Great Viewing
This movie is just plain fun, silly, silly fun. The premise is absurd: a scientist accidentally zaps his toddler with a magnification ray and the kid "blows up" to 120 feet tall and menaces Las Vegas. No one gets hurt in this humorous spoof of 1950s horror films in general and a sweet sequel of the classic Honey I Shrunk the Kids in specific. Watch it with your children and tell me which scene you liked best, the giant toddler refusing to take a nap or the hulking toddler dressed up in oversized hunting gear to look like "my wife's strange" uncle from Ukraine? This is a warm film. Lots of laughs.

toy car
I like the part when Adam picks up the car with the two teens in it and starts to play with the car.

Deja Vu
This is a great movie for kids. I know because once my 3 year old saw it, we didn't stop watching it the whole week. I think to date we have watched it at least 10 times. So, if you want your small children to be entertained...rent or better yet, buy this one. As an adult you may get tired of watching it but you can catch up on that rather much needed rest while the movie is on. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

An excellent follow up to the original..
Usualy sequals to movies like this can really lack and leave a lot desired but this follow up to the hit "Honey I shrunk the Kids" is actualy a lot of fun and a nice change on the size changing themes that were developed in the first.

This movie realized that we probably saw enough of the shrinking and being lost in the backyard idea and decided to do the opposite. A few new characters were introduced in this movie to make things work. The most important being Wanyes new son Adam who is a 2 year old toddler and will be the focus of this latest instalment with the wacky inventor and his family. Wayne now is part of a big company who wants to use his size alteration invention for their own uses. The only problem is he can't get the growth part to work correctly. On a surprise visit to the lab with his two sons to do some extra work, 2 year old Adam accidently gets caught under the rays of the growth ray only to wind up growing very slowly over a long period of time. Before they can blink he has grown to over 100 feet tall and terrorizing
downtown Las Vegas. To make matters worse an evil partner in the company is trying to take control of things and wants the kid destroyed.

Its a fun story that really has a lot of creative moments like His other son and the babysitter getting captured by the giant and stuck in his shirt pocked for most of the movie. They make it look really realistic with the giant baby towering over some famous Las Vegas casinos and the crowd reacting pretty realisticly. Kinda like one of those silly Godzilla movies but still with a Disney charm to it. It has a great story and a good climax and everything seems to end up happily ever after. Its defintely a movie that all ages would enjoy, some may not like it more then the first but this one relies more on fewer characters and a focus of one huge character compared to a lot of small characters. So its a fair tradeoff I feel and worked well.

Unfortunatly though the movie has a few problems. One was that they totaly write out the daughter sending her to college, the neighbors too are not mentioned and they don't really show a lot in the way of the kid growing . He sorta just is one size one moment and bigger another. They could have done a little more with such things but those are minor problems.

Bottom line. If you are looking for a fun, carefree and family safe movie. This is the one for you. If you liked the first or any of the "Honey I..." movies this is a must get for the colection. You won't be disapointed.

Tons of fun!
Another one of Wyane's wacky idea's brings him to enlarge his baby child to maybe 50 times! He causes all sorts of trouble for the parents, then the babysitter, and then the city. Ice cream trucks and teddy bears and fire trucks try to stop him, but it's not that easy when your life is at stake for a "squishdown". His mom then intentionally enlarges herself, too, when nothing works. Great movie to enjoy alone, with family, or maybe with friends! ... Read more

The dialogue is laughable, and the plot is by the numbers. But if you're a surfer (or an armchair surfer), this ultra-silly movie may prove hard to resist. It's the one about the kid from Arizona (Matt Adler), who's surfed only on artificial waves in that landlocked state, coming out to spend his last free summer hitting the serious water of Hawaii. He falls in with a mystical surf guru (Gregory Harrison), one of those surf-Zen masters obsessed with the cosmic significance of hanging ten, but he's also tempted by the flashier stunts of the younger surf crowd. Oh, and the Arizona kid also gets romantic with the prettiest girl on Oahu (Nia Peeples), which precipitates trouble with her resentful native family. If the story's no winner, the surfing action is excellent, with many real-life surfers contributing their talents. For shredders, a guilty pleasure. --Robert Horton ... Read more

ho bra, lines so great. try watch?
I LOVE this movie...got introduced to it by some Hawaiian mates at Uni, and now I've seen it about a gzillion times...got my friends Down Under hooked on it, too...and my sister...anyone who watches it likes it. Don't own it yet, but it's on the 'to do' list I didn't surf before I watched it, and now-I'm learnin'! Anyone who has an appreciation for it should read all the reviews: you'll crack up and 'relive' the movie reading peoples' quotes. Also, I must say, it's not "we treat friends mo betta on the North Shore", it's "here on the north shore, we treat friends mo betta", then Turtle tosses his hair and drives off. However, Vince and Chandler are my favorites...awesome guys! Rick Kane is a weenie kook, and Chandler was SO right when he said, "you got a lot to learn, so why don't you just shut up and watch." also, there is a North Shore line for every occasion. Watch it. Love it...Learn it. use it.

