This will be short and to the point - I was not overwhelmed by this movie. I saw it live in the movie theatre and now own it on DVD, but frankly, despite the rave reviews by so many other critics, I simply do not find this movie "hilarious".
It is well acted, (terrific cast!) well-directed, and the sets are fantastic, but the jokes are so tongue-in-cheek and so laid-back that they failed to move me to laughter. I did smile a few times, but over all, I was not overwhelmed by this 1970's comedy.
Sorry I disagree with the majority, but as far as comedies go, this gets just 3 of 5 stars from me.

This is one of Mel Brook's best. A great cast and is a staple in our household for Halloween. It can be watched many times and still make you laugh.
Knee-slapping funny, every time [Posted on 2008-12-06]
I recently repurchased this movie on DVD after owning a VHS copy for years. What makes this movie a classic is that, 35 years later, people can still recall the most hilarious moments and lines in the movie, even if they haven't viewed it in years. A real strength is that something funny is going on in almost every frame of the movie, even if it is just something visible or going on the background. The quality of the supporting cast and the characters they play are outstanding: Marty Feldman's Igor, with the moveable hump, Cloris Leachman's dour Frau Blucher (and the equine terror raised in response to her name), Peter Boyle's Frankenstein (who can forget him dancing and singing to Putting on the Ritz?), and Gene Hackman's little gem of a cameo as the blind man. When DVD goes the way of VHS, I will buy this movie again in the new format.

My husband made the remark he would love to have this
old DVD but doubted he would ever find it. I went into
Amazon, found it immediately, and it arrived in a very
short time, sooner than I expected and in very good
condition. The look on his face made my Christmas!!
