DVD Description
What began as a spin-off of popular sitcom HAPPY DAYS evolved into superstardom for Robin Williams in the pleasantly bizarre 1970s television series MORK AND MINDY. Hatching from an egg-shaped spacecraft, alien visitor Mork (Williams) lands on Earth to investigate the planet's inhabitants and report his findings to his superior Orson, who appears only as a disembodied voice. Mork finds shelter and friendship with an average Earth woman, Mindy McConnell (Pam Dawber), who serves as bemused foil to some of her roommate's more otherworldly behaviour, such as talking to plants or drinking through his fingers. Williams' manic style is tailor-made for his rainbow-suspendered, fish-out-of-water character, and much of the series' charm springs from his eccentric mannerisms and uncanny impersonations. This collection includes every episode from the show's third series. Na-nu, na-nu!
Advantages: Robin Williams is out of this world in a truly wacky sitcom Disadvantages: Dawber's character is underused; lack of special features

PART ONE: THE SCREEN DEBUT OF THE WONDERFUL WILLIAMS
In 1997, the US magazine Entertainment Weekly declared that Robin Williams was the "funniest man alive" and is the "Tasmanian devil of comedy." Ironically, it was also the same year that he won the Academy Award...

Advantages: Good, thought-provoking story Disadvantages: Spacey can get a bit smug and annoying
...K-PAX is a weird movie. It’s a bit like Mork and Mindy, with plenty of One flew over the cuckoo’s nest thrown in. And yes, it’s probably no accident that both of these shows are fairly dated, originating in the 70s, in fact. Like both of them, K-Pax has a slightly dated, or perhaps even a timeless, feel.
Kevin Spacey plays Prot, awho is presented as either a visitor from outer space, or a madman who thinks he’s a visitor from outer space. This is obviously one of the matters we are expected to make our own minds about. So don’t think I’m going to give things away by letting on!
(And I might not know, anyway).
Spacey plays the role of Prot extremely confidently, so much so that as soon as I saw him, I found myself really wanting to believe that he is what he claims he is – an alien from a planet...

Advantages: So much animated fun! Disadvantages: You will sing the songs forever!
...extras mostly for the kids with interactive games.
The voices provided by the original cast form the TV series are excellent including Tom Kenny as Spongebob, with additions of Scarlet Johansen as King Neptune's daugter Mindy and Alec Baldwin as Denis. The stars knew that this would be a hit and made an excellent move getting involved.
I would recommend this film to anyone with a young family, you can sit and watch it with them and be entertained. But also anyone who is young at heart and would like to be a goofy goober!
Availability:
Amazon £3.99! Fantastic price buy it, buy it now!
Play.com £12.99 Bad price very bad price!
hmv.co.uk also £3.99
There is no excuse then it's cheap, it's cheerful and it's highly entertaining....
