Summary: Smell the Glass!!
Review: I think Peter Dahlin (up a few commentaries) and Leonard Maltin must be related or something. I think this movie is a GAS!! (pththt) Oops! There is nothing un-funny in it! Some people just don't know how to sit back, relax and have fun.
DON'T ANALYZE IT, JUST WATCH IT AND LAUGH:o)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Take off your thinking cap
Review: Please don't press play with the expectation of doing any higher learning. Just go with it. I, too, recall this one fondly from my childhood and I couldn't wait for it to be released on DVD. The early appearance by Michael "Cosmo Kramer" Richards is worth the purchase price by itself, not to mention Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis in roles they might rather forget. All that notwithstanding, my favorite two characters have to be Lupi and Radu. What a marriage!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Stealing the movie from the stars
Review: Sometimes the funniest bits are not from the so-called stars. My husband and I love this movie only for certain parts. Forget Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley Jr! The parts featuring Carol Kane, Joseph Bologna, and John Byner are excellent and hilarious. They stole the movie! You can tell they had fun doing this one. Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley Jr and Michael Richards weren't very funny, mostly just silly. Still, this is in our collection.

Summary: Transylvania 6-5000
Review: This is an excellent movie. I saw it years ago when it first came out. Then, after a long, exhaustive search, I found it on VHS format after it was out of print. I am thrilled to have found it on DVD format.

Summary: Proving Once Again That Jeff's Best Work Was In the 80's
Review: This is one of many movies that proves Jeff Goldblum had magic in the eighties. Once he ditched comedy in the late 90's, his career didn't seem as steady and us 80's fans were left in the cold. Then along came the wonderful invention called DVD...

Being an 80's child I must have slept through this one because I hadn't heard of this movie before watching it. I got it on a whim and because I read it was sort of silly, I didn't anticipate much. I ended up liking it very much. The film was not corny at all but lathered in the right amount of 80's, slapstick humor. All the characters were wonderful including Geena Davis ( former Mrs. Goldblum ) who had only a few lines as a wannabe vampire. Ed Begley was as goofy as ever but that's part of his charm. He and Jeff Goldblum were a riot and it made me wonder why comedy isn't as funny these days as it was in the 80's. This was good clean, Saturday Night Live type-humor when SNL was good! Hold onto your seats with this one! It's full of chills and tip top adventures. A definite must see for comedy lovers! If you enjoyed the comedy of Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, you'll enjoy this funny buddy movie about vampire babes and hilarious monsters!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I don't care what anyone else says, this movie is funny!
Review: This movie is one of the few minor horror comedies I watched when I was six years old that still holds up today while I'm almost twenty-two.I recommend the DVD for the stories director Rudy DeLuca tells about how he'd wanted Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari for Goldblum and Begley's respective parts but New World didn't know Tom Hanks (Hah!) And how Ed Begley recommended his good friend Michael Richards for the part of Fejos and Richards ad-libbed almost everything that he did.

My personal favorite line, after Geena Davis' lady Dracula attacks Ed Begley's character:

Begley: Do you smell perfume?

Goldblum: Yes! And I know what was in this room!

Begley: What?

Goldblum: The Creature from Estee Lauder!
