Dracula - Dead and Loving It - 2 stars out of 10

Dracula - Dead and Loving It - 2 stars out of 10

"Dracula - Dead and Loving It" has everything that you would expect to find in a parody... except for comedy. Furthermore, there are not many surprises and even the few humorous moments cannot compare to the classic moments of Young Frankenstein and Robin Hood MIT. It helps to have watched and focused on previous Dracula renditions... because many of the scenes in this film are line-by-line (at least content wise) true to some of the original versions. References to Nosferatu are also clever but overall, the movie fails to thrill. leslie Nielsen is funny... but not as funny as he is in the Naked Gun (or many of his other films). If you are a die-hard Mel Brooks fan, I'm sure that this is on your list. If you aren't a huge fan and are just looking for any Brooks film to watch, pick basically any other one.
