The movie isn't great, but Leslie Nielsen as Dracula? He totally stakes it. Instead of saying he nailed it, I said he staked it, cause it's a vampire role. Oh, that seems stupid? Well, the twelve to fifteen people that enjoyed this movie would be laughing themselves silly!

This is almost a straight-up remake of Dracula rather than a spoof, which is the problem; it's just not amusing unless you're a Dracula fanatic. But I love Dracula, so I appreciated both the obvious and surprisingly subtle nods to the 1931 Lugosi film, Hammer Films' Dracula schlock, and Coppola's adaptation. Peter MacNicol's Renfield is perfect. Brooks clearly loves and appreciates Dracula and it shows, but he focused so heavily on paying tribute that he neglected to make it funny.

I love Mel Brooks, and i Love Leslie Nielsen, so this had to be a winner. It was NOT.

I was disappointed; there are a few genuinely funny scenes, and I like how some of it is reminiscent of the 1931 version, but none of that is enough to save it from being, in my opinion, tiresome, usually unfunny, and lackluster.

Holy mackerel you’re telling me there’s a Mel Brook’s comedy that stars Leslie Nielsen?! I’m going to black out from laughing!

Just going through the motions. Brooks makes a valiant effort to give the movie a zany energy, but there's a heavy air of "what are we doing here?" Baffled as to why they decided on a too-straight remake of 1931's DRACULA when Coppola's uber-serious and culturally relevant 1992 version was right there.

At the time did not seem so bad, but would not see again. Is a comedy that is not very funny and the horror that has no horror.

for every good joke, there's 20 flat ones, but there are a few good jokes in there. brooks himself is hilarious. the scene where macnicol denies eating bugs at tea was one of the funniest things ive ever seen stuck right in one of the most mediocre movies i've ever seen. it is sad to think this is what brooks went out on. hopefully he comes back to do a proper directorial swansong.

Very weak one by Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielsen. NOt as good as one might expect it to be if those two comedians work together. Pity.

Leslie Neilsen is very funny in small doses, and with the right material. This is the WRONG material.

Mel Brooks took a wrong turn somewhere, a few years ago, and never found his way back home. You can still find some if his humor around here, but most of it is long dead and not loving it at all.

There is something charming about Nielsen's unabashed willingness to do anything or say anything stupid and pull it off as often as he does. All the points are for him.

Just unfunny. A few jokes, but only Leslie Nielsen is remotely interesting, and whenever he's not on screen, the movie just drags and drags

One of the worse comedies with Leslie Nielsen. It would've received a higher rating, but you have to expect something more that this from a Mel Brooks movie.

I OWN this movie I thought it was so funny. Bias comes from watching it with friends and having a good time while it's on though. Also...I love Leslie Nielsen.

Dead and Loving It is by far the least mature and refined of Mel Brooks' filmography. It is however also one of the funniest due to committed acts from Mel himself and the always hysterical Leslie Nielsen.

Definitely not Mel Brooks' greatest work. It's definitely good to see if you're a fan of Dracula, or if you just absolutely love vampire shit or Mel Brooks or Leslie Nielsen in general... If none of that applies to you, you'd be perfectly justified in overlooking this one.

With Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielsen I was expecting to be in tears from start to finish. I guess I built it up too high. In the end there were a couple of great gags but most were only minor chuckles. Disappointing.

A movie too far. While Leslie Nielsen and Mel Brooks both excel at comedy, the combination fails here, leading to a less than stellar effort.

Underrated. Sure, some of the humor misses the mark, but some of it is pants-peeingly funny, too, like Peter MacNicol eating bugs in front of Harvey Korman.

Mel Brooks last directorial comedy was so bad that it was actually good. His manners are always the same and he does not forget to run to the stage beautiful women. And repeating same jokes are kind of sweet. Peter MacNicol's part imitates badly the good old Jerry Lewis.

For Mel Brooks, this is devastating that he would even release this out to the world to see. Ashamedly lame and embarrasingly stale, the humor completely misses the mark in Dracula: Dead and Loving It. What a disgrace.

As stand-alone entertainment, not bad (I am extremely unlikely to sit through any sort of vampire movie that takes itself seriously, so I have no idea where any homage is being paid)... it has its amusing moments. Leslie Nielsen proves himself to be one of the all-time great deadpan parodist/comedians.

Just didn't have the humor neccessary to make it a comedy and it certainly couldn't hold its own as a vampire film.

Much maligned spoof of Dracula, Brooks leans heavily on the Browning original while delivering clear jabs to Hammer Horror and Coppola. Brooks appears to be teasing(testing?) his audience, delivering intentionally bad jokes that are often funny because they are so brazenly atrocious. The capable cast helps, hamming it up beyond the call of duty, with MacNicol a clear standout as Renfield while Nielsen just cements his status as regal doofus. A guilty pleasure if there ever was one.

I don't really like Mel Brooks movies as a role; they're often too sadistic and slapstick. But this one is perfect. The lines, timing, acting, directing, concepts. About as good as a film like this can be. And the vampire tropes were used to create a good vampire movie that happened to be a comedy - laughing "with" vampires, one might say...

I guess the question is "Why?" Why did anyone involved want to make this movie? Sure it has a few moments where Brooks' and Nielsen's not entirely compatible comedy styles actually work for the material - the hypnosis scene especially - but for the most part it just feels... bored with itself, unable to think of anything that would inject any sort of fresh comedy into an old story. The result feels more like a boring remake of Dracula than a spoof of it.

Worth knowing your Dracula lore for this one. Film came out 3 years after Copolla’s masterpiece and seemingly ignored that whole film to rip off the boring old one instead. At least we still get a terrible attempt at an english accent from steve macbicoll, and leslie nielsen does a fantastic job as the main man himself. Kinda has the Donald Trump Arctic Skin extreme makeup look.
