Silly fun March 19, 2009
Movieaholic
This is a silly monster movie from the 80's - lots of great one liners and Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley, Jr. make a great comedy team. There is even a very sexy Geena Davis (before the Fly and Cutthroat Island). Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfield)shows the physical comedy genius that he showed in UHF. Carol Kane's character is both adorable and irritaing and she plays it beautifully!

This is a great old comedy. I have shared it with my family and friends and everyone enjoys it. It'll make you laugh
thank you amazon for getting it to me
Dated, but hilarious... January 1, 2009
M. K. Montgomery (Omaha, NE USA)
It's very obviously made in the 80s, so there are parts that will make you cringe (the music, the hair, the jokes, etc.) Also, I can't imagine Romanians or Transylvanians are very fond of how their country is portrayed. However, Michael Richards is great! So are the monsters, especially the Wolf Man with hypertrichosis.
 A movie, definitely not a film November 21, 2008
Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States)
Some films deserve five stars for their brilliance and insightfulness. If that's what you're looking for, what the heck are you doing here? This movie is fun, silly, and very campy. It's actually pretty completely ludicrous. But fun. Heck, it's cheap and you should watch it with friends. With alcohol.

I hadn't watched this film before because I'd been swayed by Leonard Maltin's shortest ever film review on Entertainment Tonight: after bobbing his head to a few seconds of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, he just said, "'Transylvania 6-5000.' Stinks." (IMDB says he said 'Stunk,' but I remember him saying 'Stinks.')
I finally rented the DVD after enjoying Jeff Goldblum's performance in "Pittsburgh." If you see "Transylvania 6-5000," I recommend watching "Pittsburgh" if you haven't already, and vice-versa.
The director, Rudy De Luca worked on several Mel Brooks films, and at times this feels likes a cross between Brooks' "Young Frankenstein" and Merrie Melodies' "Transylvania 6-5000" Bugs Bunny cartoon from 1963. I laughed more than I did during Brooks' mid-eighties films; I especially appreciated the surgeon who says "you don't lobotomy, I don't lobotoyou" and the newspaper editor's confusion about a Rope Factory.
I forgot to listen to the audio commentary before I returned the disc. I wanted to find out more about what DOW chemical company had to do with the film. IMDB mentions DOW funded the film to make use of frozen finances in Yugoslavia.
