It's a mad, hysterical, riotous, hilarious world! Never before had a comedy packed an entire generation of actors and comedians into one movie. "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" is a seemingly endless thrill ride of comedic enjoyment.

It may be overlong and overstuffed with recognizable funny people (all just acting crazy and not as actual characters), but the sheer size and insanity of this farcical adventure is enough to merit a viewing or two. In the end, the journey is more fun than the destination.

There are bloated segments of this film that drag, but they are very few and far between. For the most part, the manic screwball comedy energy carries the film and Stanley Kramer skillfully juggles multiple intersecting storylines with ease and hilarity.
