If you were to disagree that Mel Brooks’s Young Frankenstein ranks between the top-ten funniest movies of all time, nobody could pretty brawl the claim. Spoofing classical abhorrence in the approach that Brooks’s prior movie Blazing Saddles sent up classical Westerns, the movie is both a amatory reverence and a raucous, ungodly satire of Universal’s classical abhorrence drive-in theatre Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Filming in stately black and white, Brooks re-created the Frankenstein laboratory regulating the same apparatus from the strange Frankenstein (courtesy of engineer Kenneth Strickfaden), and this amatory courtesy to earthy and stylistic item creates a plain substructure for nonstop comedy. The story, of course, involves Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) and his bid to resume experiments in re-animation pioneered by his late father. (He’s got a little help, given father left at the back of a book patrician How I Did It.) Assisting him is the untimely hunchback Igor (Marty Feldman) and the chubby but none-too-bright lass Inga (Teri Garr), and when Frankenstein succeeds in formulating his beast (Peter Boyle), the theatre is set for an vast rider of the Frankenstein legend. With humerous entertainment highlights as well large to mention, Brooks guides his shining expel (also together with Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, and Gene Hackman in a classical cameo role) by stage after stage of desirous hilarity. Indeed, Young Frankenstein is a bewitched film, zero reduction than a humerous entertainment classic, representing the excellent work from everybody involved. Not one fun has lost the payoff, and nothing of the large gags have lost their crazy appeal. From a career that includes a little of the many appropriate comedies ever made, this is the movie for that Mel Brooks will be many fondly remembered. Befitting a classic, the Special Edition DVD includes audio explanation by Mel Brooks, a “making of” documentary, interviews with the cast, waggish bloopers and outtakes, and the strange melodramatic trailers. No video living room should be but a duplicate of Young Frankenstein. And only remember–that’s Fronkensteen. –Jeff Shannon

i don’t usually disagree with the general concensus of reviewers, but this time it’s personally unavoidable. i viewed this film for the first time this past weekend after purchasing it. i considered it to be very mundane for comedy. the contradiction in terms is intentional. i may have been amused to the extent of laughing twice throughout the entire film. if this is any example of Mel Brook’s greatest comical acheivement then his brand of humor is assinine at best. this one would have have played better as a dramatic remake of the original. sorry Mel, you’re just not funny. as for the the DVD, it has enough extras to satisfy fans of this supposed comic film director/producer.

I bought this movie after reading reveiws on ebay and also reading reveiws elsewhere claming it was one of the funniest movies ever. I was very disapointed with this movie, Laughs where very scarce. Itmay be funny to Frankenstein fans, but being born it the 80′s, I have never seen a classic frankenstein movie. I have seen Abbott and Costello Meets Frankenstein, and Carry on Screaming, both of wich I found to be far more humerous than this movie. If you are a huge Frankenstein Fan or a Mell Brooks Fan you may like this movie, but anyone else I would recomend that you try before you buy (rent).

Okay, so the movie was sorta funny, I guess. So what? I can’t believe some people actually think this movie is the funniest movie made. That’s just a wee bit of an overstatement. Even though the movie got 4 stars, I don’t think it deserved it. There were a couple funny parts (Do you want any wine? No. Milk? No. Ovaltine? Nothing!) but overall I think Mel Brooks … out when he did this show. The Producers, for instance, is a lot funnier. But hey, don’t take my word for it.