Occy, Curren, Hamilton and the kid from Teenwolf...
...and that old guy from TRAPPER JOHN, M.D.

Ok, so this movie is from the Hot Tuna era of surfing when Billabong was lost in neon colors. So what? It's brilliant. Featuring some of the best surfers of the time, and the best surfers of our current time...with epic Pipeline surf. Get it just to have the chance to see Laird Hamilton decades before he became the big-gun town-master of Jaws Maui or TO' Tahiti.

Slightly cheesy lines...yes. Turtle...he's the man...the greatest...movie moved him so much he became a surf instructor. I'm so glad to finally have this movie on DVD. My tape version of it wore thin years ago.

It's simply a great movie that even non-surfers can appreciate. Even though I've surfed for over 20 years now, I still find this movie enjoyable despite it's "Gleaming the Cube" vibe....it's truly far better than that.

Also...when the heck are they gonna release Endless Summer 2 on DVD??? Every single Bruce Brown film ever made is on DVD but that one! What gives!?

Sorry for that...get this movie, get this movie, get this movie. You'll thoroughly enjoy it and get to capture a period of surfing not captured many other places.

no title
this movie rocks!! "Eh haole, you stay J.O.J. or what?"

Paddle Yo!
Ahhh, so many North Shore fans out there. I love it! I must say that myself and older brother have got to be the ultimate fans. Not to many people I'm sure can say they have taken surf lessons from John Philbin (Turtle). I don't say this to brag or boast, but that's how much this movie meant to a couple of guys from the West Coast of Florida. Like so many have said, North Shore touches your soul. It's hard to say what it is, but this movie is an absolute classic! No vulgarity, nudity, or violence. Just an all-around great "feel good movie." With of course, so many memorable quotes. No doubt my favorite movie of all time!

Anyways, we found out that Philbin is now teaching surf lessons in Southern California. After finding this out, we jumped at the chance to have him teach us. We packed our stuff and flew out from the east coast to Cali. What a great experience! I loved this movie as a kid, and to be paddling out in the Pacific Ocean with Turtle was an absolute thrill! Philbin's a very cool guy and an excellent surf instructor. If you have the means and are going to be in So. Cal, or live in Cali, and REALLY want to learn to surf, look up Philbin for surfing lessons. - Nice little plug for my boy John!

Laters Brah

"Paddle Yo!"...John Philbin

Chandler Surfboards North Shore T-Shirts Rule
"Chandler teach me how to big wave surf not even" Turtle
"Here on the North Shore we treat friends mo better" Turtle
"Yeah, design thing...design me right out of the picture howle"
"He one bad ripper yeah. I hear he break his stick he shred so bad"
"Scrub it kook!"
And the list goes on. If you love the movie you can quote every line. The DVD rules. Kudos to the company for actually believing in this film, after all of these years, and including interviews with the original cast.
This film touched a nerve in a whole generation of surfers and wanna be surfers alike.
If you love it like I love it, send an email to skatervet@yahoo.com. I'll send you a pic of the tribute Chandler Surfboards North Shore Hawaii T-shirt like the one Rick Kane (Matt Adler) wore at the end of the movie. Maybe one can be yours.

Not Just For Kids...
...in the age of Pokemon, the Powerpuffs and Sailor Moon, one can see how this oftentimes tongue in cheek inspired silliness is one of my daughters' favorites...mine also. See huge stars like Laurence Fishburne (years, I say, years before he performed Othello), Phil Hart and S. Epatha Merkerson have fun teaching the 2-5 year old contigency...it is great stuff I believe you and your kids will get a kick out of...

Beautiful and intense
Episode 1: Beautiful acting performed by a star studded cast including: Phil Hartman(Kapn Karl), Lawrence Fishburne(Cowboy Curtis) John Paragon (Jambi) and of course, the creator of everyones favourite laugh, Paul Reubens aka Pee-Wee Herman.

