Movie Reviews of Young Frankenstein

Movie Review: One of Mel Brooks's finest!
Summary: 5 Stars

"Young Frankenstein" is definitely a comic classic. It has hilarious dialogue, lovely visual gags, and social satire (that's obviously found in the original "Frankenstein"). But this is funny social satire! Gene Wilder is brilliant as the young Frankenstein (pronounced Frahn-ken-shteen), while the late Marty Feldman is a laugh riot as Igor (pronounced Eye-Gore). Teri Garr is attractive as Inga ("Roll in ze hay!"), while the late Peter Boyle is fantastic as the Frahn-ken-shteen's latest creation. And let's not forget Cloris Leachman as Blucher("He vas my BOYFRIEND!")! Overall, if you don't laugh more than five times from beginning to end, then you've got a serious problem.

A+

Movie Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars

What accolade can I heap upon this film that it hasn't already received in the last 34 years? It is absolute brilliance, pure comedy gold, and arguably the funniest movie ever made. Obviously crafted with a lot of love, the black and white cinematography is gorgeous, the writing is pitch perfect, and the cast is amazing. Gene Wilder, Teri Garr, Ken Mars, Cloris Leachman, and especially the late Marty Feldman and Madeline Kahn were never better than they were here. And neither was Mel Brooks, who is truly firing on all cylinders with this film. One of the crown jewels of American comedy. Don't bother renting it - buy it, treasure it, and watch it frequently. Its that good.

Movie Review: Always Makes Me Laugh
Summary: 5 Stars

No matter how often I watch this movie, it always makes me laugh and is one of the best comedies made. I think it is Mel Brook's best work.

Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Peter Boyle, Cloris Leachman, Teri Garr, Madeline Kahn and Gene Hackman are are perfect in their timing and execution. It is hard to pick which part I enjoy the most with all the classic lines - Wilder trying to distance himself from his family name as Frederick Fronkensteen, which elicits Eyegor, Abby Normal, the list goes on. Hackman and Boyle together, just a hilarious scene.

If want to add to your comedy collection, and somehow do not have this DVD, you should get it.

Movie Review: Finally in anamorphic widescreen!!! Great DVD!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Fox finally did it right this time and released Mel Brook's classic "Young Frankenstein" in anamorphic widescreen!!! The original 1998 Special Edition is non-anamorphic and is presented windowboxed on widescreen tv's(it looks like the movie is in a picture frame!),this 2006 reissue corrects that,the print looks and sounds great on this DVD!!! Dont worry it also has ALL the great special features that were on the 1998 version,an easy way to tell if you have the new version is it DOES NOT say Special Edtion on it,and look for 2006 on the back,then you know you have the newer anamorphic version,great job Twentieth Century Fox!

Movie Review: Be prepared to 5 Stars

First of all, how can you go wrong with a Mel Brooks movie ? Young Frankenstein (or shall I say, Fraaann-kenn-ste-e-n) epitomizes Mel Brooks humor with bouts of hilarity, absurdity, and down right slap stick laughs. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants to dedicate a few hours to giggles and snickers, mixed with uproarious guffaws and a few, "huh's?" just to mix it up ! I can promise that you will be asking your friends and co-workers, "Have you seen Young Frankenstein?", which will result in instant laughter and an afternoon of "quoting" the flick with its inummerable "good ones".
