In 1995, it was promising to hear that Mel Brooks was creating "the companion piece to Young Frankenstein." He had also brought in the heavyweight of deadpan--Leslie Nielsen. As Lt. Frank Drebin in the Police Squad movies, Nielsen has no peer for silly stuff--just the player Brooks would seem to need for a strong movie, as any fan of Brooks perpetually hopes a new film may rekindle his madcap magic. Alas, the end results in Dracula: Dead and Loving It include a sprinkling of amusements and one big belly laugh. Brooks and his writers use a very tight adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel, but the spoofs can be spelled out as we go, as if they are paint-by-number. Some are jabs at Coppola's version of Dracula, but most are attached to classic Dracula films. If any real pleasure comes from the movie it's thanks to the efforts of the cast. Peter MacNicol plays the crazed Renfield to the letter, Steven Weber has a good time as the tight British Harkin, and Lysette Anthony charms as the doomed Lucy. Brooks and Nielsen ham it up just fine. There's even a surprisingly controlled performance by Harvey Korman (a character spoofing Anthony Hopkins's role in the misfire The Road to Wellville). As with Brooks's period comedies, the film looks better than it needs to and includes a few tricky special effects for good measure. This has nothing to do with the audience laughing--we need bigger jokes. And when you double over laughing in one scene--involving a stake through the heart and a bucket of blood--you want the movie to achieve Brooks's days of glory, when hearty laughter was the norm, not an isolated moment. --Doug Thomas

Customer Reviews of Dracula: Dead and Loving It

hahahahahahaha
This spoof of the Dracula myth follows closely to the Bela Lugosi film of 1930. As a matter of fact, when I c the Bela film today I must admit it isn`t hard to find a parody in it. <

>Leslie Nielsen, Peter MacNicol, Harvey Korman, Mel Brooks, Anne Bancroft and Steven Weber are all ace in a lavish production that manages both to be exciting and humoures.... A REAL DELIGHT:-)


Liked it better than Young Frankenstein
Young Frankenstein was a very carefully constructed and structured screenplay. I howled at it when it first came out, but at subsequent watchings I just know where the laughs should be, but I don't laugh. Unlike another reviewer, I don't think it's Brooks' masterpiece. Unless like Mark Twain said, a classic is a book everyone praises and nobody reads. I love Mel Brooks. He, Woody Allen, Neil Simon, Noel Coward, Kaufman & Hart, and Jean Kerr are my 20th century comedy heroes. But be that as it may. I like Brooks' looser stuff, less rigidly put together. Dracula fills the bill. I had poor sound when I watched it, so I missed much of the dialogue, but what I heard and saw I thought was hilarious. I can see where in the old days Madeline Kahn and Gene Wilder would have fit in. I loved this movie, despite what it says on the box there is no sex (damn) and no gore (besides a big bucket of blood in the face, twice) in it. I highly recommend this movie to any fan of Mel Brooks. In fact the only Brooks movies I really don't like are Spaceballs (probably because I've never seen the movies it's supposed to be making fun of) and The Producers, which is a perfectly good movie, I just don't like seeing the hero lose. And I prefer Mel Brooks movies with Mel Brooks in them. I think he's great.


Dracula Dead and (Im) Loving it.
I and my 10 year old daughter laught till we are blue in the face. The "Last Word" skit is priceless and it takes someone like Leslie Nielsen to play off Mel Brooks in this kind of movie. The music, the costuming and the sets are a wonderfull nod to the good old days of Universals Dracula. If you liked Belas Dracula, then this movie will feel like an old friend come by again to share a laugh.
