Transylvania 6-5000

Here is one mighty fine gem that has for years now been my daughter's favorite film. Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley Jr. are sent to Transylvania in search of the Frankenstein monster by their National Enquirer type newspaper and the high jinx start from there. A collection of slap stick vignettes strung together to provide an avenue for some of Vegas's finest stand-up jobbers TRANSYLVANIA 6-5000 will not tickle the funny bone of all but it is well worth giving it a chance to do so. Michael Richards has some fantastic surreal bits here and Begley Jr. manages to pulls some great gags but the real show rests with Carol Kane and John Byner. The chemistry between these two as a hunchbacked couple is one of the finest comedic presentations you will ever see on film. Geena Davis looks stunning in her little vampire outfit and perhaps that is all I should say about that. All in all a fine couple of hours of nonsensical fun and can't we all use that now and again.
