He didn't, not really, but he came close enough to make this worth watching if you're into off-the-wall humor and slapstick. Which I am. Scroll down to the trailer and watch it. If you get a laugh from that, you'll get even more from the movie.
The smartest thing Wilder did was hire some of the cast members from other Brooks movies: Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, and Dom DeLouise. They're all very funny in this one. Wilder wrote the script himself, and that's a problem. It's goofy, all right, but it doesn't work as well as Brooks' best scripts do. It has some very funny moments, but it doesn't hang together (not that all of Brooks' do, either).
I remember that Judy and I took the kids to see this one in the theater a long time ago. They loved one particular scene and giggled about it all the way home. It's in the trailer, but you don't get to see what they found so funny. Too bad.
