AMAZON.COM REVIEWS FOR LIFE STINKS (1991): Life stinks--and if by "life" you mean this movie, then hereindeed is truth in advertising. Mel Brooks totally missed the boat withthis attempt at a comedy about life in the greedy Reagan years. He playsa heartless tycoon who bets that he could easily survive for a month onthe streets of L.A. without a penny to his name, and then gets tricked outof his fortune. He winds up learning how the other half lives and itisn't funny. Literally. Watching this film, it's hard to believe it wasmade by the same man who wrote and directed The Producers. What doesit tell you that this film was loved in France? --Marshall Fine
