Gene Wilder and Donald Sutherland play two sets of twins switched at birth: one aristocratic and the other peasants. It is set during the French Revolution (1789 to be specific, a date you won't soon forget after seeing the movie), so the peasants are revolting and the aristocrats are on the run. There is no plot, just a stream of unrelated events that the actors try to milk for as much comedy as possible. It barely got a chuckle out of me, and I love Monty Python and all things Mel Brooks, to which this has a passing resemblance.
