A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The acting in this movie is really good.

How anyone can give this less than 8 stars must be related to my old lady. Does not understand comedy. Never watched Dracula with Bela Lugosi. Never read Bram Stoker's Dracula. This movie is hysterically funny. If you don't laugh in the first 10 minutes then you have no sense of humor. Amy Yasbeck, Harvey Korman, Mel Brooks, Leslie Nielsen, Steven Weber, Peter Macnicol, etc... the whole cast is underrated. The commentary is absolutely rich. Never wAtch commentary. They actually make this even more hilarious.

One of the best sub-genres of movies is comedy-horror and this is one of the best films in that category. While Dracula maybe "Dead and Loving It" I am loving this movie, it is among my all time favorite comedy-horror flicks.This is one of Mel Brook's most hysterically funny films... well, I guess most all of his films are that way. And I will take a moment to plug Brook's "Young Frankenstein" movie because it is just as much of a must see comedy-horror as "Dracula: Dead and Loving It".If you like "Dead and Loving It" then you may like a similar film called "Love At First Bite".9/10

Like others, I had heard many awful things about Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995). Given the quality of Mel Brooks' cinematic output after the 1980s, I assumed this was going to be terrible, but once I got twenty minutes in, I was surprised at how much I was laughing. This is a solid parody of the cinematic versions of Dracula, spoofing everything from the silent Nosferatu (1922) to the then-recent Ford Coppola version. Of course, most of the humor is derived from the now-campy 1931 classic, but luckily, the jokes are never mean-spirited and it's obvious (as it was in Young Frankenstein) that Brooks and the other cast members have a lot of love for the Universal Horrors of the 30s and 40s while admitting their hokier aspects.Sure, some of the gags are stupid (the enema running gag is the epitome of childish but hilarious humor). And some of the scenes seem to be there only to pad the running time (the first dance scene between Dracula and Mina (the one without the mirror) comes to mind). However, the actors all do amazing jobs, especially Peter MacNicol as Renfield, who does such a spot-on impersonation of Dwight Frye that you cannot help but be impressed. He also steals the show from even Leslie Nielson and Harvey Korman, both funny, funny men.Is it Young Frankenstein (1974)? Not at all, but it's a pleasant spoof with more hits than misses.

Mel Brooks, a 85-year old American director and producer genius. He has made many a good movie. He is the king of spoofs. I could write many pages just about how great he is, but I'm not going to, for your sake.This movie was a delight to watch in the time of all hallows eve. Leslie Nielsen always makes me laugh, whether he has a naked gun, is on an airplane, is the president of the United States of America or something else. He is a treasure. He is just plain awesome. He is gold! Peter MacNicol, Steven Weber and Amy Yasbeck are pretty good too. They sure do a more than decent jobs in this movie.To finish this I will just say this was a movie well worth watching, I recommend it, it is a good movie to watch especially on Halloween.I give it 7.5 stars out of a possible perfect 10.Arrividerci! Bon Soir! Buenos Noches! Good Night and sleep tight ;-) Shevy
