DVD Reviews of Young Frankenstein
DVD Review: One of Mel Brooks's finest!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Young Frankenstein" is definitely a comic classic. It has hilarious dialogue, lovely visual gags, and social satire (that's obviously found in the original "Frankenstein"). But this is funny social satire! Gene Wilder is brilliant as the young Frankenstein (pronounced Frahn-ken-shteen), while the late Marty Feldman is a laugh riot as Igor (pronounced Eye-Gore). Teri Garr is attractive as Inga ("Roll in ze hay!"), while the late Peter Boyle is fantastic as the Frahn-ken-shteen's latest creation. And let's not forget Cloris Leachman as Blucher("He vas my BOYFRIEND!")! Overall, if you don't laugh more than five times from beginning to end, then you've got a serious problem.
A+
DVD Review: Hilarious Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't resist this movie. This is a classic comedy that I've watched over and over through the years. We're huge fans of Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle and Madeline Kahn. They're characterizations are so hilarious. If you're looking for a first rate comedy, this one is worth your time. DVD Review: young franknstein
Summary: 5 Stars
This is very very funny movie. Saw it years ago found it in a store but when I went back to get it was gone. A must see movieDVD Review: Comparison of Anamorphic Release and "Special Edition"
Summary: 4 Stars
Lest readers' noses find themselves getting out of joint, please understand that Young Frankenstein itself is five stars all the way. However, the release, not the film, is under review here, so bear with me and read on.
First, the content of the newer, anamorphic release--including the menus, extras, and commentaries--is identical to that of the older Special Edition which it replaces. This is a good thing because Fox has apparently decided to go just as cheapo as the other studios by not including a hard-copy chapter index. One was included with the Special Edition and since the chapters are exactly the same (unlike, say, Some Like It Hot, in which the two releases are divided differently), I retained it for my upgrade copy. While in the process of making the switch, I also noticed that the Special Edition's DVD case was made of heavier, sturdier plastic, so I swapped out the cover art as well (although I actually prefer the old cover art to the new, and the copy is also identical; in fact, I prefer everything about the Special Edition except the fact that it's not anamorphic).
I compared both prints by watching half of the film on each disk and frankly, I can't see or hear a difference in quality or aspect ratio. I don't have a widescreen TV (yet...hope springs eternal), so the fact that the new release is anamorphic doesn't mean anything to me at present.
Bottom line: unless you have a widescreen set, you probably shouldn't bother upgrading your copy. Given the ins and outs of DVD production, it's not unlikely that yet ANOTHER release will turn up by the time you purchase a new TV, so might as well get as much mileage as you can until then.
DVD Review: Zany
Summary: 5 Stars
What a classic! You will laugh all thru this movie. I can't stop laughing when I see Marty Feldman and that wicked eye.
Description of Young Frankenstein
Mel Brooks' monstrously crazy tribute to Mary Shelley's classic pokes hilarious fun at just about every Frankenstein movie ever made. Summoned by a will to his late grandfather's castle in Transylvania young Dr. Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) soon discovers the scientist's step-by-step manual explaining how to bring a corpse to life. Assisted by the hunchback Igor (Marty Feldman) and the curvaceous Ings (Teri Garr) he creates a monster (Peter Boyle) who only wants to be loved.System Requirements:Running Time: 130 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?PG UPC:?024543371571 Manufacturer No:?2237157If you were to argue that Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein ranks among the top-ten funniest movies of all time, nobody could reasonably dispute the claim. Spoofing classic horror in the way that Brooks's previous film Blazing Saddles sent up classic Westerns, the movie is both a loving tribute and a raucous, irreverent parody of Universal's classic horror films Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Filming in glorious black and white, Brooks re-created the Frankenstein laboratory using the same equipment from the original Frankenstein (courtesy of designer Kenneth Strickfaden), and this loving attention to physical and stylistic detail creates a solid foundation for nonstop comedy. The story, of course, involves Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) and his effort to resume experiments in re-animation pioneered by his late father. (He's got some help, since dad left behind a book titled How I Did It.) Assisting him is the hapless hunchback Igor (Marty Feldman) and the buxom but none-too-bright maiden Inga (Teri Garr), and when Frankenstein succeeds in creating his monster (Peter Boyle), the stage is set for an outrageous revision of the Frankenstein legend. With comedy highlights too numerous to mention, Brooks guides his brilliant cast (also including Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, and Gene Hackman in a classic cameo role) through scene after scene of inspired hilarity. Indeed, Young Frankenstein is a charmed film, nothing less than a comedy classic, representing the finest work from everyone involved. Not one joke has lost its payoff, and none of the countless gags have lost their zany appeal. From a career that includes some of the best comedies ever made, this is the film for which Mel Brooks will be most fondly remembered. Befitting a classic, the Special Edition DVD includes audio commentary by Mel Brooks, a "making of" documentary, interviews with the cast, hilarious bloopers and outtakes, and the original theatrical trailers. No video library should be without a copy of Young Frankenstein. And just remember--that's Fronkensteen. --Jeff Shannon
