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…
lairdJul 19, 2020Oh boy that was one mad, mad, mad, mad movie.
Tylot LanternJan 2, 2021SINEGANG 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…

I can’t count how many times vehicles are damaged in this film lmao.
JacksonJan 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…

THIS MOVIE US FRICKIN INSANELY FUNNY. WATCH IT NOW!
Charlotte likedIt's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad WorldSurprisingly entertaining! My dad introduced me to this late at night, & we agreed to watch just the first 10 minutes. I ended up watching the whole thing & stayed up until 3 a.m. Great cast & a fun story—I especially liked the twist with the money, though the hospital scene felt a bit cheesy.
Hank Jenkins likedIt's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad WorldBill Wurtz voice: “So, basically… there’s $350,000 buried under a ‘big W’… and all these colourful and eccentric people want to get their hands it! This movie teaches us a lesson and it’s that 🎶 PEOPLE. ARE. GREEDY!🎶 Also 🎶 SO. MANY. CAMEOOOOOOOOS!🎶”

Watched 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.
Tom Redmond likedIt's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad WorldLast 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.

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.
