Young Frankenstein
Description
A young man working as a neurosurgeon, he spent his whole life in the hope of one, the legend of his grandfather Frankenstein. The doctor tried repeatedly to prove to people that he was honest about his grandfather and that he was not as crazy as others thought. After a while, luck serves him to find the doctor himself a heir to a large castle for the grandfather of the deceased, and then discovers that mystery is hidden in the process that saves the dead body.

Thus funny, well acted parody of Unievrsal horror films of the 1930s is without a doubt Mel Brooks' best picture.
June 20, 2015
... Brooks reveal(s) himself a true obsédé and an honorable heir to the eerily delicate comic-horror tradition of James Whale.
June 04, 2007
More about the myth of Karloff than the monster, this Mel Brooks pastiche is probably his best early film.

Brooks' corniness yields plenty of belly laughs.
June 24, 2006
For a really delightful parody, James Whale's own Bride of Frankenstein is far better value.

The Brooks of 'Young Frankenstein' isn't really skewering the conventions of the horror movie - he's paying tribute to them, and using them as scaffolding for his particular brand of goofy, Borscht Belt burlesque.

It is good-natured, lowbrow, backlot, hit-or-miss humor, but with no cumulative effect beyond its succession of hard-worked jokes.

It's a wonderful, iconic comedy. Mel Brooks' masterpiece!
October 23, 2004
It shows artistic growth and a more sure-handed control of the material by a director who once seemed willing to do literally anything for a laugh. It's more confident and less breathless.

One of Mel Brooks' most brilliant and immortal cinematic works to date...

Wilder's hysteria seems perfectly natural. You never question what's driving him to it; his fits are lucid and total. They take him into a different dimension -- he delivers what Harpo promised.

Some of the gags don't work, but fewer than in any previous Brooks film that I've seen, and when the jokes are meant to be bad, they are riotously poor. What more can one ask of Mel Brooks?
