    Fun and then some.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 16, 2007

    Pros: Great extras, commentary, digitalized

    Cons: Nothing

    I grew up on this movie and there is no bad thing to be said. All the actors were in ther prime and the casting is perfect; timing is everything. It may be a bit on the raunchy side for younger viewers if they are unfamiliar with the Frankenstein his...tory and Mary Shelley. However, that should not deter a genuine interest. Many comedic one-liners make this a true gem. Dialogue has spunk and I respect the effort that it took to get this film made. Read more Less

    Pros: Just very funny

    Cons: None, I think

    This is just a clasic movie, A must have for any movie collector. Dry humor and sexual suggestion are around every bend.

    Pros: The Picture gave me a great laugh on a "touchy" subject

    Cons: One has to keep the brains that God gave one!

    I liked the performances of all the actors and actresses involved in the film. The special effects were appro pos, or something. (Need some more of those "crunchy granola bars"). A horse is a horse, and I wounldn't want Frau Blucher a...nywhere near mine! Everyone desires solitude at one time or another, though hopefully at the time and place of one's own choosing. Even at Midnight, we may sometimes see into the light. A lot of electric traffic out there. First saw the film as a first run at Mayland Cinema, Mayfield Hts., Ohio in 1974. Wish the best to Gene Wilder. My condolences and heartfelt sorrow at the passing of Gilda Radner. Some folks will attempt to hide almost or even unbearable pain from their loved ones. Hope that you like "Point of Know Return". My sentiments exactly, except for that dumb car commercial. You know the one, from the people who brought us Pearl Harbor. A man has to say what he feels, and don't get me wrong I love Read more Less

    "Puttin' on the Ri-i-i-i-i-itts

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 19, 2003

    This movie is hysterical! Our family watches it only once a year on Halloween. There are so many good liners (Frau Blucher ^Neigh^) (Her name was "Abby Normal") and 'goof ups'. This is a must have movie! And it does "Put on the... Ri-i-i-tts!" Read more Less

    A Classic that Ranks with the Best

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 5, 2001

    In 1974, Mel Brooks gave his mighty one-two punch as actor, writer, and director (which he did all superbly) with two big hits - "Young Frankenstein" and "Blazing Saddles." Both had memorable characters, lots of uproarious laughs, and as for "Franke...nstein," who can ever forget Gene Wilder's Frankenstein getting Peter Boyle's clumsy, inarticulate monster to dance to "Putting On the Ritz?" This monster hit, along with "Saddles," will always be gems I could watch forever and ever and ever. Read more Less

    Mel Brooks' Best

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 6, 2000

    My favorite Mel Brooks movie. A hilarious combination of slapstick scenes, double entendres and innuendos. Includes usual Brooks characters Gene Wilder and Madeline Kahn. Peter Boyle is brilliant as the monster. A must-see for the Brooks fan; if you... didn't like Spaceballs or Blazing Saddles, you still should enjoy this movie. Read more Less

    Classic

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 26, 2000

    It does not matter how old this movie is and what it will become, it will always be remembered as one Mel Brooks' classic movies along side Blazzing Saddles & To be or not to be. Unfortunately Brooks cannot muster the same effect as he used to have ...on everyones funny bone, including my own; as much as I want him too. The fact that it is shot entirely in B/W just goes to show its own self confidence that it can carry itself off without the use of color. Classic perfomances by Gene Wilder and Terry Garr (aswell as Marty Feldman) make this a comedy masterpiece never to be repeated, especially the cameo scene with Gene Hackman, classic acting, writting and directing. This movie will always make me laugh and without the aid of any 'uppers'... Read more Less

    Should have been #1

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 14, 2000

    This film by Mel Brooks should have topped the AFI list. It's the funniest movie I've ever seen. I would welcome a Travolta-esque comback for Gene Wilder.
