Dracula: Dead and Loving It
5,219
Comedy
Another spoof from the mind of Mel Brooks. This time he's out to poke fun at the Dracula myth. Basically, he took "Bram Stoker's Dracula," gave it a new cast and a new script and made a big joke out of it. The usual, rich English are attacked by Dracula and Dr. Van Helsing is brought in to save the day.

United States | ReelViews | "Dracula: Dead and Loving It doesn't come close to the level attained by Young Frankenstein. It's a toothless parody that misses more often than it hits." | NEG |
United States | SFGATE | "It has enough jokes to keep it moving and enough distinctly Brooksian gags to make it required viewing for his fans." | POS |
United States | The Washington Post | "Dracula is anemic and mediocre, with only one or two moments to remind you of the former, funnier Brooks." | NEG |
United States | IndieWire | "Dracula: Dead and Loving It' is the ultimate Mel Brooks movie; if not his funniest work (okay, definitely not his funniest work) then certainly his Mel Brooksiest." | POS |
United Kingdom | Empire | "Woefully misconceived, chucking in Leslie Nielsen in an attempt to milk a few more laughs and failing miserably (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)" | NEG |
United States | The New York Times | "Slight but amusing." | NEU |
