How anyone can give this less than 8 stars must be related to my old lady. Does not understand comedy. Never watched Dracula with Bela Lugosi. Never read Bram Stoker's Dracula. This movie is hysterically funny. If you don't laugh in the first 10 minutes then you have no sense of humor. Amy Yasbeck, Harvey Korman, Mel Brooks, Leslie Nielsen, Steven Weber, Peter Macnicol, etc... the whole cast is underrated. The commentary is absolutely rich. Never wAtch commentary. They actually make this even more hilarious.

"Dracula: Dead and Loving It" is another parody of Mel Brooks, this time based on the Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" and its characters. The spoof has funny moments, especially for Mel Brooks' fans. Leslie Nielsen is good as usual in this type of movie that he became the greatest name but Peter MacNicol steals the show in the role of Renfield. The sequences of Harker impaling a stake in Lucy following the instructions of Professor Van Helsing and the ball with Dracula fleeing and Reinfield trying to save his master are the best moments of this film. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Drácula - Morto Mas Feliz ("Dracula - Dead but Happy")

Many people seem to have watched this movie based on its connection with Mel Brooks. Brooks was the producer, director, writer and one of the stars, playing Van Helsing. I'm honestly not much of a fan of Brooks, but I do enjoy Leslie Nielsen, who starred as Count Dracula. Nielsen had made quite a name for himself as a comedian in the previous few years in the Airplane and Naked Gun series. But, to me, Nielsen and Brooks have very different styles, and this was clearly a Mel Brooks movie - heavy on slapstick stuff. What made Nielsen so funny in the aforementioned movies was his absolute deadpan style. That wasn't much in evidence here. This was meant to be slapstick silly. And it was. It wasn't the sort of Nielsen comedy I usually enjoy.In fairness, this movie sticks reasonably close to the basics of the story. In that, it's a reasonably well done horror spoof, and the cast all try. My basic problem with it was that, unlike many, I just didn't find it very funny. There were a few chuckles, but nothing more. Your level of enjoyment of this movie will probably depend, like mine, on whether Brooks or Nielsen are your draw. If you like Brooks, you'll like this. If you're looking for a more typical Nielsen style, you'll find something lacking. Maybe, in fact, you'll find a lot lacking. (3/10)

This is one of those movies who has unjustly been underrated by those who do not understand its type of artistic expression and humor.Leslie Nielsen is one of the best actors i have ever seen and he personified Drakula in this comedy movie(which i do not consider a comedy entirely but a horror movie with class) His performance was perfect and the funny scenes were funny but they had the feeling of silly rather then comic.Most of the movie in my honest feelings is not a comedy but a Elegant Vampire movie.It is a deep classic and i am sure that in time it will earn its rightful place in the hall of fame.GREAT!!
