Review of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em - The Complete Second Series DVD by
SScott764
Advantages: Good clean comedy
Disadvantages: Too much Frank at times
Some mothers do 'ave 'em is a British comedy that was first transmitted between 1973 and 1975 on BBC 1. Only 3 series of the comedy were made but with the many reruns of these series on TV the program has become well known to people of all ages and the star of the show, Frank Spencer (Michael Crawford - a pre-phantom version), has become a celebrity in his own right.
The two main characters, Frank Spencer and his wife Betty (Michelle Dotrice) tell ... ...him off the premises. Some Public Relations that is.
Frank and Marvin - In another attempt to try and get himself a job Frank tries to become a bluecoat. He starts off with a ventriloquist act featuring his interesting looking friend, Marvin the Monkey. This then leads to one very unique rendition of 'Early One Morning' and then to finish off the whole audition we see a firework display - from a most unexpected place.
Father's Clinic - To prepare ...

Advantages: Good episodes
Disadvantages: Earliest series so picture quality isnt great at times
Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em is a British comedy that was first transmitted between 1973 and 1975 on BBC 1.

The two main characters, Frank Spencer and his wife Betty (Michelle Dotrice) tell ... ...Frank is just about as accident-prone as anyone can be. Everything he touches falls apart. Everybody he meets ends up on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Every job that he does actually manage to get lasts less than a day. His wife Betty somehow manages to cope with all of the problems involved in living with Frank, which is an outstanding achievement. However, unfortunately the same cannot be said of their neighbours who call, angrily, at the Spencer ...

The Love Guru
Review of The Love Guru DVD by
ameriemcatamney
Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Bit cheesy
The movie stars Mike Myers and deals with the story of a "Hindu" love guru tasked to save the marriage of a Toronto Mapleleafs hockey player before it eventually ruins the team's chances of winning the Stanley Cup. Yes, that's the synopsis of the movie. If you think it sounds shallow and unfunny, well you've hit the nail right on the head.
People who were expecting the kind of gross but ultimately super-funny gags and sequences in Myers' Austin ...

Just Like Heaven
Review of Just Like Heaven DVD by
ameriemcatamney
Advantages: Good acting
Disadvantages: N/A
Big forehead Reese Witherspoon plays (implausibly) a workaholic doctor who seems to retain her Barbie-like prettiness despite working without sleep. She can't get a date (again, yeah right) and is on her way to visit someone when she gets smacked by a car. Fast forward to sometime later and we meet Mark Ruffalo, who happens to be the new tenant in Witherspoon's apartment. He starts seeing the unknowing ghost of Witherspoon and thus the saccharine-sweet, ...

Just Friends
Review of Just Friends DVD by
ameriemcatamney
Advantages: Reynolds
Disadvantages: N/A
Just Friends came out in December of 2005 and just barely flew under the radar. It is quite a shame, considering that this movie, more than any other, demonstrates the talent that Ryan Reynolds has at doing what he does best: being a complete jerk. Reynolds has always done his best when in the role of a smug, cocky, and crassly witty anti-hero and this time is no different. Chris Brander (Reynolds) was the fattest kid in high school whose best friend ...