Great Fun with Pee Wee!
Pee Wee's playhouse is inspirational and incredibly imaginitive. My 3 and 5 year olds love it! After their Barney, Little Bear, Thomas the Tank, etc., they don't know quite what to think of Pee Wee, but they keep asking for it since they first saw it several weeks ago. I love Pee Wee's uncoventional humor and all around wackiness! I hope it inspires humor and a different way of looking at things in my children. ... Read more

One of Halle Berry's first star vehicles, The Rich Man's Wife has a quirky, unearned twist for an ending, but everything else is pretty obvious. So obvious, it's possible to review it like this:

See Halle.
Halle is a wife.
See Halle's husband.
The husband is mean.
See the barfly.
Halle tells the barfly how she feels.
The barfly is not well.
The barfly kills Halle's husband.
The barfly tricks Halle.
Extort. Extort. Extort.
Halle has to run.
Halle has to fight.
Halle has to carry this movie.
Act, Halle! Act!
Halle has no help.
Plot, people! Plot!

Split in two
"The Rich Man's Wife" has potential, it really does, but it turns out to be too much like the plot of something you'd watch on LIFETIME (a network that claims to be good for women, but continually features tortured females running from bad men.) How many times can you tell the same cliched story before it bores you to tears? The pluses in this film are Halle Berry, Clea Lewis and the cinematography. There are too many cons to list here.

The "big" plot twist (and this was right after THE USUAL SUSPECTS and a few years before plot twists became all the rage) is ludicrous after it follows ninety minutes of a flashback that is nothing more than mixed-up foreshadowing. No matter what context you place the "this is what happened" in, it still does not connect well with the ending. The ending appears to have been slapped on at the last minute. "Hey," the writers must have thought, "let's throw in a completely misplaced plot twist." Unlike MULHOLLAND DRIVE (a wonderfully complex film), the fact that this film does not make sense is due to poor writing, NOT a great abstract mind as in the case of David Lynch.

In reference to a previous reviewer who seemed disturbed that a black man (who was unjustly accused of the murder) rightfully sought justice: this aspect of the film was one of the few times it broke tradition and tried to become a meaningful film. Racial profiling, unfortunately, is something that still happens in a police department and Detective Lewis was more than justified in pointing out his colleague's racist tendencies.

Every time the film started to go somewhere that could have made it a strong film (exploring the volatie relationship of marriage, the horrible impact of racism on someone's life, infidelity) it suddenly turned back into a cheesy Lifetime movie.

Holy Halle Crap!!
It's one of Halle Berry's(The X-Men movies, Gothika) first movies for jebus' sake. The only good thing about this movie is seeing Clive Owen(Gosford Park, the upcoming King Arthur) in it but he doesnt even make this movie gold, the only said thing is I knew who would kill him and the way he died,damn this director for casting his behind. Peter Greene(Under Siege2, Pulp Fiction)plays another badguy, like we havent seen that over and over again, he really needs to get better roles. Christopher McDonald(Terminal Velocity, Quiz Show)plays Halle Berry's wife and who dies. Things happen and it gets all crappy and once you know it the movie is done with. Wasted of a good cast.

