Young Frankenstein Reviews

This movie was really funny. I am going for the review length badge. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

This is THE blueprint for modern comedy… running gags, lewd humor, silly characters with unique quirks, and most importantly good writing and cast….. not a remake but a story inspired by an original work. Hope there’s a reset in Hollywood to start making films like the classics 🎞️

Immensely funny Mel Brooks comedy. The sets and style lovingly re-create what James Whale did in 1931 with his ‘Frankenstein’. Gene Wilder is terrific and everyone commits to the bits very well. I still prefer Brooks’ ‘The Producers’ but this was great

8/10 egor not eyegor? frankenstien not frankenstein??? hahahahah hilarious

I remember watching this a lot as a kid (the adult humor went way over my head) and watched again recently for the first time in years and it’s still really good. Funny. Gene Wilder’s eyes are mesmerizing in this.

I loved this style of comedy, some of it was well thought out and some of it was complete random, the generous mixture of both was great. Marty Feldman as Igor was one of the funniest stand alone characters I’ve ever seen. The noir style was a great choice. So many good bits.

Pure Gold dark comedy with the best leading man i could ever think of for this. Gene Wilder is fantastic and the humor in this is insane for 70s.

Subtly funny
