I love this movie!!
Added 2/6/2010
When I saw Young Frankenstein for the first time, I laughed so hard through the movie that I forgot to eat my popcorn. I grew up with the black and white movie starring Boris Karloff - if you can, see the old movie first. My grandson, age 9, just got hooked too.

Once in a while you need to just enjoy it for what it is meant to be
Added 1/8/2010
Without looking for flaws or problems I just choose to enjoy this movie for the masterpiece that it is. Gene Hackman has an amazing role as the blind hermit, making this film as good as any comedy I've ever seen in his segment. It was years later before I realized the guy playing the monster, Peter Boyle is the dad on Everybody Loves Raymond. He's hilarious here in this movie. Marty Feldman could do anything he wanted to in the comedy genre and be entertaining, and this movie bears that out perfectly where Marty plays the part of Igor. Frau Blucher played by Cloris Leachman seems to be a role tailor made for her, and the mention of her name in the movie makes the horses nervous. Teri Garr has some moments in the film to make young boys successfully get through puberty, and Madeline Kahn is excellent for her portrayal of an annoying conceited nincompoop woman engaged to Gene Wilder's character - Dr. Frankenstein. Mel Brooks was the howl of a werewolf and the voice of a cat accidentally hit by a dart, but otherwise doesn't appear in this film - which really surprised me since he has important roles out in front for most of his movies. I thought attention to detail was good for the sets, and was pleasantly surprised by the casting. Very enjoyable, and definitely worth buying this DVD. If you want a high definition version, buy it in Blu-ray. Very entertaining and funny film. I recommend it without a doubt.

Mel Brooks Funniest Movie
Added 12/26/2009
I already own a DVD of Young Frankenstein but bought this for a family member. This is probably Mel Brooks best movie. Full of wonderful actors and acting this is a classic. Any fan of Mel Brooks should add this to their library.
