An affectionate homage more than a spoof of Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, Mel Brooks's hilarious movie is one of the funniest modern comedies around. Brooks plays a psychiatrist with a severe fear of heights who moves to the Bay Area to take over a psychiatric hospital after its former head mysteriously disappears. He must contend with the resident psychiatrist (Harvey Korman) and the twisted resident nurse (Cloris Leachman) as they plot against him, eventually framing him for murder. While on the run, Brooks teams up with the alluring daughter (Madeline Kahn) of the missing doctor to solve the mystery and confront his own fears. Containing some classic sequences and cowritten by Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Wag the Dog), who appears briefly as a too-touchy bellhop in a Psycho-shower-scene takeoff, High Anxiety is a thoroughly enjoyable romp from one of the masters of comedy today. --Robert Lane

Summary: classic Mel Brooks 2009-01-08
Comment: If you are a fan of Alfred Hitchcock and Mel Brooks you will love this movie. Full of silly sexual innuendo, ridiculous characters and typical Mel Brooks style.

Summary: High Anxiety 2008-06-15
Comment: One of the funniest Mel Brooks movies ever. The take-off on Psycho is one of the best scenes in the film. My copy arrived quickly and in good order so I am totally pleased with everything.

Summary: consider me insane!!! 2008-06-05
Comment: after watching this movie, i find it ridiculously hard to believe anyone couldn't find this movie funny. From beginning to the end, the Hitchock spoofs were hilarious. So many funny little odities in the movie make it worth watching over and over, just because you find other funny things each time. From the suspenseful background movie music thats actually a orchestra passing in a bus to the patient at the Psychoneurotic Institute for the Very, Very Nervous with the werewolf nightmares. This movie will make you laugh over and over. If it doesn't, you are TOO serious.

Summary: Mel spoofs Hitch--and gets crapped on by pigeons for his effort 2008-05-24
Comment: Very little that is funny or works here. Loved The Producers, though (1968 original version.)
Sorry, Mel. I know, comedy is tough to do. If it makes you feel any better, I think Sir Alfred is waaay
overrated.

Summary: Very Subtle If You Didn't See Hitchcock Films 2008-05-03
Comment: I frequently give this movie as a gift.....That's the case this time. If people have seen "The Birds", "North by Northwest" or "Vertigo" they get it and are rolling in the aisles. If they don't know Alfred's work, they just don't get it.
