DVD Reviews of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

DVD Review: All-time Childhood Favorite!
Summary: 5 Stars

Still love It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, after 40+ years! My kids enjoy it, too, and the line where our playboy is "coming for you momma" is a favorite of my son's!
The hilarity and fast-paced plot, even by today's standards, still enthralls as they race to find the buried treasure. A universal theme, but without the fear-element of more modern renditions.

DVD Review: GREATEST
Summary: 5 Stars

The first time I saw this movie was two days after its premiere at the brand new Cinerama dome in Hollywood. What a great way to spend my 16th birthday. It was and continues to be my favorite comedy. It is a side splitter from the time Jimmy Durante went off the road and kicked the bucket to the banana peel, I laughed till I cried

DVD Review: GREAT FLICK!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is not only a great film, but a DVD of perfect quality! Originally saw this movie in Cinerama at a theater in Kansas City while my class was on our Senior Sneak in 1964!

DVD Review: wild and funny movie
Summary: 4 Stars

I was at work and we were talking about funny movies my choice was its mad mad mad world. The movie was from so long ago, I was surprised how many people agreed and knew of the movie.

Description of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

Stanley Kramer's sprawling 1963 comedy about a search for buried treasure by at least a dozen people--all played by well-known entertainers of their day--is the kind of mass comedy that Hollywood hasn't made in many years. (Another example from around the same time is Blake Edwards's The Great Race.) After a number of strangers (including Milton Berle, Jonathan Winters, Sid Caesar, Phil Silvers, and others) witness a dying stranger (Jimmy Durante) identify the location of hidden money, a conflict-ridden hunt begins, watched over carefully by a suspicious cop (Spencer Tracy). The ensuing two and a half hours of mayhem has its ups and downs--some bits and performers are certainly funnier than others. But Kramer, who is better known for socially conscious, serious cinema (Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?), is in a mood for broad comic characterization, and some of his jokes are so intentionally obvious (Durante literally kicks a bucket when he dies), they'd have a place in Airplane! Watch for lots of cameo appearances, including Jerry Lewis (who had called Kramer and asked him why he hadn't been invited to participate). --Tom Keogh
