Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.

Read from 12 comments (8 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) — 1 of them described how it moves.

Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 1 comment. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“THe sequence where creator and creature sings and dance "Putting on thr Ritz" is for getting stomachache by laughing.”

“A prime time collaboration between Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder that mixes two distinctive comic styles to birth something new, heartfelt and (mostly) hilarious. Though it’s primarily a loyal homage to the golden age of Universal monster movies, complete with authentic transitions, camera techniques and pre-film credit roll, Young Frankenstein still finds ample opportunity to play around. Gene and Mel are taking the piss, quite obviously, but it’s done with love and admiration; a pair of talented ”

“Possibly Mel Brook’s best work. It’s a hilarious Halloween classic that achieves more with a single-worded joke than many comedy’s achieve as a whole. It’s wonderful.”

I needn’t have worried. This is not Mensa material here, but it is a good example of what Mel Brooks did best, spoof movie genres or other cinematic cliches. Everyone seems to have great fun making this movie, and it shows. So”

“I'd probably best start by saying that I love the writing of Mel Brooks, but I detest the acting style of Gene Wilder - so my views on this are somewhat mixed. It is a spoof - and James Whale ought to be writ large in the credits, as should Glenn Miller and a host of others who have inadvertently contributed to the wonderfully paced script that rarely draws breath. Wilder - the grandson of the eponymous, famously mad scientist - decides to visit Transylvania where he stumbles upon a formula that”
