Worth it just for the outtakes
The first part of the tape could be better. I thought the Mary Hart interview was pretty hokey back when it was broadcast. Also, they left out some of the funniest highlights of the series.
The "bloopers" and outtakes are hilarious though and make this tape worth buying. What I'd really like to see is this wonderful TV series in a DVD box set!

Excellent for Coach fans
The video has excellent out takes at the end, and is a very good retrospective of the entire series. It is slightly dated sine much has happened in the series since this was made, but the clips are very good and span he key elements that made Coach an xcellent show. ... Read more

Forgettable Fluff -- Strictly "High School"
Jason Priestley as box office draw? Get real! -- The story here is that of 3 childhood buddies and their obcession with Marilyn Monroe, told in flash backs. Nice 1950s & 60s "Americana", complete with golden oldie tunes, fashions, movie clips, cars and other period gimmicks. Other than the "time travel" perks, there's not much to see. A perpetually cigarette-smoking, babyfaced Priestly becomes annoying. The "tough guy" image of his character reminds on the just as unbelieveable Prince in "Purple Rain". This is no "Stand By Me", so be prepared for a disappointment.**

LOOKING FOR MARILYN.
"Calendar Girl" is about three young men in the '60s who go on a trip to Hollywood to try and meet their dream woman...Marilyn Monroe. Roy (Jason Priestly) is the leader of their little group and gets his hands on both a car and some cash to finance their adventure. Unfortunately, he didn't exactly obtain those things honestly. A couple of goons called the Gallo brothers go to Hollywood to try and find Roy. That's because the money that Roy got his hands on was stolen from them. The Gallos end up being the sole bright spot of the film. One of them is deaf and they use sign language to communicate. What's really cool is the way that they sign in unison throughout the film. They are so smooth in their signing that it is fascinating to watch them together. Stephen Tobolowsky (Antonio Gallo) is his usual humorous self and plays the part of a sarcastic thug quite well.

Unfortunately, the rest of the movie doesn't have as good of a flow to it. The three main characters don't have much in the way of charm or intelligence. They just kinda stumble along, occasionally coming up with pathetic schemes to try and get close to Marilyn. One of them eventually goes on a late night drive and stroll with Miss Monroe. However, it all seems rather anti-climactic and the movie quickly ends afterwards.

For those of you so inclined, you might want to check out "Calendar Girl" for the scene when they try to find Marilyn at a nude beach. It's extremely revealing for a movie that isn't rated R.

Teen age romp
This movie is light and funny, particularly if you like juvenile themes. The only reason I bought this film was because Steve Railsback is in it. Steve gives his usual solid performance and his role is the only meaningful one, as far as I am concerned. His portrayal of a father who is out of touch with a son who feels alienated from his father is touching and sad. The final confrontation between father and son and their reconciliation before the boy leaves for Viet Nam is the best part of the picture.

Like Marilyn Monroe? Check it out..........
Roy Darpinian (Jason Priestly) and his two buddies have the hots for Marilyn; back in the 50's and 60's, what guy didn't? This movie is really for those of us who just need to sit and watch a cute, campy movie that's fun and entertaining. (But, that's just my opinion.) This movie has parts that draw you in because they're so silly. (Jason isn't normally one of my favorite actors, but he plays his part to a "t" in this movie.) He has trouble communicating with his dad, they do work it out before Jason has to go off to Viet Nam. My favorite part is Jason and his father in the boxing ring "working it out" as a matter of fact, but only because they knew of no other way ..it was so sad, that's a plus. The guys get a chance to go to Hollywood and stay with the rich, Hollywood type uncle of Jason's character, so they take it. For one helluva week, they cavort all over trying to get a glimpse of Marilyn, if not speak to her directly. Stuff they get into.....they "boost" a cow haul it to her front yard, wet it down with the hose and pretend it's sad and mooing for her to come rescue it. (Ned, or one of them read she cried over a wet cow when she was young! Funny stuff) They have "bad guys" chasing Priestly for skimming some mob money from them............even that's funny.....there are no bloody parts and lots of light humor. One of the guys actually gets to go on a date with Ms. Monroe, much to his enjoyment...........then she dies, he hears it on the radio shortly after the date. (suicide, I think not!) Great little, likeable flick..........but, that's just my opinion......rent it. I had to have it for my collection....