Rich man's wife is a poor excuse for a movie.
The Rich Man's wife is a poor excuse for a thriller. Dull, predictable and bland. The only thing good about this film was the cinematography and the way Halle Berry looked in those designer clothes. I guess the writer/director was too busy with the visuals to work on those more important pieces the film like the story and the acting. I hope by reading this review you'll avoid wasting the 90 or so minutes of your life this movie will steal from you.
In the movie Halle Berry plays Josie, the Barbie doll wife of a powerful TV executive being accused of the murder of her husband. The story starts out in a police station where Josie a rich trophy wife is eager to tell her story without a lawyer present. Their marriage is on the rocks. He's turned to drinking and she's turned to someone else. (Clive Owen) She wants a divorce but will lose everything because she signed a pre nuptial agreement. In a desperate attempt to save their marriage, guess what-they go on a vacation in the mountains. When he decides to leave early to do some business, Josie is left to fend for herself and guess what-She heads to a bar where guess what- there's a grimy looking weirdo named Cole to greet her there. She tells the weirdo all about her problems and his proposal IN A BAR FULL OF PEOPLE is-guess what-Let's kill your husband. Soon afterward Cole then takes her on a terrifying drive and menaces her in her house. She picks up a gun and her scurries away. End of act one. Act II opens with the two of them having a birthday party. Richman decides to go to an ATM to pick up some cash guess what in his car the mysterious weirdo is there to "carjack him" There's a big struggle in the rain but he eventually kills him-WITH THE SAME GUN FROM THE CABIN WITH HIS BARE HANDS. Next he breaks into Josie's house WEARING GLOVES to tell her what he's done. Shouldn't he have been WEARING the GLOVES when he was doing the killing? It would help with that pesky GUNPOWDER RESIDUE left on his hands from FIRING the gun. They say Josie was a high school dropout; but I think this character dropped out of elementary school; she actually believes his silly argument about being an accomplice. I guess they had another 60 or so more minutes of time to waste. The police show up and we get some idiotic lines about racial profiling and black people being brought in for questioning. From there we learn that the weirdo was actually a hired hitman who was hired by Josie's lover to kill her so she could get the money and they could be together. I know you're shaking your head reading this because I was too. Weirdo now has upped the ante and is blackmailing the lover and Josie. In another ridiculous plot twist Josie learns that the rich man left no will and the money will be tied up for a year in probate court, so she will have no money. THIS IS THE SAME MAN WHO WAS SMART ENOUGH TO HAVE A LAWYER MAKE UP A PRE NUP CONTRACT, BUT NOT SMART ENOUGH TO HAVE A WILL. But the story moves on in spite of this plot hole. At the funeral we see the ex-wife of the lover and the police taking pictures. They get a shot of the lover and Cole who is conveniently there to threaten Josie and the lover once more. She's so scared of him in public, but all of a sudden gets courageous during a late night meeting to give him the money she got from hocking her jewelry. She takes a revolver with her and threatens to kill him. He takes the SIX SHOT REVOLVER from her and fires off SEVEN shots as she escapes back to her car. Josie learns that Cole and her lover were part of the plot to kill her husband. End of Act II.Act III opens up with the lover telling her that Cole has broken into the house. Josie calls the police but the call is convienetly disconnected when the lights go out. Cole then shoots lover in the head and he falls through the window setting off the alarm Josie scurries about the house to escape but when confronted by the weirdo she fights him and kills him. She's arrested and since the men had all the evidence she's let go In the final plot twist we find out the ex wife and Josie planned to kill all the men all along and have pulled the wool over the cops eyes as they drive off into the sunset. What are they happy about? These two dummies are BROKE NOW. The 30 grand fell in a plothole. As golddiggers they'd actually be better off if they both stayed married to their husbands. At least they could have a STEADY INCOME and a LOT OF STUFF.
Halle Berry struggles in the role of Josie, due to the weak direction. Her uninspired performance is lethargic and she has no chemistry with the Owen or any of the other actors. Instead of feeling scared with her or disappointed with her character's bad marriage I found myself laughing at these scenes because the director did not prepare the actors with the right motivation for each shot. And the actors who play the cops are so lethargic they just phone it in. Her script is awful too; the plot is predictable and the dialogue is cartoonish. If you're a Halle fan in need of a Halle fix rent it. If not pick Up Bryan Singer's Usual Suspects or Charade With Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant.

Nice Wife:)
Well, this is actually in my opinion one of the better movies Halle has been in. Sure, it is rather predictable but nevertheless it has it's moments and Halle is gorgeous as always. She really kicks booty in this movie too. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie...there is plenty of violence and predictability to the plot but I thought it was an overall worthwhile watch.

Nice Movie.....
I actually enjoyed this movie, thought that I wouldn't like it after the negative rewiews that was given at the box office. But I also feel this movie is not for everyone. After the ending I sat in front of the T.V wondering what the hell had happened, but after watching it for the second time. Great movie, makes u think, but for most people it'll just go right over their heads, they wouldn't understand it. ... Read more

This was the highlight of my day!!
If you like things big and dumb, then this movie is for you, cause you're probably big and dumb. Despite not really having a plot, the movie lacks any profesional actors besides the guy from Kung Fu, Peter Wolf. The best part was the total lack of explaination for anything that happened during the entire movie. The only way this movie can provide any entertainment is if it is viewed like Army of Darkness, not really taken seriously.

Almost as good as ...
This movie is almost like living with the British. It ... from the moment it starts to the moment you you realize you're naked in the back yard burning in a bon fire. The barbarian brothers should have been ... after their first movie. The acting was almost as good as the new star wars movie. The only thing that kept me watching was the fact that I can't find the remote and I'm so tired that it's funny to watch mullets flap around. The fact that it made it onto TV much less video makes me want to ... myself.

