Movie Reviews of Murder By Death
Movie Review: Murder by Death
Summary: 5 Stars
My Brother and I had seen this great movie when it first came out--we laughed so hard, our sides hurt!! He was visiting my in CO from NY in August and we talked about some scenes from the movie--"Cow on wall!" Since his birthday was last month, I decided to see if I could get a copy to remind us of our "earlier days." I was delighted that I could get a copy at a fabulous price--so I also got myself one!! He was thrilled to get it for his birthday, and we again shared our favorite parts and lines from the movie!! I watched it recently with friends, and it holds up well! Watch for the great scenes and listen carefully for the puns!!Movie Review: One of the best farces ever made in the US
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems that the US can't make a good farce, except for Neil Simon who has it down to a fine art. I think this is his second best one, "Blazing Saddles" being his best so far! I have seen this every time it was on TV so I was glad to see it out on DVD. I always like all the old "who done it" movies of the 30's & 40's so to see them all spoofed in one movie, I still crack up every time I watch it. It is so sad though that most of the actors in it are no longer with us. It is sad that there aren't young actors coming along to take there place. If you need a good laugh or to be cheered up get this one out and watch it!!Movie Review: Murder By Death - Murder by Laughter
Summary: 5 Stars
The five greatest classical detectives are invited to a dinner.....and a murder. Sight gags run amok; plot twists go giggling down the darkened hall; and the cast in this parody of the great 1930 mystery movies includes: Alec Guinness ("the dead, naked, blind butler in the kitchen"); David Niven (Dick Charleston); Peter Falk (Sam Diamond), Peter Sellers (Inspector Wang); James Coco (Monsieur Perrier) and Elsa Lanchester (Jessica Marbles). They're joined by Truman Capote (the host....and the victim?) as well as a hilarious supporting cast in this tongue-in-cheek whodunnit from a Neil Simon stage play.Movie Review: Hysterical.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite comedy of all time. Everyone knows Caddyshack, but people who've discovered Murder By Death will usually tell you this one is funnier. An unbeatable cast and visually its a film that rivals the mysteries its spoofing. Smart and silly at the same time and I admit its probably not the best comedy to watch with a large group, but that's mainly because most of the comedy is verbal. The dialogue is snappy and is best watched without distraction (at least the first time). But then it'll be a comedy you'll never forget and one you'll be constantly trying to convince people they have to see.
Movie Review: All the best detectives under one spoof.
Summary: 5 Stars
What do you mean spoof? This is a real mystery. You are invites to join in and out guess all the famous detectives played by famous actors.
I will not go through the whole list of actors and whom they play. However they have carefully chosen names and personalities of your favorite 1930s and 1940s detectives.
Murder runs rampant. Who or what is doing this? Why? Can it be stopped before it is too late? If you are good at detective movies you should be able to figure this out. This is a very punny movie.
