History of the World: Part II | Ratings & Reviews

"Delightfully raunchy and silly..."

Slash FilmSlash Film

"I rolled my eyes when some sketches kept coming back again and again, but I also laughed more than enough to feel glad I watched it all."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"A humorous, if dated, love letter to Mel Brooks."

PastePaste

"I suspect every viewer’s hit-to-miss ratios will be different, but I found enough in the positive column to keep me going."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Not only a worthy sequel to one of Brooks' best and most quotable works but a loving homage to his entire oeuvre."

ColliderCollider

"For an unnecessary sequel realised in the age of infinite derivative content, History of the World, Part II is pretty damn funny."

Time MagazineTime Magazine

"An incredible multigenerational showcase of the genre..."

IGNIGN

"It gets enough inspired sketches, game cameo appearances, and plainly laugh-out-loud moments from its clever silliness to recommend it."

RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.com

"Feels like Drunk History with PG-rated dad jokes."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"As uneven as History of the World, Part II can be, it’s always taking a chance..."

Wall Street JournalWall Street Journal

"Am I supposed to laugh at this infantile stuff?"

San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

"In an era of dutiful brand extensions and pointless revivals, it turns out to be history that’s surprisingly worth repeating."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Not all of it works. In fact, a lot of it doesn’t."

Chicago TribuneChicago Tribune

"That mixed bag is perhaps what makes this the perfectly imperfect Brooks sequel viewers have been waiting for."

VarietyVariety

"Most of the time it falls flat."
