Summary: Good, but not great
Review: In "Dracula: Dead and Loving It," Leslie Nielsen stars as the demented, or clumsy for this time around, Count Dracula. Since he's a vampire, Dracula is still hungry for blood after all these years, and he'll do anything to find his prey.If you know Leslie Nielsen, then you know that this movie is a comedy. "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" is a halfway funny spoof of the classic Dracula films. However, it's not as good as the typical Leslie Nielsen attempt, at least not in my opinion. "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" has a few funny parts such as when Count Dracula has a 'daymare' and when his shadow gets a little aggressive in the background, but overall, it's not half as funny as it could've been. The movie is slow paced and only about half of the comedy stunts succeed as being funny. All the while during the movie, it also tells a sort of Dracula story. If you like comedy movies, I would recommend watching or renting "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" before you buy it. However, if you're a Dracula or Leslie Nielsen fanatic, you might want to go ahead and purchase it.

Summary: Laughing Gas???
Review: I think the other reviewers definatly were under the influence of laughing gas because I don't think I laughed once throughout the entire movie. This movie was absolutely terrible. It doesn't even deserve one star, because nothing about this one shines.

Summary: It's Good! I like it. I like Chickn. And Vine!
Review: This movie is a masterpiece! Every last actor and actress plays their part absolutely perfectly. How can anyone not love every performance, from Harvey Korman, Peter McNichol, Steven Weber, etc., right down to the guard tormenting Renfield through the slot: "Renfield, I can't take it anymore, can you take it ,Renfield?" Or the Theatre Lady with the message in the lobby for Dr. Seward. It's just awesome to have so many comic geniuses together in one Mel Brooks movie. This is way better than Young Frankenstein. Fantastic job, Mel.

Summary: "There's so much Blood!!!"
Review: I love this movie there is so many corks, comedic twist on the Dracula story itself, and clueless charactures you you can't help but roll on the floor laughing even the 12 time watching it. People usely think "vampiers, it's going to be a sacry movie" but this is far from it. There is so many funny lines like: "there's so much blood", "master! master! I mean... mister! mister!" you'll want to qoute them.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: This movie kept me laughing the whole time. Renfeild is hilarious, and Leslie Neilson does a great job as dracula.The plot is somewhat along the lines of the others but with a comedic twist.I love van Helsing to he is very funny.The rest of the cast is good to but Reinfeild is my favorite, he is such an idiot.The beggining is one of my favorite parts. The gypse woman is hilarious with her con artist like approach to Reinfeild.

Summary: The Rules
Review: Two of the rules that I have developed over the past 10 years for picking good movies and which have yet to be disproven are:
1. Don't bother watching any Mel Brooks films made after Blazing Saddle; and
2. Don't watch any Leslie Neilson comedies that aren't directed by the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker team.
Unfortunately, since there was nothing else on TV, I broke my own rules, and this film proves that both rules are still applicable. Mel Brooks has degenerated from clever satires with silly, but well-done scenes, to just plain bad silliness. Like all non-ZAZ Neilson comedies, Brooks' later films, Space Balls and beyond, all come off as badly done attempts to imitate Airplane! that just don't work. They all come off as purely juvenile drivel without the wit or directoral talents of the ZAZ team who know the importance of timing and deadpan delivery to good silly movies. It is sad that such brilliant people as Brooks and Neilson have taken to making suc!h unfunny, childish garbage.
Get a good Brooks film like High Anxiety, Blazing Saddles or the Producers, or get a good Neilson film like Airplane (1 only) or the Naked Gun movies instead.

Summary: Vampire Movie Critic
Review: When it comes to vampire movies, I am yet to see a serious vampire movie at least half as good as "Interview with the Vampire", or something as funny as "Dracula - Dead and Loving It". If you are tired of watching stupid vampire movies like "Dracula 2000", you'd be delighted to see this one.

Summary: A half effot for Mel Brooks
Review: I was pretty dissapointed with this one. I was expecting the same non stop antics and spoofs of the other Brooks films. It was almost like this film was rushed into production. Out of all of his films I've seen this one is the worst. I actually forced myself to finish it. There were a couple of funny scenes but few and far between for a Brooks film. I gave it one star based on his classics like Young frankenstein and Blazzing Saddles. This one doesnt hold a candle to those. Dont buy this film. Rent it if you must.

Summary: The best INTENTIONALLY funny Vampire Movie
Review: As with "Young Frankenstein" you sort of need to have seen the original Universal films (if not the Francis Ford Copolla version) to get all the jokes. This might be the favorite vampire movie for pre-teen kids. It sure is in my house. Leslie Nielsen has the Dracula role nailed in what is his best performance outside of the Police Squad movies (George Hamilton, eat your heart out). Mel Brooks is slightly over the top, but since when is that news? You have to go back to "Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein" to find something this funny involving vampires.
