Max and Paddy's Power of two workout

Advantages: Funny in parts
Disadvantages: Rubbish workout

...comedy. Were big fans of max and paddy and most things peter kay has done but not this. In its defence there are a couple of funny moments but these are few and far between, and if your using this as a workout dvd the jokes will not be funny at all the 2nd time round. My advise is to stay away from this one. ...

Review of Max And Paddy's Power Of Two (DVD)

PARTY TIME, EXCELLENT

Advantages: just a good film
Disadvantages: none

I know this is an ancient film, but while looking through Sky Anytime, the tv on demand kind of thing on Sky+ and Sky HD boxes I saw they had this. I have watched this film loads of times years ago, and thought it was funny then, but would it be any good now - 17 years after it was made? This film is a comedy and mostly features the 2 main characters.Mike Myers plays Wayne Campbell, and Dana Carvey plays his best friend, Garth Algar. It also features ...
...The film is pretty funny and it kind of looks like a reality tv show, as Wayne and Garth keep talking to the camera. The storyline is that "Wayne's World" is a popular underground cable access TV show which is done in Wayne's basement by him, Garth and a couple of their rock friends. The show doesn't seem to last long, about three minutes, A businessman attempts, and succeeds to purchase Wayne's World to promote Noah's Arcade, a chain of game arcades ...

Review of Waynes World (DVD)

Man o Man

Advantages: Witty, fast paced, classic
Disadvantages: A little cliched

...a list of 'oldies' on my DVD rental club and will admit that I only rented it because my man is called Godfrey! I popped onto Google to find out a little more to find that it has a list of recommendations including six academy award nominations and, being a skeptic, I think that it would have won a few if it wasn't subjected to the bias of the Academy against comedies! The action opens delving straight into the unfamiliar world of 1930s New York ...
...while a band of 'Forgotten Men' live on the city dumps. The spoiled daughter of a millionaire, Cornelia Bullock, is trying to convince one of the forgotten men to return into the city with her as one of the 'objects' on a scavanger hunt. She fails to convince the eloquent down-and-out Godfrey (William Powell) to return with her. Purely to spite Cornelia for her arrogance, Godfrey returns to the scavanger hunt but as an object scavanged by Cornelia's ...

Review of My Man Godfrey (DVD)

Even best friends can't share the same wedding day.

Advantages: Lots of funny moments, gorgeous dresses, flowers, etc to look at!
Disadvantages: None (in my opinion!)

...Ritz and seeing a beautiful bride coming out of the hotel with her husband on her arm. They make a pact there and then that their wedding will be in June at the very same venue. Liv played by Kate Hudson is a tough Associate lawyer and one of the prestigious law firms in Manhattan. She is known for getting her own way and taking no prisoners along the way.Kate Hudson plays a fantastic part, and will clearly not back down when tough choices need ...
...and is much more likeable as her character is eager to please, and also easily taken advantage of. As the film progresses, the two characters start to change, as the blessed day turns them into evil, desperate women determined to have their perfect day at absolutely any costs. The film is an interesting take on weddings, and most women who have been married will be able to see what the characters are going through. The perfect weddings mean that ...

Russell Howard is unknown to most people. Those people didnt realise Mock The Week was a comedy show with some great comedians. The DVD is fantastic. The jokes are original and about his life and is a non stop belly tickler. Since i first saw him on mock the week i have tried to see all his performances! I went to go see him live for the first time on friday just gone in manchester and it was brilliant. This DVD is a fantasic purchase and would ...
