Classic British Comedy at its best!

Advantages: Laughter in a box!
Disadvantages: Visiting the hospital after your sides have split with laughter!

Having purchased the Monty Python box set from Amazon I couldn't wait for the legends of British comedy to arrive at my door. Luckily this wasn't too much of a wait because as always the purchase to door delivery service offered by Amazon is always one of speed! Now I could review each film from start to finish in detail covering all the comedic genius of John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle etc... however this would be very unfair to the perspective ...
...a fantastic collection of films away from you. All I will say is the battle for the holy grail is a tough one, I now know the meaning of life, I without a doubt experienced something completely different and soon realised that he's not the messiah, oh no, he's a very naughty boy! This box set contains the genius that created a blueprint for many of the comedy shows we see today and will always remain intelligent, classic British comedy at its very ...

Review of Monty Python - The Movies (Box Set) (DVD)

Too many movies too many similarities

Advantages: Pretty funny if you like slapstick humour, has bonus features
Disadvantages: Too much of a muchness, generally pretty expensive

...all 7 of the original Police Academy movies. They vary in classification, with the original movie being 15 rated, the sequel and the 4th film is 12 rated and the others (the 3rd, 6th & 7th movies) being PG. That being the case, im sure kids (about 7 or 8 years or older) would find the PG ones pretty funny. I saw these movies when I was younger and remembered getting a good laugh from them, hence why I bought it. I've got to say, im not overly convinced ...
...movies are as follows:- Police Academy (the original movie) (the 'complete collection' boxset includes the '20th Anniversary Special Edition' version) Police Academy 2 - Their First Assignment Police Academy 3 - Back in Training Police Academy 4 - Citizens on Patrol Police Academy 5 - Assignment Miami Beach Police Academy 6 - City Under Siege Police Academy - Mission to Moscow (the 7th and last movie) The movies are all about a bunch of police ...

The Blues Brothers Collection

Advantages: The special features are brilliant and unrelesed footage is fantastic
Disadvantages: The are none

...music and for whitty comedy, the blues brothers can not be beaten. This collection offers high qualtiy productions set over 4 discs which all add to the blues brothers experience. Disc 1 has the film on it in its orginal state. Not remastered so it keeps that 70's look it has. It has some of the biggest names in soul and blues such as James Brown (RIP) Aretha Franklin, Jonny Lee Hooker and more in an all star cast. The plot keeps getting thicker ...
...camio role in the film. It trully is a masterpiece hat no modern day film can equal. Disc 2's copy of the blues brothers 2000 still has the good music and the good songs but can't beat the orginal. Disc 3 Has live performances from the 1970's which shows you why the hollywood money men let them make the film in the first place. Disc 4 is a digitaly enhanced version of the film, which takes away some of the value of this movie, the orginaly blurryness ...

Go Away Wiener Dog

Advantages: Twisted addictive comedy
Disadvantages: Subjects may put some viewers off

...unpopular 12 year old girl. Welcome To The Dollhouse is rather hysterical, but in a manner that most might find disturbing when hearing about the subject matter; Solondz takes issues that we should not laugh about and makes them funny. In fact if Solondz had made this film five years earlier the movie probably would have been banned and he would have been outlawed. Through excellent craftsmanship this movie is made more acceptable, but there still ...
...than likely boy. Welcome To The Dollhouse is a movie that is incredibly difficult to define and make appealing, in all ways it sounds totally unappealing. But it has a kind of magic about it that makes it not only compulsive viewing, but it makes you want to watch it again and again. If you have ever seen The Office the characteristics of the character David Brent are similar to that of Dawn. You feel yourself cringing watching her, at times you'll ...

A male Gigalo??

Advantages: 'Unstoppable Laughter'
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...movie about a gigolo named deuce I was a little put off at the fact someone would actually produce a film about it. However atfer finding out that Rob Schneider was casting I started to become interested (Rob Schneider plays small roles in a variety of Adam Sandler movies including; Waterboy, Big Daddy etc.). After hearing friends and family talking about it I thought why not! I found the first film in the sequel (Male Gigolo) hilarious from start ...
...Parts of the film acted out stupidity but if you have a good sense of humour then i'm sure you wont stop laughing. The second in the sequel (European Gigalow) only enhanced the reputation of the first. The storyline was alot better. Again i cannot comment anything but laughter. I would certainly recommend both movies to any Adam Sandler fans. ...
