Pros: The comedians and some material is funny Cons: Stale jokes and gags, thin story
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) Just when you think you can settle down, relax, retreat into a fetal position, and watch an old favorite movie, your illusions get shattered. I'm talking about It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, which I swore was ...
Pros: Great performances by comedy legends Cons: DVD release is poor, movie starts slow
On a deserted road in the California desert, a group of strangers witness a car accident. Before the car's driver dies, he reveals the location of $350,000. Though at first skeptical, the group begins to believe his tale. Initially, the group of ...
Pros: Unsurpassed roster of stars Cons: Too long; some dated humor
Like grape Nehi, circus peanuts and Bugles, It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World has assumed a somewhat lower position in my ever-shifting pyramid of earthly delights. It's easy to see how a movie so full of honest-to-god gags-- from a...
Pros: was a major investment of talent Cons: requires a major investment of time
Well, yeah, I'll admit to a weakness for those big box, big budget, long-running-time, cameo-loaded, expensive, broad-canvas farces of the 60's. For some weird reason, some of them are transportation comedies: Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying...
Pros: cast, stunts, gags, cinematography Cons: way over the top
During the 1960s, Spencer Tracy starred in four films for producer/director Stanley Kramer. The first two were serious, noble affairs. "Inherit the Wind" and especially "Judgment at Nuremberg" were heavy dramas, Tracy's final film,...
The first time watching this comedy was in early 1969 when it came on television. I sat there and watched this for perhaps, about ten or fifteen minutes and from that point on, I enjoyed watching it. I was only eight years old then.
Pros: Star studded cast, funny story line Cons: Very long movie
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is one of my most favorite movies. It's the one I play when I am feeling down and just wanting a pick me up. It's happy, sunny, fun, and it takes place in a by gone era. More importantly, it's very funny, high paced, and ...
Pros: Funny movie if you have time Cons: Deleted scenes edited poorly, horrible to view on regular screen
It’s a slapstick-filled comedy of gigantic proportions – and very long.
If you are down with 60’s movies and humor, this one is for you. It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World follows the exploits of a group of people who are racing to find $350,000...
Pros: Tons of stars and laughs Cons: runs a little long
Heck, how many of you sat through that Titanic movie, and you already knew the end of that one! Make sure you have a comfortable seat, you're going to be there for a while. Yes this movie is long, but well worth it.
Pros: Historic assembly of talent, top production values Cons: Generally indulgent slapstick; very long
I'd seen Stanley Kramer's blockbuster blunderbuss comedy on
network TV, its already-bloated running time pumped up with
commercial breaks. Thank heavens for home-video! My girlfriend
insisted that I watch it on home-video (a letterboxed...
The next film I viewed featured a hugely talented cast, great stunts, and great cinematography, but still managed to feel overly long and unfunny to me. Dubbed “the comedy to end all comedies” by it’s director, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World...
Pros: Lots of really funny moments Cons: Slow at times
How can you pass up a comedy that has a dim-witted Jonathan Winters, hellbent for vengeance, chasing an elusive Phil Silvers at his sleeziest and slimiest best? Or Omar Sherif, whose doofy Englishman character evokes a hearty chuckle every time he opens...
