Watch It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World For Free

Absolutely Fantastic

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

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.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This movie defined comedy at it's best, I remember watching this with my dad when I was younger and laughing my head off. Now I am 25 years old and I have my own copy and still am laughing pretty hard. This hilarious movie has some of the greatest comedians and actors ever to appear on screen all in one big movie. Milton Berle, Mickey Rooney, Sid Caesar,Buddy Hackett to name just a few. These were the classic actors, actors that really loved their jobs and showed it. The story follows 14 ordinary people living their ordinary lives, one day 8 of them witness a man going crazy on the road and driving himself off a cliff. In the words of the dying man 5 of them hear "It's under a big W" and the dying man claims $350,000 is buried under it. What they don't know is that the dying man is a thief and the loot that is buried is from all his robberies. Then all of the sudden these people go mad and race to uncover the cash, every man and woman for himself and herself. Meanwhile, the police are hot on their tails witnessing just how "Mad" these people really are. It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World is a chase comedy, each of the 14 people involved goes through a horrible yet hilarious experience to get to the buried loot. The characters are a wimpy man J. Russell Finch, his down to earth wife Emeline Marcus Finch, A know it all dentist Melville Crump, His overprotective wife Monica Crump, A short feisty man named Ding Bell and his friend Benjy Benjamin, The bossy and sassy mother of Emeline and mother in law of Russell Mrs. Marcus, a strong stubborn truck driver named Lennie Pike, A crook and smooth talker named Otto Meyer, A Talkative and annoying English man named J. Algernon Hawthorne, a Mama's boy and son, brother, and brother in law Sylvester Marcus, and a crooked dirty cop named Captain T.G. Culpepper.All of these ordinary people have dangerous, life threatening experiences yet to the audience these experiences are outrageously hilarious as they try to get to their precious money. A lot of people say this movie is not so funny, and overly slapstick. But what they don't realize is this movie was one of the greatest comedies of all. Plus this comedy is very clean, no swearing, there are two scenes where a woman is dancing in a swimsuit and bikini though it is only shown twice and for small moments. All in all it's a clean comedy and very funny, what I don't understand is why do comedies today have all the filth in them, to me that doesn't make it funny. If your in the right mood, you will laugh with this movie.It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World is a classic, nothing will ever come close to it. They did do a movie called "Rat Race" that is like this, but I have not seen it yet. 10/10 stars for "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World."

I just had rotator cuff surgery and this is one of my first film reviews post-surgery. So, although the movie is 3 1/2 hours long, I am being very brief because I just don't have the energy to write longer AND because they are already a ton of reviews for the movie.The story involves a group of seemingly normal people who go crazy due to greed and quickly become unhinged at the process of sudden wealth. In addition to this core group, you have many cameos (many of which could have been used better) of very famous comedy actors of yesterday such as The Three Stooges, Jack Benny, Joe E. Brown and many others.So is this film a brilliant comedy? Not exactly. Subtlety certainly is NOT something you see in the film and Ethel Merman's performance is ridiculously over the top (no one is THAT obnoxious). Instead it's more a turn off your brain and just enjoy sort of movie. Funny, high energy but rarely brilliant or clever...it's well worth seeing and holds up well but also isn't a film that makes the best use of its many stars.

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World is far and above the most entertaining movie I have ever seen in my life. It's non-stop comedy from start to finish, from Jimmy Durante literally kicking the bucket to Ethel Merman slipping on a banana peel. It also has a stellar cast, both leading and supporting, with every joker and jester in the business from Milton Berle and Jonathan Winters to Don Knotts and the Three Stooges.The acting is great, the script is great, the laughs come in at a million miles an hour, and after 20+ viewings I'm still picking up on little bits of humor here and there which escaped my notice before. Perhaps the only fault in this movie is lousy continuity from shot to shot but to me all of the little quirks just make this movie more endearing. If I could only ever again watch one movie for the rest of my life this would be the one I would pick.There is humor here for everyone- dialogue, slapstick, farce, you name it. Give it more than just one viewing. I'm glad I did. I was unsure about it at first but it gets better and better every time I watch it. You won't be sorry you watched this film. For Stanley Kramer's first big comedic outing, he knocked it out of the park and also managed to deliver a beautiful satire on greed and the human condition.Only one movie ever can garner a perfect 10/10 rating from me (being my favorite movie, since if a movie is not your favorite, it naturally could be better and thus is not perfect) and this is it.

Everything about Stanley Kramer's high-decibel all-star comedy "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" screams BIG! (beginning with the film's ungainly title and Saul Bass's unreadable, crazy-quilt opening credits). A dying man in the California desert gives a group of bickering auto travelers a tip where to find some hidden loot--350 G's; the group discusses divvying up the money fairly once it's found, but soon turn on each other in a winner-take-all scramble. It isn't clear if the screenplay by William and Tania Rose was originally this caustic, or if the shrill, continually grating quality of the picture came into play once the actors stepped in front of the cameras. Kramer, not known for his comedic expertise, directs everyone the same way: the bigger, the better. As such, some of the finest comic personalities of the 1950s (as well as top-billed Spencer Tracy playing it fairly straight as a police captain) are not shown to any useful advantage. A young movie-watcher unaware of the reputations of Sid Caesar, Milton Berle, Jonathan Winters, Mickey Rooney, Ethel Merman, Jim Backus, Buddy Hackett, Phil Silvers and Jimmy Durante might be excused for temporarily assuming this group was nothing more than a collection of overeager hams. The flying insults, ghastly screams and grasping hands are more than enough to do the expensive production in...that is, until Kramer and his editing team made the decision to let the movie run an astounding 192 minutes. If a friend recommends this one to you, find a savvier friend. ** from ****
