Movie Reviews of High Anxiety
Movie Review: consider me insane!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
after watching this movie, i find it ridiculously hard to believe anyone couldn't find this movie funny. From beginning to the end, the Hitchock spoofs were hilarious. So many funny little odities in the movie make it worth watching over and over, just because you find other funny things each time. From the suspenseful background movie music thats actually a orchestra passing in a bus to the patient at the Psychoneurotic Institute for the Very, Very Nervous with the werewolf nightmares. This movie will make you laugh over and over. If it doesn't, you are TOO serious.Movie Review: Very funny
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great pastiche of many Hitchcock films. Watching it again recently I had forgotten just how funny and talented Mel Brooks is.
Great parodies of the shower scene from Psycho, various bits from Vertigo and obvious recreations of North by Northwest's most famous scenes are all here. Brooks plays the leading role as well as directing and does a marvellous job.
This is a little treasure of film that is frequently forgotten, because of the success of Blazing Saddles and the brilliance of Young Frankenstein.
Movie Review: Mel Brooks at the Top of His Game
Summary: 4 Stars
Before he began to stray creatively in the late 70's, Mel Brooks made a string of comedy classics, and this brilliantly funny satire of Hitchcock films is one of his finest. His hugely talented and very funny ensemble cast includes show stopping performances by Cloris Leachman as Nurse Diesel, and Madeline Kahn as the "heiress" Victoria Brisbane. "High Anxiety" will be most enjoyable for fans of Hitchcock who will recognize spoofs of his films at every turn, but the film is funny on its own merits. Just sit back and laugh.Movie Review: Wonderful Addition to the Brooks Collection
Summary: 4 Stars
Anything of Mel Brooks' is bound to be funny... and "High Anxiety" is no exception. Brilliantly crafted parody fits with the perfect comical acting of Kahn, Leachman, Korman and even Brooks himself. I was not particulary fond with the musical number, which one comes to expect with Brooks' comedies, but oh, well. On the whole, a charmingly hilarious movie!Movie Review: Classic Mel Brooks - I loved it.
Summary: 4 Stars
What can I say? It's Mel Brooks. And he is spoofing some great Alfred Hitchcock movies like "The Birds," "Pschyco" and "Vertigo." The humor is sometimes suttle and sometimes slap stick, but always out loud laughable. Some of the jokes may be lost on the under 30 crowd but if you enjoy Alfred Hitchcock, you'll enjoy this spoof.