The reason why it didn't get 5 star rating is because...
While the plot and script of this movie is written very well, the reason why it didn't get a 5 star rating from me is because of the cast. The Barbarian brothers are cool, they deserved atleast a nomination to the oscars. The problem is due to the babes in this movie... there weren't any. They should have casted hotter chicks to off-set the actions. My favorite re-occuring line from this movie is "Can't find Second Gear...", if you watch it you'll understand. Paul and David should make a comback "Double Trouble 2", if I was a producer, I'd fund it!

Brother, This is the Most Huge Movie ever, brother!
This movie is seriously radical, daddy. The action is superb, the acting puts DeNiro, Nicholson, Brando and the like to shame, brother. The Barbarian Brothers were the finest comedic-action duo since Tango and Cash, brother. If you like mullets, Camaros, Oakland Raider half shirts, Oakley razorblades, monster trucks, boys with toys being boys, and all things that ROOL, this movie is for you, daddy. Buy this film now, for hours of entertianment. Check out Twin Sitters too, Daddy. I prey to God every day that this movie is rereleased on DVD. This truly is the finest movie EVER made. Possibly better than the entire Lord of The Rings Trilogy and without a doubt finer than anything put out by George Lucas. ... Read more

Watch the film closely
For all of you sharp eyed disney fans out there(like me) you may notice a short scene of 'Mickey and the Beanstalk'.

Wonderful follow up to the first

Fun Flick!
Quality special effects, good family fun, and Keri Russell in a bikini - what's not to like about this movie? Check it out...

OK sequel, still fun, but not as great as the first movie
Honey, I Blew Up The Kid (1992) was a sequel to the the 1989 hit "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids". As always with most sequels, they are never as great as the original film. However, there are still some funny moments in this one, and I think its still an OK film to watch for family viewing. Rick Moranis and Marcia Strassman return as Wayne and Diane Szalinski, reprising their characters from the first movie. Seeing their 2 and a half year old son get up to 112 feet (after being zapped by one of Wayne's inventions), the Szalinskis try to get things resolved fast, but of course, problems ensue during the course of the film. Veteran actor Lloyd Bridges also co-stars in this movie, along with a young Keri Russell, who would later be known as Felicity Porter on the TV series, Felicity (1998-2002). ... Read more

"Complainers? We don't need no stinkin' complainers!"
How can you resist a movie where they throw poodles out of windows, let kids drink from fire hoses, where Conan hacks people apart because some people turned a book in late? The movie does have its slow parts, but the spoofs and skits are absolutely hilarious. I won't tell you all of them because then you won't go and rent or buy this great movie. This movie is really good if you are a Weird Al fan, like REALLY off-the-wall humor, parodies, something that can make you laugh. Some people hate this movie, but I think it's because they're trying to see it as a movie. UHF is not really trying to be a movie, it's trying to be more of a collage of parodies. Anyway, see it for yourself. There's no telling how many stomach muscles you'll burst watching this hilarious film.

OK?? What's the point?
~80's music and movies always scare me but this movie has a SMALL exception. This movie is about when George Newman, a teenager with no job, ("Weird Al" Yankovic) gets permission from his uncle Harvey (Stanley Brock) to run a television station with his friend Bob (David Bowe), the really weird janitor Stanley Spadowski (Michael Richards), the television reporter wannabe Pamela Finkelstein (Fran Drescher), and a laboratory scientist from another planet named Phllo (Anthony Geary) while trying to avoid another television company owner (Kevin McCarthy) from taking over his company U-62, and turning it in to a parking lot . This movie is what I like to call a "slapstick movie" which is a move with nothing but mere jokes and gags. Many of the zany programs on the station that George runs are called "Wheel of Fish" (A cross between "Lets Make a Deal" and "Wheel of Fortune"), Raul's Wild Kingdom", "Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse", "Fun with Dirt", "Ghandi II" and "Strip Solitare". A lot of these things just don't make sense! This movie is rated PG-13 and has Language, Adult Content, and Rude Remarks. It's kind of weird but kind of funny in an odd kind of way. Raul's Wild Kingdom was hillarious when Raul (Cliff Stephens) shakes up an ant farm and says "OHHH! They're really mad now!" and when he throws a poodle out of a three-story window because he thinks he can teach it to fly. Ghandi II was also quite funny along with "Conan the Librarian" and "Spatula City". This movie is overall in my opinion, ALRIGHT but next time MGM/UA makes a movie, don't put Weird Al in it!~

