Watch Munster, Go Home! For Free

Pretty Good

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

As a huge Munsters fan since I was a child, this film doesn't fail to be brilliant - fantastic performances from all cast and very very funny story.Interesting to see the show in colour rather than black and white, however, both black and white and also colour really fit the show/film very well.This is easily the best of the Munsters movies.If you're a HUGE Munsters fan, like me, then you will definitely LOVE this :)It would be brilliant if this film came out in BluRay :)

I must confess that I have never seen an episode of the television series "The Munsters" - that's what happens when you grow up in Canada where Canadian content is forced on its citizens, which leaves less chance for American series to air. Anyway, I knew a little about the show before watching this movie, and there's one problem this movie has right from the start - it is filmed in color, and the make-up on the various Munster characters looks very phony when it was probably not on the black and white TV show. But that's a minor quibble compared to the big problem of the movie, and that is that it's not funny at all. Instead of aiming at a wide audience, the mentality of the script is aimed at young children. While young children might laugh at some of the childish antics here, this adult sat through the movie stone faced. The basic idea of the movie - the Munsters encountering Brits - had a lot of promise, but the execution is sorely lacking. And it doesn't encourage me to look online for episodes of the television show.

I remember seeing the movie when it came out on the silver screen over the Summer of 1966. We finally got to see the Munsters in living color. It was every fan's hope that the success of this movie would save the TV series from cancellation. Sad to say, the series was axed before the movie was released. And in spite of the crowds that paid to see the Munsters on the silver screen, the series remained in its canceled state. The Network execs had made up their minds and that decision was final! Debbie Watson was a cute and perky teenager. But casting her in a role that belonged to Pat Priest, was a big mistake that angered Fred Gwynne and Al Lewis. This choice also left many in the audience either puzzled or downright angry. I would imagine that this role also played a part in Debbie Watson's movie career, going the way it did (she retired from acting in 1972).With all things considered, Debbie Watson played her role well.The movie lived up to its claims. It was hilarious. It was everything that the TV series was, except that it was in living color (and there was no canned laughter). If you loved THE MUNSTERS, you'll love this movie!

Of course it would have been impossible for the Munsters to take a trip to England in a 25-minute TV episode. So it's fun to see it finally happen. I'm not the world's biggest Munster fan, but I've been watching the series ever since I was a little kid and I do love it (a wee bit). This, in particular, is a fun adventure, in which Herman inherits an English title and goes to the Sceptred Isle to claim it, even in spite of the wishes of his greedy cousins, who want the title for themselves. Naturally, this movie has the same kind of rim shot-based gags that highlight the show ("I thought he was made in Germany"), but it also has a great deal of fun and some gags are really quite funny, not to mention the drastic culture shock that takes place when the Munsters-- who aren't even normal Americans-- take Great Britain by storm. So if you like "The Munsters," you should go ahead and give "Munster, Go Home!" a try. You won't be disappointed.
