Summary: Super
Review: This hilarious take on human foibles is one of those epics like "Around the World In Eighty Days" that has just about everyone in it. Much of the comedy is slapstick, or raucous shouting. Highly entertaining.

Summary: Simply Fantastic
Review: From the haggling over how to split the money ("OK, you get 1 point for being in the car, 1 for going down the hill..."), to Mickey Rooney and Buddy Hackett doing "on the job" training as pilots, this movie is non-stop laughter. My kids can recite half the script word for word.

Summary: This one will be funny 500 years from now
Review: What is the best scene in this movie? Is it Phil Silvers trying to drive across a shallow stream or Dick Shawn trying to get to his momma or Terry Thomas trying to fight Milton Berle when they hit each other in the fist? How about Jonathan Winters riding the bike after it was run over or Sid Caesar trying to get out of a hardware store basement? You get the picture.. really you should get this picture. This is a funny film with about two good laughs a minute.

Summary: A VERY FUNNY MOVIE!
Review: This movie makes me laugh all the time. I will never forget seeing it
Rating:
Summary: THE BEST COMEDY EVER!
Review: The best comedy ever made, bar none. Every time I watch it, I never fail to enjoy it. It's good clean fun that everyone can watch, a true classic, from Jonathan Winters single-handedly destroying a service station to Buddy Hackett and Mickey Rooney flying the Beechcraft through a Coca Cola sign. Another reviewer mentioned some profanity--personally, I don't remember any, so I'm not sure to what part of the movie they were referring.

Summary: CLASSIC. Pure Gold. The Big-W of comedy.
Review: I'll summarize this film into three syllables: "Ha! Ha! Ha!" I have had this film for four years now and it's still as funny as the first day I saw it. The good thing is that it never gets old. Being the Who's-Who of American humour (containing about eighty vintage comedians doin' a schtick here and there). After sending his car off a cliff along a roadside, Schmiler Grogin (Jimmy Durante) tells seven tourists and one businessman about "350 G's in this box under a Big-W." The people speed off to find the $350,000 as they come across many oddjob characters. See it and if you got the dough, get it. Take my word for it!

Summary: Overblown but remarkable all-star comedy!
Review: As the first film I ever paid to see as a child (I was 11, and so proud of saving up the money!) I loved "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". It was slapstick on a grand scale, with a clever commentary on greed thrown in. And the cast! Tracy, Berle, Caesar, Silvers, Winters, Rooney, Hackett, Shawn, Terry-Thomas, Falk, Rochester...and the 3 Stooges had a bit part, along with Jack Benny, Jerry Lewis, Buster Keaton, so many more! For one of the first generation of 'TV Kids', I was in Heaven!With adulthood, and changing tastes, I can see some of the film's flaws...It's too long, Spencer Tracy is obviously in poor health and straining to keep his energy level up, some of the scenes (especially the early ones) lack pacing, and the Cinerama format almost guarantees you'll miss part of the action, even in a wide-screen format. But the film's sense of joy is undimmed, and the new digitally-remastered edition Amazon.com is offering gives them full attention. Enjoy again Rooney and Hackett's mishandling of an airplane, Jonathan Winter's gas station destruction scene (a classic!), and, of course the bodies-flying finale. And hang in there...After the film is a 'Making of...' documentary, with FABULOUS ancedotes by the surviving cast members...It alone is worth the cost of the film! After 36 years, I STILL love this movie!

Summary: The funniest movie ever made
Review: This is, by far the funniest movie ever made. Even after repeated viewings, it doesn't lose a thing. From Jimmy Durante kicking the bucket to Ethel Merman slipping on the banana peel, not a moment goes by without a laugh. My favorite was Dick Shawn rushing to his mother's rescue, the tears streaming down his cheeks. Makes todays comedies look as lame as they really are. The only reason I only give it 5 stars is because I can't give it more.

Summary: A clean comedy with some of the best actors of all time.
Review: If you like a clean comedy that the family can watch, this is the one. Any comment I have ever seen never does this movie justice. Many of the actors are now long gone, but they were some of the best. This movie will keep you laughing from the first to final frame.
Rating: 
Summary: I did not think this movie was funny at all.
Review: I got this movie, it having been highly recommended to me, and, I confess, I was disappointed. When the people were running around, they did not say funny things. This movie just made me tired. That mother-in-law especially made me tired. The only funny thing that was said was when the Furniture Man was trying to get away from the service station, and the two attendant guys said something to the affect of, "We'll just have to kill him." Also, I was disappointed that the movie had profanity in it.
