very funny and charming comedy that spoofs one of the great horror stories ever written. the cast was perfectly chosen and the unfolding of the end was well mapped out. another solid output from mel brooks.
Awesome spoof!! The fog, the lab, the cinematography all honor the classic. The sexual innuendo, name play, and Puttin' on the Ritz are hilarious.
I love this due to its subject matter, gothic horror and Frankenstein's Monster :) the fact that its a Brooks spoof makes it even better. Possibly the best spoof ever made YF is sheer genius in so many ways. The look of the film is actually very good and quite accurate to its ori...( read more)
This is a very funny film. A Mel Brooks classic. This is a spoof on all the old Frankenstein movies and tales. Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman and Peter Boyle are very funny in this. Though Spaceballs is my all time favorite mel Brooks film I still think this is one of his best work....( read more)

The cast? Well Gene Wilder at his peak with Terri Garr...the late Marty Feldman, amazingly talented Madelein Kahn and underrated Peter Boyle as the monster.
The musical Young Frankenstein closes on Broadway January 4, 2009! See the show before it is too late!
With out a doubt the funniest movie I have ever seen! Period. So many classic funy lines. The black & white was a perfect touch. I honestly can't pick who was the funiest actor in the movie.

You cavalier comic... you dastardly deviant... you silly satirist... You gargantuan genius! Fantastic! All of them, utterly hilarious!
