...although Pierce Brosnan (who produced the film) gave a slightly uncomfortable performance as the barman. Well shot on location on a small island off the coast of Ireland. Some sensitive portrayals and characterisations, exploring the complexities of relationships within this small Irish community, disrupted by the arrival of a mixed race handsome young man at the bequest of his dying mother in New York. It is a story of love, prejudice and deep ... Read review

Advantages: Four great episodes, each from a different series.

...Futurama is an animated comedy by the legendary creator of the simpsons, Matt Groening.

Advantages: Brings Christmas back to reality
Disadvantages: nothing comes to mind

...To be honest, I've never really been a big Mickey Mouse fan, but have enjoyed the antics of Donald Duck and his nephews over the years. This Dvd However has a lot of appeal and has also changed my opinion and I now enjoy even watching Mickey. Brought this Dvd for my niece, who is eight, she insisted that we all watch, and every one enjoyed it, from the eight year old, my teenage kids also the four adults that were watching under duress, so all in all, not just a kiddie film, also a good family entertainment. The Dvd itself is a series of small adaptations, telling a range of Christmas tales, involving Mickey and Pluto, Mickey is so wrapped up in himself he almost loses Pluto as his loyal friend, Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck, as the competitive Bell's on ice, allowing competition and jealousy to get in the way of friendship...

Advantages: so funny!!!
Disadvantages: had to pay for it

So therefore I will only talk about the overall story and some of the good bits so I don’t ruin it for you all! I first bought the daddy day care DVD when my nephew saw a trailer for it, and being the sadistic little bugger that he is, he saw kids running riot and kicking adults therefore had to have it. Of course he had (coz I thought it looked cool too). The film starts off with two family men (Eddie Murphy and Jeff Garlin) who work in the promotion and advertisement department. Which is very time consuming for them and therefore they don’t have as much to do... Read review
