DVD Reviews of The Ghost And Mr. Chicken
DVD Review: great don knotts dvd
Summary: 5 Stars
a classic in great shape, prompt delivery. more than pleased!!! would highly recommend! thank you!!!DVD Review: The ghost gets tied up in Knotts
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many of my generation, I grew up watching this movie many times, and becoming enamored of the comedic genius of Don Knotts. He's made a handful of enjoyable comedies along the way, but none can compare to "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken". Here, the writers & producers came up with an irresistible idea: Take the world's most jittery, nervous underdog (Knotts) and plop him in a story as a would-be reporter talked into staying overnight in the town's "haunted house" to solve a 20-year old murder/suicide mystery.
This movie has hardly a dull spot as it moves along at a nice clip, and is a harmless "scare comedy" in the same spirit as those old Bob Hope (another classic "coward") and Abbott & Costello capers. When Knotts isn't doing anything interesting (except reacting to others in typical bug-eyed manner), eccentric townfolk pop in & out of frame to contribute hilariously (remember the Occult Women's Club or the obnoxious guy who would shout off-screen, "Attaboy, Luther!").
Knotts took a familiar character (done in many variations by Harold Lloyd, Bob Hope, Red Skelton, etc.) and made it his own. He's the odd little man who just knows in his heart he can do something...but being a comedy, he has great difficulty doing it.
TGAMC is slightly dated now, but still retains its comic punch in Knotts' encounters with the supernatural. And if you're like me, you'll be forever haunted by that creepy organ music!
DVD Review: THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN
Summary: 5 Stars
JUST GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!! STILL AS FUNNY AS THE FIRST TIME......MY FAMILY LOVED IT TOO.AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I STILL LAUGHED UNTILL I CRYED. A CLASSIC.............IF THERE WAS 6 OR 7 STAR RATEING THIS MOVIE WOULD GET. A MOVIE FOR ALL AGES.DVD Review: old favourite
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie really takes me back to my younger days when movies were simply funny and uncomplicated. Still loved it. It holds up well. Don Knotts was one of a kind.DVD Review: Who is the real ghost?
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this movie is one of Don Knotts standards. It is typical of the nervous type of character he portrays so well. He comes across as hyperactive, afraid of no one, but when the crunch comes he is there shaking all over, eyes wide and you can almost see his hair standing on end. A brilliant movie from a romantic era of movie making.
Description of The Ghost And Mr. Chicken
Remember watching this silly little comedy from your childhood? It may not have aged all that well, but is still goofy, good fun. Okay, so you can spot the stunt double, and Don Knotts's twitches are a little more obvious. Still, fans of his familiar routines will be comforted in knowing they can again watch their skinny underdog hero solve the ghost story while winning the prettiest girl in town. Knotts plays a trembling typesetter hoping to become a reporter by cracking the mystery of the local haunted house. To do so, he must spend a night there. Good-hearted, non-threatening, and completely gooey, this is the equivalent of light-weight cinematic junk food. -- Rochelle O'GormanGeneral DVDs