Cult Classic
If you are a fan of Weird Al's parodies, this is the DVD for you. I know some people don't get it (a.k.a: Roger Ebert and some other critics). Yeah, the plot is a tad weak, but the main focus of this project was to give Al an outlet into doing parodies of movies and TV. There are many priceless gags in the movie ("Raul's Wild Kingdom" and "Ghandi II" come to mind). There is also a fabulous performance by Michael Richards (a.k.a.: Kramer from "Seinfeld") as the station's janitor turned TV star. There are also appearances by Victoria Jackson (SNL) and Fran Drescher (The Nanny).
The audio commentary is fantastic. You get to hear about what inspired some of the scenes and also what was not included in the movie. You also get to find out why the DVD wasn't released until June 4, 2002! There are deleted scenes on the DVD in the bonus material including a fantastic one of Michael Richards ad-libbing an entire scene!

weird al
if you liked weird als music,youll like this movie.its very silly but loads of fun.the kids will like it.if you are worried about how cool you are all the time and cant relax then dont watch this because its a movie for people who likewhat they want.individuals and dreamers.the bad guy is this old man from a tv station who is als rival when he has to run a tv station.this movie is very very funny.the bad guy is a real pain in the ass.its definately worth watching!

THE BEST of random humor!

Hey Man, This Is On DVD Down Under Man!!!
Here in Australia this is available now on DVD!!! Tho i'm pretty disapointed with it. I had it for year's on the end of somthing else on VHS but I ran out of room on the VHS and never got to see how it ended... and I was sadened to know that my VHS version was only missing probably the last 3 minute's of the film, or the final song :(

Paying $16 Australian is not too bad. But it really saden'd me to find out it all only run's for about 50 minute's!!!! It dosent even go for an hour :( Please, If Universal ever read this, and you sometime in the future plan a release of this on DVD in the USA, then dont put it as it's own DVD, make it a bonus feature with another great Cheech & Chong film, 50 minute's is more a bonus material length man, not a DVD on it's own.

This look's like it was made for MTV or somthing? It's the last hurrah from Cheech Marion and Tommy Chong, it strays alot from any of the previous films, but it has it's moments! It basicly is kind of an interveiw with them, but on there terms, As they have produced a new album, and now they wanna make a video to it... there's some funny stuff in there, somtimes i never know if there serios on some things, or if it was planned, or rehersed, or just did it on the spot? But really, If Americans get a propper release of this on DVD, then I'd rather know it was a bonus feature on somthing. A 50 minute long movie with no captions & no bonus features is not worth having on it's own seperate issue. t should be a bonus feature!

"Born In East LA" and the last of Cheech & Chong until 1997
Cheech & Chong officially split after they appeared in AFTER HOURS (1985). It wasn't until 1997 (12 years later) during the "Wild Card" episode of the CBS tv series "Nash Bridges" did they reunite in a professional way. This Cheech & Chong "Get Out Of My Room" (1985) is all recorded on professional video. It plays like a documentary where Cheech wants to do a music video "Get Out Of My Room", but Chong just wants to talk to girls. Actually, this is Richard "Cheech" Marin's first time as Director. "Elvira" Cassandra Peterson has a cameo appearance as well as Beverly D'Angelo and Jan Michael Vincent. Includes the hit video "Born In East LA" which was a take-off from the original tune "Born In The USA" by Bruce Springsteen. Both Cheech Marin and Bruce Springsteen have credit for "Born In East LA". The weird "Love Is Strange" video also included in this video.

The Last Hurrah for Great Comedy Duo
What can I say about this truly entertaining comedy album? It's nostalgia for Generation X'ers such as myself who were "de-virginized" by Cheech & Chong's randy & off-beat drug related humor. For budding adolescents at the time, listening to their ridiculous & truly crude comedy was, strangely enough, appealing! The highlight of this album, of course, is Cheech's spoof of Bruce Springsteen's hit song "Born in the USA". BORN IN EAST L.A. is still a great tune to perk up the day. As a testament to their memorable comedy talents, this is a true collectible for any fan. I just wish these guys reunite one of these days.

big dissappointment, man...
WARNING! Anybody who's seen "up in smoke" and thinks "hey, lets get some more of that excellent entertainment" - well, think again. Get Out Of My Room is poor, to say the least. Not a single decent joke, no creativity, no running-gags....

