestive material. There’s a few inuendos and suggestive shots, but despite that it’s still relatively clean and good fun.

Oh, and some of the songs are quite funny too… especially the song, “Keep it Gay“. Talk about play on stereotypes…

…No matter what you do on the stage
Keep it light, keep it bright, keep it gay!
Whether it’s murder, mayhem or rage
Don’t complain, it’s a pain
Keep it gay!
