Wenn der Name Frankenstein in Misskredit gerät, sind alle Familienmitglieder aufgefordert, an der Rehabilitation mitzuwirken. So auch Urenkel Frederik, angesehener Gehirnchirurg aus Baltimore. Doch ganz so einfach ist das nicht, wenn man auf Urgroßväterchens Schloss mit einem Faktotum zu tun hat, das dümmer ist als die Polizei erlaubt, und einem eine Assistentin zur Seite steht, deren körperliche Reize weit mehr hergeben als das blonde Köpfchen. So kann es nicht ausbleiben, dass es zu entsprechenden Pannen kommt, als man mit vereinten Kräften darangeht, nach den Plänen des Großvaters einen Kunstmenschen zusammenzubasteln. Als zu allem Überfluss auch noch Frederiks Verlobte auf dem Plan erscheint, geraten die Dinge total außer Kontrolle: Das Monster entwickelt sich zu einem wahren Intelligenzbolzen, während „Frankie Junior“ in Sachen Potenz monströse Züge annimmt.

    it’s a love letter to classic Universal monster films, stitched together with perfect comedic timing and brought to life by a cast who know exactly how far to push the absurdity. Shot in black and white and using original 1930s lab equipment, the film nails the gothic atmosphere so well that the jokes land even harder. Marty Feldman steals scenes with a single eyebrow twitch, Teri Garr radiates chaotic charm, and every line feels quotable, often because it is. It’s clever without being smug, silly without being stupid and timeless in a way most parodies never achieve. Whether you’re revisiting it or discovering it for the first time, Young Frankenstein remains one of the sharpest and funniest genre tributes ever made.

    Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein is what happens when you give a comedic genius a black-and-white camera, a castle full of questionable experiments, and a cast that fully commits to the absurd. It’s parody at its most intelligent and idiotic—often at the same time—and somehow that’s a compliment. Gene Wilder, as Dr. “Fronkensteen,” gives one of the great manic performances of cinema. He’s perfectly calm one moment and screaming “IT’S ALIVE!” the next, like a man who’s had too much caffeine and too little therapy. His ability to bounce between serious scientist and unhinged lunatic makes the entire film feel like it’s balancing on the edge of madness—and loving every minute of it. Peter Boyle’s Frankenstein monster deserves his own comedy award. Few actors could grunt, dance to “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” and still come across as oddly lovable. His chemistry with Madeline Kahn borders on dangerously funny—especially when things get a little, well, Brooksian in their suggestiveness. But the true secret weapon is Marty Feldman as Igor (that’s “Eye-gor,” thank you very much). His eyes alone deliver more comedy than most scripts, and his timing is impeccable. Every quip lands perfectly, every reaction feels spontaneous, and he somehow makes every scene a little weirder—in the best way possible. Brooks packs the movie with so many double entendres and clever nods to classic horror that you could watch it twice and still miss half the jokes (though you’d catch all the moans). The pacing is sharp, the humor timeless, and the whole thing plays like a love letter to both monster movies and the ridiculousness of human nature. In the end, Young Frankenstein isn’t just a parody—it’s a masterpiece of controlled chaos. It’s alive, it’s hilarious, and it proves once and for all that comedy really is an exact science.

    5 STARS! ***** Why have this title on PLEX, and you don't even carry it? The movie was made in 1993 for goodness sake, which was 32 years ago! It should be free to watch.

    Almost every line is a classic, love this movie!

    Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder team up for another of their genre parodies. I find these films better in the first viewing, where the jokes and their outlandish behavior delivers a surprise along with a good laugh. You should view Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1931) before playing this one.

    It's become a Halloween staple. It's funny, witty, and slapstick humor.

    One of the absolutely funniest films ever made. Gene Wilder is brilliant and hysterical!. One of Mel Brooks masterpiece of a film. I watched this all the time and never get tired of it.