Hey man, Its Cheech and Chong
This has nothing to do with any of their earlier comedy flicks. It's just a music movie. It's not their typical pothead comedey UP IN SMOKE. So if you don't like their music don't buy this moive. But overall I liked the music, and it's got my favorite actor Tommy Chong. ... Read more

every breath
liked the movie very much, but give the soundtrack 5*+ would like to get the soundtrack but can't find it any where.?? could you help??

ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!
To say the absolute least this movie was by far the most suspense filled, chilling and exciting movie I have ever seen. And believe me, I have seen my share!!! I was searching the web to find the soundtrack because it is awesome too if you enjoy sensual jazz!!! I first saw this movie in 1994 while living at home in Chicago. It is now 1999 and I still get chills up and down my spine just thinking about it!!! It's deep and it truly keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish!!! If I'm not mistaken, I believe I cancelled a date to finish watching this movie. Yes, it was that good and well worth it...even though he was gorgeous! By the way, did the actors receive any recognition at all for this movie? And please tell me how I can get the soundtrack, PRETTY PLEEEEEASE! I gotta' have it!

Sincerely Submitted,

Mavis L. Collins ... Read more

Who thought Christmas could be so campy?
When this special was originally aired, I watched with gritted teeth, as I expected this prime-time family Xmas show to lose some of the edge of the Pee-Wee's Playhouse shows. Quite the opposite!
"Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special" is the funniest, smartest, campiest, most original holiday program to ever come out. How could it not be? Along with the regular Playhouse gang (including Lawrence Fishburne), we have a dizzying array of stars (Frankie & Annette, Cher, Oprah Winfrey, Little Richard, Magic Johnson, etc.) making guest appearances. And there's tons of music from the likes of Dinah Shore, Charo, k.d. lang, Grace Jones, the Del Rubio Triplets, etc. How all this was crammed into a 1-hour broadcast is still a mystery to me.
If your kids have attention deficit disorder, this video is for you. It's colorful, fast-moving and full of jokes they'll love and others they won't get! I've seen roomfuls of grown men watch "Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special" and laugh their behinds off. Well, maybe it is more for adults than children.
If you hate Pee Wee to begin with, you obviously won't like this. Otherwise, it's a total hoot that you'll play every year.
Lastly, as of this writing (November 2003), this video STILL ISN'T OUT ON DVD! I see the video shelves crammed with Christmas titles noone would buy, yet this classic remains in mothballs. Where is the justice in this world?

A Christmas Special for the Whole Family!
I bought this video about 6 years ago and we've watched it every Christmas since. It's a great show that not only kids loved, but adults enjoyed it too. Paul Reubens was a genius with this show and this special was evidence of that. It has classic guests such as: Charo, Cher, k.d. lang, Little Richard, Grace Jones, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah, Dinah Shore, Joan Rivers, Magic Johnson, Frankie Avalon, Del Rubio Triplets, and Annette Funicello. My favorite line is from Pee-Wee himself: "While the stockings were hung by the chimney with care and I hope everything on my list will be there." We watch this special every Christmas Eve along with the I Love Lucy Christmas Special.

A Christmas Classic!
Just about everything in this video is perfect! That intro with the Marines! Charo! All those Fruit-cakes! The Del Rubio Triplets!

The only lame part was k d lang's singing "Jingle Bell Rock". She gives probably the worst performance of her life - as good a voice as she has, I can't imagine why she didn't do better here. She could easily have done a cool western swing version or something. Instead she just shouts the lyrics while "fake laughing" the whole time. Also, I know that she's not known for caring a whole lot about her appearance, but what's with the granny dress and sneakers?

Highly recommended! They should put this on DVD, along with the old "Pee-Wee Herman Show" HBO Special!

Best Christmas Special EVER
Without a doubt - the best xmas special ever. Who else has Cher,Charo, k.d.lang, Frankie & Annette Zsa Zsa Gabor and Grace Jones on one show??? My friends and I would have our Christmas in July parties just as a reason go get together and watch it. To this day we still quote it. It's beyond cult classic.

Of course, all the playhouse favorites are here too: Pteri, Randy, Magic Screen....and the jewish dinosours.

One complaint: WHY ISN'T THIS ON DVD???????

