Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

"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")

Mel Brooks' "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" isn't half as hilarious as his previous horror parody "Young Frankenstein." Indeed, compared with Brooks' masterpiece "Blazing Saddles," Brooks' take on the classic Stoker novel isn't audacious. Nevertheless, anybody who has read Stoker's chiller will see how closely Brooks and "Transylvania 6-5000" scenarist Rudy De Luca along with "Life Stinks" scribe Steve Haberman had followed the novel with their reverent adaptation. Occasionally, particularly when his shadow does different things, "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" is reminiscent of "Bram Stokers' Dracula" with Gary Oldman. Meanwhile, Brooks stakes or perhaps skewers everything in sight. Peter MacNicol is nothing short of brilliant as Renfield, and he rivals Dwight Frye from the Bela Lugosi "Dracula," especially Frye's insane laughter. Like the novel, the story unfolds as the solicitor Thomas Renfield travels abroad from London to Transylvania to sell Dracula a house. When they meet each other at Dracula's castle, Renfield gets tangled up in a huge spider web that Dracula walked through without disturbing it. The name of the place is Carfax Abby. Like "Dracula," Renfield cuts his finger accidentally, but he bleeds far more that Frye did in the original. Suffice to say, MacNicol's Renfield literally gushes. During the voyage to England, we watch as Dracula's coffin slides back and forth during a tempest. Dracula has a difficult time hypnotizing women. He contends with a female usher at the opera house and later has trouble giving the right directions so that Mina will leave her room and join him outside after dark. Several members of the cast are familiar Brooks' actors, including Harvey Korman and Avery Schreiber. Steven Weber is a hoot as Jonathan Harker. When he drives a stake through Lucy's heart, Van Helsing has judiciously stepped behind a curtain so that he won't be baptized by Lucy's blood. Jonathan emerges as thoroughly drenched. "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" was Mel Brooks' last film to direct, and it is often amusing. Leslie Nielson has a field day as Dracula in this lightweight, inoffensive comedy.

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)

Mel Brooks has done much better parodies in the past (SPACEBALLS is still a cult favourite for me) but Dracula: DEAD AND LOVING IT isn't too bad as they go. It's a broad spoof of BRAM STOKER'S Dracula with the ubiquitous Leslie Nielsen playing an accident-prone vampire who travels to England to prey on various unsuspecting folk.As you'd expect, the premise is played for laughs, most of them of the dumb or slapstick variety. Half the fun comes from seeing which of the American stars does the worst British accent. Nielsen is good value as always as the Count but the material is hardly up there with the wild and frenetic nature of the AIRPLANE films or indeed his NAKED GUN trilogy.The worst thing about this spoof is how many of the scenes are actually played straight when they could have been much funnier. Certain sequences, like those featuring Nielsen or the bug-eating dinner, are really funny, but many others are too serious. I was actually thinking up jokes that I would have put in as I watched. A good effort then, just not the best, a little more time on the script would have fixed that...
