Welcome to one of the funniest comedies of all time. It is dialog like this that takes it to another level. It is not as black humour as, say, Monty Python, but it is still in the black vein, rather than the silly department. It has great surprising gags and crazy dialog all the way through, to make it a solid and balanced comedy without any dull moments. It does sort of pay tribute to the original Frankenstein movie from the thirties, but the plot is totally screwd.
If there ever was a role that was made for Marty Feldman, this is it. He is so funny as the hooded, hunchbagged butler in tights. He carries the largest weight of the movie on his slim shoulders. But the whole cast seems to have great fun and they all fit their role fine. And Gene Wilder, is Gene Wilder. It would not be nice to spoil the movie for you by exposing the gags here, so let me just say that if you find the kind of dialog above funny, you will love this movie
Rating: 10/10
