Critics' reviews
- "Brooks used his clout to turn back the clock by combining silly sight gags, show-biz satire, silence, and celebrity cameos"
- "A series of heavily telegraphed, desperately played and incredibly unfunny sight gags, Silent Movie is truly a maddeningly insulting salute to the golden age of film comedy."
- "The slender plot of 'Silent Movie' is basically a hook for slapstick antics, some feeble and some very fine. Harry Ritz, Charlie Callas, Henny Youngman, and the late Liam Dunn are standouts."
- "The gags as usual vary in quality from gold to zinc, but what makes Silent Movie more than a string of gags is the comic sensibility of Brooks."
