The movie tried hard to be funny and it succeeded to a large extent .. I didn't die laughing but this movie is a very good parodytommy_leazaq

I nearly die laughing every time I see the "Puttin' on the Ritz" scene.Siskoid
Didn't watch a Halloween movie for Halloween, so Young Frankenstein (one of the actually GOOD films I won in the last Oscar Pool) is a case of better late than never. And I hadn't seen it in decades. The thing about Mel Brooks' parodies is that unlike their modern equivalent - Scary Movie and the like - they're not just a collection of references, gags and clichés, they're telling their own story. So Young Frankenstein is at once a tribute to the old Frankenstein films - using similar cinematography, make-up and pacing, as well as some of the original props - a parody of the same, AND as a proper sequel! Yes, there are gags and even a hilarious musical number, but the story is also a poignant one about fathers and sons. Younger audiences might, I suppose, get impatient with the comedy because it's definitely not "laugh-a-minute", but I rather admire it because it ISN'T. Gene Wilder and company are pitch perfect, of course, and I've always had a crush on Teri Garr, and ooh, didn't realize Gene Hackman had a small part in it!toopsy

This flick is one of the best comedies ever.Frankenstein: "Help me with these bags."
Igor: "Sure, you take the blond I'll take the one in the turban."

One of the best comedies.Rosenrotta
Gets better with repeated viewings. Comic gold!Oneironaut
Enjoyed it despite not seeing it as a funny movie (not one laugh, but I did appreciate the humour in everything).The cast was excellent, but it was just lacking comedy.

After watching this I finally understood what The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which came out one year later, actually is: a parody of a parody.devilsadvocado
Dad jokes, easy puns, and lame gags on infinite repeat. The only aspects of it I enjoyed were Wilder's performance and the dance/song routine at the end.contrafugal

I am not a big fan of Mel Brooks. I think most of his movies are completely stupid like Blazing Saddles, but this one...This one is gold!!!Showing items 1 – 15 of 19
