Trailer—Haunted Honeymoon

This is a very funny movie. It is something to watch when you want to get in a halloween mood but need to laugh.

This movie was adorable. It was funny, and kept me interested. But then again who wouldn't be entertained when Gilda Radner's on screen?

I was only 4 years old when this movie first came out but I watched years later, I was in my mid teens and I thought this movie was funny. Another reason I like it because it has Gene Wilder in it and Dom Deluise playing his aunt and I'm a huge Gene Wilder and Dom Deluise fan. If your a huge fan of either Gene Wilder or Dom Deluise I recommend Haunted Honeymoon because its a funny movie.

This one has it all, the old mystery radio show, a haunted house, and a killer cast, especially Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner together. Now throw in a family worthy of James Thurber's, and great story line and you have entertainment. Dom Deloise as the eccentric aunt in drag is priceless, and mysterious happenings at a family gathering, a bizarre butler, his wife, and a fantastic story with wit, style, and loads of humor. A genuine keeper. Check out the cast listing, it's great! And the delivery of the actors is flawless, well-timed. Well worth the money.

When "Haunted Honeymoon" was released, the critics panned it and almost no one saw it. But it does have a certain charm to it. Featuring Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner as husband-and-wife-to-be Larry Abbot and Vickie Pearle staying in a Gothic mansion where there may or may not be a werewolf, the movie's completely silly but pretty funny. There's certainly an air of "Young Frankenstein" here. Dom DeLuise looks really zany playing a woman, and the movie also stars Jonathan Pryce and Paul Smith (the prison guard from "Midnight Express"). If you want to know more about this movie, read Gilda Radner's autobiography "It's Always Something". She talks about how they filmed it, and Gene Wilder stayed in England to edit it. While he was there, Chernobyl happened. So, she was worried about him in Europe with a radioactive cloud hanging over it. I wonder what ever became of Gene Wilder. He seems to have disappeared ever since Gilda Radner died.

The movie was released by the doomed orion pictures and not screened for critics prior to its release knowing that it had an unfortunate fate ahead but taking it all in stride the cast and creators bravely put the misunderstood film before the firing squad in 1986 and now its faced a second unfair firing from the internet (not yet as bad as its first death but still its the lowlife class aussies and englanders duplicate slamming everything the yanks like they cant steal). It has some really funny moments instances of brilliance nad is sourly misunderstood.

This is the sort of off-the-wall comedy that is perfect for the wee hours -- so long as you don't wake up the rest of the household, either screaming or laughing! DeLuise and Radner were especially good (as you might expect) -- it would be hard to beat their duet of "Balling the Jack." If you're looking for a logical plotline, you will have to go elsewhere. There are more twists and turns and unresolved moments than actual dialogue, I believe. However, if totally bizarre is what you're after, this is it! I found it thoroughly enjoyable.

Gene Wilder is good in this movie. There are some very funny scenes throughout and, although it may seem quite dated, it's unquestionably enjoyable sometimes. Plenty of laughs and gags to be had. The other actors are cast great in this movie. SPOOKILY FUNNY! 7/10

I grew up on this movie. Comedy Central used to air it about 5 times a week (sometimes more often). My mother and father were big Gene Wilder/Gilda Radner fans and they were particularly fond of this movie. Whenever it aired, we watched it. Maybe that's part of my allegiance. But I sincerely don't believe that there is much else funnier than Dom Deluise sliding down a railing, dressed in drag. I've dreamed of this movie after watching it, and even the dream was funny. I admit, the humor isn't very high-brow, but that's OK. The "I have to use the can!" and "get happy" sequences are pretty funny. Like I said before, the movie isn't going to stimulate anyone intellectually. But if you just tune your mind to "pun," this movie should amuse you enough.
