Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times -
Mel Brooks is home with Young Frankenstein, his most disciplined and visually inventive film (it also happens to be very funny).
|
|
TV Guide Magazine -
Brooks's most accomplished work, combining his well-known brand of comedy with stylish direction and a uniformly excellent cast.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
Young Frankenstein (1974) and High Anxiety are as much loving homage as irreverent spoof.
|
|
The New York Times -
As played by Gene Wilder in Mel Brooks's funniest, most cohesive comedy to date, this Dr. Frankenstein is a marvelous addled mixture of young Tom Edison, Winnie-the-Pooh, and your average Playboy reader with a keen appreciation of beautiful bosoms.

|
Empire -
A perfect example of early Brooks firing on all spoofily comedic cylinders.
