Advantages: Still extremely funny
Disadvantages: Little in the way of extras

The first six 'revolting' episodes of the scraps and scrapes of Richard Richard (Rik Mayall) and Edward Hitler (Ade Edmondson), two of the saddest experimental life-forms known to man. For me possibly the greatest sitcom ever, it was great to finally start my collection on DVD and throw away those dodgy old VHS recordings! Not much in the way of extras sadly, a few (very funny) out-takes and thats about it. Fans of 'Bottom' will know exactly what ...
...comic violence, masturbation jokes, it's all here. For those not yet familiar with the escapades of Richie and Eddie, if you are expecting modern, sophisticated 'comedy', probably best to look elsewhere. If your looking for a bloody good laugh though, very highly recommended! 'Smells' - The duo invest in some pheremone sex spray and hit the local pub to pick up some 'cracking birds'! 'Gas' - Eddie has been stealing next door's gas supply, and the ... Read review

Advantages: Slapstick crazed humour
Disadvantages: Poor storyline, lack of supporting cast

...the seedy hotel masters of Guest House Paradiso. You've already guessed the plot, you've got a fair idea of the violence that follows, so how does it all add up? To be honest, this is a bridge too far for a comic duo who belong on the live stage together. Bereft of the energy that comes from a heckling audience, they try every trick in the book to drag out a ninety minute success story. Unfortunately, it's half baked and descends in to reckless chaos ...
...the vital ingredient in making Guest House Paradiso a hit or a miss. With Mayall and Edmondson, you have two veteran performers with a fine knack for comic awareness. They know how to rally off of each other and produce some laugh out loud moments. But despite an honorable effort, the mindless violence loses its shock factor and it's only downhill from there. Written by the stars of the movie themselves, Rik and Ade have worked together for a long ... Read review

Advantages: None I can think of
Disadvantages: The whole DVD

...came out at Christmas, ' The World of Lee Evans', I didn't hesitate to buy it, thinking that we could all sit down and have a good laugh one evening. Baring in mind that for some reason I didn't read to back the of the DVD, and just assumed it would be his normal stand up comedy, we settled down for an evening of laughter, put it on and waited while a strange sketch started, which seemed as if it was a repeat of an early 1970s comedy show. Thinking ...
...we waited and waited, but the sketch went on and on - and wasn't even funny - just really odd! It was at this point that we read the back of the DVD and discovered that the DVD was a series of short comedy dramas. We perservered through another 2 sketches which again were really odd and not funny at all until we could stand it no more and turned it off. I went back into the case and hasn't come back out since. Maybe it will be to someones humour, ... Read review

Advantages: There's a halfway decent supporting cast here, and some good laughs.
Disadvantages: Tim Meadows does NOT have the talent to do anything over a ten minute sketch. Bad acting, soundtrack, storyline, everything

...It's yet another movie from the Saturday Night Live studios, who haven't exactly been churning out quality movies lately. Or quality shows, for that matter. Tim Meadows is Leon Phelps, a late-night, unintentionally foul-mouthed disc jockey with a lisp and essentially one joke: anything sexual. From reading his poem over Chicago's airwaves, "Doin' It In The Butt," to presenting his demo tape to various producers, in which we're repeatedly treated ...
...his late-night radio job for the aforementioned poem among many other FCC violations, he and his producer must go in search of work. But he has a good supporting cast. Billy Dee Williams plays the bartender-cum (no pun intended!)-narrator, whose narration is invariably taken as dialogue by the rest of the cast, who ask him, mystified, what he's talking about. Mark McKinney plays a religious radio station head who is indignant when he discovers the ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent Film, Puffy the dog
Disadvantages: Too many extras on DVD
