Rating_fullRating_fullRating_fullRating_fullRating_empty Boris Makes this Movie
This film, while filled with such luminaries as Basil Rathbone, I really feel is taken away by Boris Karloff as the doddering old father. Highly recommend this film!!!

Rating_fullRating_fullRating_fullRating_fullRating_full Original and funny!
Hilarious I give it five stars... of course the wife sounds like crap and "shrill" when she sings thats the whole point but they have to make more movies like this. It's original and funny.

Rating_fullRating_fullRating_fullRating_emptyRating_empty So So
One of the reviews paralleled it to Young Frankenstein--this was no Young Frankenstein--so I watched. It was uber-predictable and I get that the wife's singing was supposed to be bad but come on! I watched it and there were some sort of funny parts but all in all I wish I'd skipped this one. The reviews that glorified the movie were misleading.

Rating_fullRating_emptyRating_emptyRating_emptyRating_empty Wow, is this bad.
There's been alot of great reviews for this film but I can't understand why. The entire thing is unwatchable. Price is annoying as a drunken wife hating funeral director. The wife played by Joyce Jameson, is so shrill when she sings you MUST mute it. Basil Rathbone is dull and Petere Lorre simply doesn't suck horribly. Boris Karloff is typically fun to watch except here...the rest of the movie is so bad that he fades into the background. I forced myself to sit through this. Im even writing this review as it plays...sadly it just keeps getting worse. I didn't laugh once and I had to find some diversion from staring at the screen so I wrote this review. If you've got an hour and 23 minutes to spare don't waste it here.

There is one reedeming quality however, Joyce Jameson is hot. Very MILFY.

Rating_fullRating_fullRating_fullRating_fullRating_full SO CLEVER AND STILL TICKLY
Slapstick, Satire and a Full Frontal of British humor. Loved the cast and charachters in this smart and twisted spoof. Never thought of Basil as a comedian...priceless!

Rating_fullRating_fullRating_fullRating_fullRating_full Very nice
Lotta stuff that will never be used again, what ever happened to the days where comedy didn't include the toilet and foul language?

Very funny movie.

Rating_fullRating_fullRating_fullRating_fullRating_full Hilarious!
Laughs all the way through! I always knew Vincent Price and Peter Lorre could be funny, but who could have thought the same of Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone?? Almost every line in this movie was funny! If you love old horror movies and slapstick comedy (and poking fun at long shakespearean death scenes), this movie is perfect for you!

Rating_fullRating_fullRating_fullRating_fullRating_empty Very Funny
I liked the style of this film and its cast. How could you get better than Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and Basil Rathbone all making fun of themselves. The cat also did an excellent job. The death scene at the end is really entertaining and not to be missed.
