Transylvania 6-5000
A ridiculous horror comedy, this pitiful imitation of Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein was written and directed by one of mad Mel's former associates. Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley Jr are cringingly unfunny as journalists sent to Transylvania, where they encounter a werewolf, a mummy and other classic movie monsters. With a cast that includes such comic notables as Carol Kane, Jeffrey Jones and Michael (Seinfeld) Richards, you would expect a fair quota of laughs, but the American and Yugoslav cast tiresomely overplay a surfeit of unoriginal gags. Geena Davis surely won't want reminding of her role as a nymphomaniac vampire.
