KarstenJun 12, 2024I will always have a place in my heart for It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World even though me and this movie completely disagree on why and when it's funny.

A scathing satire about the two competing ideologies of the Cold War as played out through groups of people fighting over a hidden treasure... just kidding! It's a bloated, overly long parade of funny faces that's not even possible to recreate now thanks to the dearth of…

SINEGANG WEEK #21, picked by luke Sinegang Film Club Account — CLICK HERE — — — Watched the 210-minute original cut. There’s a reason why the film has four ‘mad’ words in its title, because it’s nothing short of maddening; it acts like a warning–that the film will take…
allain♡Jan 18, 2014aside from the terrific stunts, i enjoyed this as a classic-TV-addicted kid because of all the cameos. that's still fun, but man, what an epic sit. you're better off just watching the last few minutes of "Homer the Vigilante".
matt lynchNov 11, 2019I mistakenly watched the three hour version of this and I gotta tell you: don’t be like me, folks. Never have I seen a more unfunny and straight up blandly boring movie as this. This is what I imagine guys like Mike Pence consider a “guilty pleasure”—mother in law jokes…

RayRay dislikedIt's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad WorldWatched an hour and it was such a damn bore. People like this movie because it’s old. 3 hours for a lame movie is crazy. It wasn’t straight garbage, but just a far too long bore. Characters all made dumb faces all the time. It was dumb.

Last of my 1963, top 3. I've not seen this movie in a million years but remember it being in Black & White (was it....maybe it wasn't!) and it is a Laugh out Loud flick.
Mickerdoo lovedIt's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad WorldThey didn’t hold anything back on this outrageous comedy. Wacky characters, crazy stunts and great cameos. Fun lineup.
Jacob Hall dislikedIt's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad WorldHas aged terribly. 2 1/2 hours and I laughed maybe once or twice? Just dumb physical humor and a whole lot of yelling

It's a wonderfully crazy and colorful collection of chase comedy, so crowded with plot and people that it almost splits the seams of its huge Cinerama packing and its 3-hour-and-12-minute length.
