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: Comedy packed dvd with bonus material
Disadvantages: the bonus material only lasts 5 minutes

...Spiers and Ed Bye Bottom has been a big source of laughs for me since an early age. Its one of the few comedy shows left thats not afraid to do something funny. In an age of political correctness it's nice to have an occaisional break from it all. Directed by Ed Bye, the same genius that brought us shows like red dwarf and the detectives, his midas touch gives the show that extra something that makes Bottom unforgettable. This is helped by Jon ...
...us Murder most horrid and the thin blue line. This Dvd promises 5 episodes of the classic comedy, including my personal favourite "holy". Rik Mayall is as ever, hilarious as Richie, and with the equally comic Ade Edmondson(Eddie) the Dvd is packed with laughs, the duo work so well together that in places it seems like they combine to create something majestic. without a strong storyline the pair focus a lot more on the laughs, which is very funny, ...

Advantages: The return of the sex comedy
Disadvantages: Very low budget

If your one of those people that won't watch anything other than big blockbuster movies then Gettin It is certainly not for you, however if you're a bit more open minded, enjoyed the humour of American Pie, Porky's or The Lemon Popsicle movies then this 2006 sex comedy is a must. Gettin it is low budget, filmed with handheld cameras, and looks decidedly cheap. But what Gettin It marks isa resurgence of the sex comedy so popular during the 70's and ...
...be seeing a lot more like it. Silver is a normal kid, he works in his mum and dad's takeaway pizza joint as a delivery boy; he is nothing special and quite withdrawn. Slightly unbelievably this rather nerdy kid has a stunning girlfriend called Sheila who wants to wait for the time to be right to have sex; I'll leave you to decide which part I find unbelievable. Silver however wants sex more than anything, after all his friends are all having sex, ... Read review

Advantages: Great humour
Disadvantages: Might not appeal to you if you havent worked in an office

Office Space is an instant classic for any office workers out there. Office Space follows the life of Peter (Ron Livingstone) a tired and bored office employee working for Initech, under control of the worst boss known to man, Bill Lumbergh (fantastically played by Gary Cole). Lumbergh is everyone who has ever worked in a office's worst nightmare. Full of smarm and fake sincerity. His 'mkay' will haunt your dreams for years to come. The main story ...
...The main backbone of Office Space is the relationship between the 3 main 'heroes' of Office Space, Peter, and his friends Michael Bolton (a put upon David Herman) who goes mental at the slightest comparison between himself and the real michael bolton, and also Samir who is constantly frustrated that no one can say his second name. The movie basically covers what it's like to work in an office on a day to day basis and will appeal to anyone who is ... Read review
