To the marketing idiots at 20th Century Fox: don’t worry, I’ll wait till you maroons give us an anamorphic transfer. What year is this???, oh, yeah, 2007!

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.

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).

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.
