The slapstick here is nothing to rent the film over. Oddly, it's the serious moments that charm. I was embarrassed to myself for being choked up by Mel Brooks.

So pretty much does this Brooks misfire.

About 90% of the jokes elicit blank, polite stares, not laughs. The film is as raggedy and forlorn as its hero.

A slapstick vaudeville about the poor and homeless? Inadvertently Mel Brooks gives the dangerous impression that homelessness is cute and that Downtown LA is filled with adorable and eccentric people who "just happen" to be roofless.

This was supposed to be Brooks's comical stab at social injustice, a kind of My Man Godfrey for the nineties, but it doesn't work.

Lesser Mel Brooks has some funny bits if homelessness is funny at all
