Very well written and acted campy take on the early salem Mass. witch trials. Using the as of yet untested talents of some promising unknowns including
"police acadamy's "tackleberry" and also the mayor a star on "saving grace" . Bawdy raunchy comedy at it's naughty best.

This is probably the funniest movie that I have ever seen. One laugh right after another and array of characters as unique and hilarious as could be imagined. Never have the Salem Witch hunts been explained in such an irreverent manner. One of those "wait,wait, rewind it, I have to see that again" movies.
It will have you laughing long after the movie has ended and it will be one that you watch over and over and never get tired of seeing. Buy this movie and you will be glad you did. Laugh a minute belly laughs. Share it with your friends.

If you like silly, zany, 2nd city type laughs, then this movie is for you. The comedy was relentless. Everywhere you looked, there was a subplot that was almost as engaging as the main plot. The part that got to me the most was when Ann Ramsey did her brief cameo at the end. She appears as the real witch and tells the Salemites that they are idiots. Her point was that a real witch would never have allowed the type of treatment that the town became famous for. The irony was rich.

What an odd comedy, lampooning the Salem Witch Trials...a bit late in the day for that type of social commentary (so they tried to tie it to a picture of Nixon briefly shown during a trial sequence?). Not funny by half: crotch jokes and manure jokes are for the desperate. There's a reason this movie didn't last long in theaters nor did it become an underground cult favorite. Its humor is old and forlorn.
Not a keeper. (But I'm not sorry I watched it this once. I did laugh a couple of times but I can't remember at what.)

Yikes. Not so fantastic. The addvert for Monty Python's Holy Grail before the feature came on was better. Spent my time amusing myself with the vague notion the lead was a young David Hasselhoff with about as much acting cred as demonstrated (which was zero). Kept waiting for them to break out into song for some reason: maybe a musical would have helped it along? Or possibly another movie? Probably not though. Had to watch a repeat of something on TV with addverts afterwards, just to lift my mood enough to go to sleep.
Out of five, half. Of one. That's 0.5/10
I've always been a generous soul.

Love At Stake is a great film. But not for everyone. Too racy for children and too campy for serious film lovers. This is just a fun flick to get lost in and waste some time. If you're looking for a deep film, pass over this one. If you're a fan of films like Transylvania 6-5000, Vibes, and Spaceballs or similar Mel Brooks goodies you'll enjoy this. This is a spoof of the Salem Witch Trials.

the dvd was in excellent condition and the movie was so funny,it started out funny and ended funny. you didn't want to get up in case you missed something.

I have not purchased this product. Don't know why Amazon says I recommend it. I can't recommend something I haven't seen.

My husband has been looking for this movie for years. I found it on Amazon and he is thrilled.

I bought this DV sight-unseen from Amazon. I certainly got my money's worth of laughs. The acting is great, the costumes are great -- I just love every minute of it and have watched it a number of times and shared it with friends.

The hypocritical self-appointed guardians of other people's morality should be afraid -- very afraid. There's nothing like the sheer pleasure of making your enemies look ridiculous.



You'll laugh for centuries!
