Product reviewsYoung Frankenstein (DVD, 1998)

Classic comedy

This is one of my favorite movies of all time ever. Gene Wilder is excellent, as well as Terri Garr, Cloris Leachman, Madelaine Kahn, and of course, Peter Boyle as Frankenstein. If you like to laugh, and love quirky comedies, then you must see this movie. You will watch it over and over again...and laugh at the same jokes every time. Mel Brooks was at the top of his game when he directed this one. Five stars and two big thumbs up!Read full review...

For Frankenstein fans, that don't like sequel/filler.

Boris Karloff felt there should've been no sequel to "Frankenstein". Before discovering he said that, I felt the same way. Even "Bride" and "Son of Frankenstein" was unnecessary filler. However, Mel Brooks' genius proves this is more than a respectable sequel, to Karloff's original. I feel Peter Boyle makes the movie great. No slack on Gene Wilder's part, but Boyle makes the movie (maybe cause I call the monster "Frankenstein" too). Sure this is a comedy, but it more than compliments the Karloff movie. Plus, it gives the ending you feel should happen in Mary Shelly's book. Unlike his grandfather, Freddy Frankenstein cares about his creation. He makes himself a "guinea pig", so the monster can turn good. A great ending, for one of my favorite movie monsters.Read full review...

A Comedy Classic!

This is one of my favorite comedies of all time!

There is nothing I can say about the writing, directing, acting that is negative. Mel Brooks is a comedic genius, and the 1970's were his 'golden years' of film making. (Actually go back to 1968 and the original 'The Producers')

Gene Wilder stars in & co-wrote this film and 'Blazing Saddles', which were made within about a year of each other. Both are comedy classics!

The late great Peter Boyle is a superb 'Frankenstein's Monster' and is so funny! The late great Madeline Kahn is wonderful as well.

Another of my favorites of the 'Mel Brooks Stock Company' is Cloris Leachman.

She is a scene stealer in this film as well as in 'High Anxiety'!

'Young Frankenstein' is a winner.

Check it out if you are unfamiliar with the comedy of the great Mel Brooks.

It's worth the time and effort.Read full review...

Young Frankenstein

Young Frankenstein has a cast of off beat hilarious characters that make you howl with laughter. This is a fantastic comedy that you just can't help but enjoy. The fact that its in black and white really adds to the fun since its a parody of the original classic horror film, Frankenstein.
This is one of my favorite comedies and its the perfect after dinner party enjoyment to share with friends. Just supply bowls of popcorn and comfy chairs. Your guests will love you for it! It truly is one of the best comedies ever made.Read full review...

Young Frankenstein (DVD, 1998)

Old Gene Wilder movie spoof on the Frankenstein Story. Wilder is a professor of Anatomy who inherits his family's ancestral castle in Transylvania. He goes there to put aside the family ridicule and shame. Teri Garr, young and lovely now, is Wilder's assistant. Marty Feldman is the hunchback, and Peter Boyle is the creature. Lots of one liners and nutty comedy in this movie filled with the "usual Suspects" make this Mel Brooks classic both funny and silly. Still well done in that black and white retro style of the 1970's. Some parts are truly funny.Read full review...

A Mel Brooks Classic

This 1974 Mel Brooks film is a spoof of the old Universal Studios horror film Frankenstein. Young Frankenstein started me on my path to the horror fanatic I am today. I know what your thinking, but this is a comedy, right? Since the movie came out before I was born, I was a young kid when I first saw it. At that time I believed this was horror and I loved it. I had no idea there were maniacs with chainsaws or slashers with hockey masks. The film opens like a creepy old black and white scary movie. It's not until you see Gene Wilder that you realize it's a comedy. Aersomith got the idea for their song Walk This Way from a line in this film. This is a great movie for people of all ages.Read full review...

Young Frankenstein DVD

One of the funniest movies ever, by Mel Brooks. Favorite actors include Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn. Black and white makes the movie even better. Great hoax of the real Frankenstein movie, just the right amount of outrageous comedy! AHd the movie recorded off TV on VHS for years, though it was about time to have it on high quality DVD, plus bonus features I never knew about the movie were great!Read full review...

A necessary blast from the past!!

I see what our kids today call "comedy" and a lot of it really isn't funny on it's own merits. I wanted my kids to see a truly hilarious movie that doesn't depend on blatant sex appeal & vulgarity. Just as I expected ... all of the kids (age range is 11 to 17) absolutely loved it. They've watched it repeatedly because they keep seeing things that they missed before. Gene Wilder is truly one of the masters of comedy!! You can't go wrong with this movie!Read full review...
