Walter Goodman New York Times No laughs there, and no screams either. May 21, 2003 Full Review Richard Freedman Newhouse News Service The trouble with Haunted Honeymoon is in the writing, which just isn't sharp or funny enough to keep one's attention from wandering about the haunted corridors of Wolfington Castle well ahead of the camera in search of some real entertainment. Nov 6, 2019 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Tame scares, not many laughs in '80s horror-comedy. Rated: 2/5 Sep 25, 2018 Full Review Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com Extremely disappointing comedy w/Wilder, Radner, DeLuise.

Mitchel M It's an excellent movie specifically because of its quirks...if that makes any sense lol. I can understand why it didn't get a lot of support when it was released, but now 38 years later I think it has a charm of its own. It's a wonderful throwback to the golden radio age and it kind of tugs at you knowing the fate of one of the main stars not that long after. Am I saying you'll watch it over and over, likely not **but** everyone should watch it at least once 👍 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Ashley N Had the VHS since I was little. Brings back great memories of childhood. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Steve D fails as a Mystery, a thriller, and especially a Comedy. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/23 Full Review Merritt E Very silly but highly entertaining and funny! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Bob S it isnt young frankenstein. and its as far from the producers as you can throw a rock from a window and thats with a ladder hanging out the side back or front. critics hated it. no one went to see it. but everyone i know who has watched it reported a warm pleasant reaction with a few genuine laughs. many liked the old fashioned atmosphere. wilder directed it himself and it is by no means a stand out movie. but can a flop be a good movie. ive known a lot of people who liked it. i found it watchable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Sorry Rotten Tomatoes - you got this movie wrong. Movie is a brilliant, classic comedy that works on so many levels not too mention paying homage to the bygone area of old radio programs. This has become an annual favorite during Halloweentime but it's a great comedy anytime of year. Dom DeLuise, Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner are just so much fun. Classic humor. Spooky ghostly mansion. Wonderful classic hollywood score. It only flopped when it was released in 1986 because it was the eighties - it's really a 70's movie paying homage to the 1930's/40's but released in the decade of decadence and excess. People - give this movie the chance it deserves. Love love love this movie! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
