  Underrated vampire spoof from master of parody, Mel Brooks; Dracula: Dead and Loving It is a fun horror comedy from start to finish. Though not as great as other Mel Brooks films, this is still a very funny film. This film will appeal to horror comedy fans as much as Mel Brooks fans. Very underrated, Dracula: Dead and Loving It is an entertaining film. The film has a pretty good cast of actors that deliver good performances that will make you crack up. Mel Brooks' take on the Dracula myth is very funny, at times uneven; but Brooks has a keen eye of how to make a good horror comedy. Although not as memorable as his previous horror comedy, Young Frankenstein; this film nonetheless is worth seeing. If you're a fan of comedy horror, or simply a Mel Brooks fan, Dracula Dead and Loving It is probably one of his most underrated films. Leslie Nielson brings great comic charm to the classic horror character. Although the film is imperfect, Dracula: Dead and Loving It is a fun film to watch with good gags and a zany cast. Mel Brooks has always made good flicks, but this is probably one of his most underrated works. The film is definitely not as bad as what everyone has claimed it to be. Sure, it's no Young Frankenstein, but this is still worth your time if you enjoy a mindless horror comedy. This film is underrated and really doesn't deserve all the flack it has received.

  This should of been top quality brooks stuff instead its very average. There are some good parts, the staking with Brooks, Neilsen as Dracula and McNicole as Renfield, but only here and there does it work. Overall its very childish and too silly, its also very poor looking, obvious sets. I really wanted to see some spooky, eerie landscapes, graveyards and old castles etc.. but its very plain, shame. Wanted to LOVE this soooo much but I just can't :( it just falls short of what it should be.

  Jonathan Harker: She's alive? Van Helsing: She's Nosferatu. Jonathan Harker: She's Italian? As with every Mel Brooks movie, Dracula: Dead and Loving It is incredibly stupid. With some of his movies like Blazing Saddles that's ok because they are extremely funny. That's not the case with this one. Every joke falls flat and it seems like the actors and Brooks knew the material wasnt very good, but what the hell, I'm Mel Brooks, people will watch it. Leslie Nielsen definitely is a very funny guy, but this movie just didn't give him much to work with. I thought it had a chance to be just a stupid fun hilarious time. Unfortunately, it was only stupid.

  As of this writing, this is the last Mel Brooks movie ever made. Is it particularly watershedding like his previous classics Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein? No, it's not, but that doesn't matter much. For me, ANY Mel Brooks movie is an event, regardless of quality. His comedies are so much more engaging, charming and memorable than any of the other comedies being released out there. Sure the jokes aren't consistent, and sure we've probably seen most of this already in other films, but I don't care. It's a Mel Brooks film, and that's something to celebrate. Personally, I love it and happy that he made it. :)

  A good decent spoof of Bram Stokers Dracula, and many a Hammer horror film. It has the king of spoof films in Leslie Nielsen being very silly indeed. Very light hearted by todays standards. A good fun film with some impressive sets I have to add!

  In "Dracula: Dead and Loving It," Leslie Nielsen stars as the demented, or clumsy for this time around, Count Dracula. Since he's a vampire, Dracula is still hungry for blood after all these years, and he'll do anything to find his prey. If you know Leslie Nielsen, then you know that this movie is a comedy. "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" is a halfway funny spoof of the classic Dracula films. However, it's not as good as the typical Leslie Nielsen attempt, at least not in my opinion. "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" has a few funny parts such as when Count Dracula has a 'daymare' and when his shadow gets a little aggressive in the background, but overall, it's not half as funny as it could've been. The movie is slow paced and only about half of the comedy stunts succeed as being funny. All the while during the movie, it also tells a sort of Dracula story. If you like comedy movies, I would recommend watching or renting "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" before you buy it. However, if you're a Dracula or Leslie Nielsen fanatic, you might want to go ahead and purchase it. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2001. One of Nielsen's worst movies, although sorta neat in a way.

  Have you ever wondered why Mel Brooks hasn't directed a movie since 1995? This is not Young Frankenstein. Hell, this isn't Young Einstein. This is probably the worst film I've ever seen in my life. I have had bowel movements after food poisoning that were more enjoyable and entertaining than this flaming pile of shit. Anyone that rates this film over two stars needs to be checked for mental retardation. If I had a gun I would have shot myself in the head after the first twenty minutes. That's how bad this turd is. I was physically ill when leaving the theater knowing that I had blown $1.50 and 90 minutes on this garbage. I could have spent that time in a more positive manner like clipping my toe nails or lying in a coma. I am warning you: stay away from this film.

  A passable horror comedy. Who'd have thought it?

  A Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielson movie which hits you over the head with its lameness. Quit it, Mel... you're killing us with your unfunniness. I was groaning at the lack of good jokes in this limp effort.

  Dreadful effort, the very premise of Nielsen emulating Lugosi should be enough to steer eveyone away, and sure enough, it's a disaster. It perhaps might have at least escaped as a flawed work, as Brooks at least has time for the piece, filling the 85 mins with staccato humour;… More
  Dreadful effort, the very premise of Nielsen emulating Lugosi should be enough to steer eveyone away, and sure enough, it's a disaster. It perhaps might have at least escaped as a flawed work, as Brooks at least has time for the piece, filling the 85 mins with staccato humour; barely a moment goes by without some lampoonery. The problem here is that it simply isn't funny, and as such the rapid-fire nature is both dull and aggravating. A special mention must go to the dreadful acting from the guy who played Harker, he's the worst of a bad bunch. As might be expected, most of the comedy is sexual, and comes off a politically correct and amusing as a Carry On relic. With a couple of decent laughs in it's entirety, it's perhaps a good thing that this put paid to Mel Brooks' career, sparing us more of this junk.

  Its as if Mel Brooks forgot how to be funny.

  Kinda funny, but kills its jokes by making them WAY too obvious. Not without its charm.

  Wow, is this thing bad. Like really, really bad. The biggest crime a spoof film can commit is not being funny but being stupid and Dracula DALI isn't just stupid it makes the boys from Dumb and Dumber look like Stephen Hawking and Sigmund Freud. Often in disastrously bad films… More
  Wow, is this thing bad. Like really, really bad. The biggest crime a spoof film can commit is not being funny but being stupid and Dracula DALI isn't just stupid it makes the boys from Dumb and Dumber look like Stephen Hawking and Sigmund Freud. Often in disastrously bad films like this there's at least one bit or two that can be sighted as having some merit. Such is not the case in Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielsen's career low points.

  I remember when I saw this in theaters. There was me and one other guy and he was snoring very loud lol. This could've and should've been funny with Mel Brooks directing it, but it's pretty flat and boring.

  With Leslie Nielsen in the leading role my expectations were high. Unfortunately this movie is terrible. If it was funnier I could've forgiven the bad script but that's not the case. I give it two stars for the decent acting and for the two hot chicks. You should avoid this… More