Magically ridiculous
It's not typical TV jokes that make this video so funny. It's just how ridiculous the whole thing is. You don't have time to stop and think as Pee-Wee welcomes a bizarre array of guests from Magic Johnson to k.d. lang, as well as all the Playhouse regulars. Who knew Little Richard could skate? Why was someone mailing Grace Jones to the White House? (Ronald Reagan was celebrating his final Christmas in office when this came out.) Why is Frankie Avalon making Christmas cards with a potato?

When Pee-Wee stops to point out the real meaning of Christmas, I was expecting a watered-down "time for giving and sharing" message, but he actually acknowledges the religious meaning. Talk about unexpected! So just forget about Pee-Wee's offscreen trouble, and enjoy the show. ... Read more

A fun movie filled with quirky characters.
Echo Park is an extremely funny movie, filled with some classic humor presented by a trio of truly quirky characters. Perhaps Susan Dey's best movie of all time! The character that is an Arnold Schwarzenegger wannabe is terrificly funny! This film is more timely now than ever!

Incredibly offbeat, interesting, good lines, very funny.
I've only seen this thing once, but loved it. I cannot believe that a movie this good isn't released on video.

I Like Echo Park - the neighborhood
The movie itself isn't bad, but what I like best is the locale. Echo Park is a neighborhood that, while it might not be the safest place, has a lot of character. I also enjoyed watching a younger Tom Hulce work with an offbeat script. The ending is too abrupt and the movie gets rather bizarre at times, but at least it is unique. And it is more unique in a good, rather than bad sense. ... Read more

PeeWee Herman
First off, I received the tape immediately. It was BRAND NEW AND SPOTLESS. I thank them for that. It was a very great transaction. The film was so funny that we all near died laughing over it. Tears came from our eyes. Too funny - a night filled with entertainment. I'll definitely buy more tapes from them. Thank you SO much. ... Read more

Hey Man, This Is On DVD Down Under Man!!!
Here in Australia this is available now on DVD!!! Tho i'm pretty disapointed with it. I had it for year's on the end of somthing else on VHS but I ran out of room on the VHS and never got to see how it ended... and I was sadened to know that my VHS version was only missing probably the last 3 minute's of the film, or the final song :(

Paying $16 Australian is not too bad. But it really saden'd me to find out it all only run's for about 50 minute's!!!! It dosent even go for an hour :( Please, If Universal ever read this, and you sometime in the future plan a release of this on DVD in the USA, then dont put it as it's own DVD, make it a bonus feature with another great Cheech & Chong film, 50 minute's is more a bonus material length man, not a DVD on it's own.

This look's like it was made for MTV or somthing? It's the last hurrah from Cheech Marion and Tommy Chong, it strays alot from any of the previous films, but it has it's moments! It basicly is kind of an interveiw with them, but on there terms, As they have produced a new album, and now they wanna make a video to it... there's some funny stuff in there, somtimes i never know if there serios on some things, or if it was planned, or rehersed, or just did it on the spot? But really, If Americans get a propper release of this on DVD, then I'd rather know it was a bonus feature on somthing. A 50 minute long movie with no captions & no bonus features is not worth having on it's own seperate issue. t should be a bonus feature!

"Born In East LA" and the last of Cheech & Chong until 1997
Cheech & Chong officially split after they appeared in AFTER HOURS (1985). It wasn't until 1997 (12 years later) during the "Wild Card" episode of the CBS tv series "Nash Bridges" did they reunite in a professional way. This Cheech & Chong "Get Out Of My Room" (1985) is all recorded on professional video. It plays like a documentary where Cheech wants to do a music video "Get Out Of My Room", but Chong just wants to talk to girls. Actually, this is Richard "Cheech" Marin's first time as Director. "Elvira" Cassandra Peterson has a cameo appearance as well as Beverly D'Angelo and Jan Michael Vincent. Includes the hit video "Born In East LA" which was a take-off from the original tune "Born In The USA" by Bruce Springsteen. Both Cheech Marin and Bruce Springsteen have credit for "Born In East LA". The weird "Love Is Strange" video also included in this video.

If you love bad movies, this ones for you!
I don't understand how these other reviewers can actually say that this is a good movie on it's own right. The fact is, it is absolutely terrible! Starring the Barbarian bros., the only reason one could have for watching this movie is to make fun of how moronic it is. However, although the movie is one of the worst I've seen, I give non-credit where non-credit is due, and I believe this is worth watching because it is SO unintentionally helarious. Five stars! ...