A movie with bad acting
In "Calendar Girl," Roy (Jason Priestley) and a couple of his friends go on a wild goosechase when they find who they think is the real Marilyn Monroe. The three have always had a crush on Marilyn Monroe since they were kids and now they will do anything to meet her in person. However, they have some enemies who they must stay away from while they try to catch Marilyn.

"Calendar Girl" isn't a good movie. The reason I didn't like it is because it gets old just watching the three chase Marilyn Monroe the whole movie and mainly because the movie doesn't have good acting. Even the bad guys in the movie are unconvincing as the villains who try to get in Roy's way. I wouldn't recommend watching "Calendar Girl" unless you're real bored and there's nothing else on Tv. ...

Very Funny!!!
I was pleasantly surprised by "Malibu's Most Wanted"! It actually turned out to be a very funny movie. I was a little skeptical at first, but I can't deny that there were moments where I was laughing very hard.

The story revolves around Brad (a.k.a. B-rad), a rich kid from Malibu, who has completely taken on the thug lifestyle. Although he's never really left Malibu and gone to the real "streets" of L.A., he still feels that he's from the hood. Brad seems to be hurting his father's campaign to become governor, so two actors are hired to scare Brad "white". What happens to Brad, the actors, and an ambitious young lady will have you rolling!

Not only was Jamie Kennedy very good in his role as Brad, but I especially liked Taye Diggs' and Anthony Anderson's portrayals as actors trying to find their motivation for acting like thugs, which was very hard for the classically-trained characters.

Although the critics have been somewhat harsh while reviewing this movie, I would definitely suggest it. It's a cute movie that you can see when you want to have a good laugh. See for yourself!!![.]

This Sistah Loves Jamie Kennedy!
Jamie Kennedy is the bomb! Malibu's Most Wanted could have used some work but Kennedy plays the lead character with style and keeps you laughing when the film gets its worse. I've always liked Jamie since Scream because of his unique comedic style. He never ceases to amaze. In Malibu's Most Wanted Jamie gives the audience a lot to think about AND laugh at.

B-Rad ( Kennedy ) becomes the subject of a brutal joke. His father ( Ryan O'Neal ) inlists his campaign manager ( Blair Underwood ) to help him deal with his son. The problem is O'Neal's running for office and B-Rad's hip-hop antics are costing him votes. Thus, the kidnap plot of the year begins. And may I say it was a very funny and unique plot. We present Anthony Anderson and Taye Diggs ( two of the most popular black actors today ) playing actors. They know as much about the 'hood as B-Rad does so when they are hired to play gangstas and kidnap B-Rad the comedy really starts. They bring in a sistah, Shondra ( Regina Hall )to tempt B-Rad and she does just that. He ends up falling head over heels in love with her. Shondra finds herself attracted to him as well and why not? Jamie's hot whether he's white or black. I thought the transformation Anderson and Diggs did from actors to criminals was one of the funniest in the film but stands behind B-Rad hands down. Jamie rocked the house and though the film was cliched and stereotypical, you get a lot of laughs. I was hoping the film would stay original but it ended up being another Bringing Down The House, except Malibu's Most Wanted had more intelligence when it came to its audience. It didn't try to insult by having a bunch of black people do stupid things. What it did was educate in its own way showing that hip hop can truly be a culture of many flavors and can be used to bring people together. It may seem sappy but in the end you get a nice, multicultural comedy filled with interracial romance, rap stars, talking rats, bumping and grinding and all around fun. In the end B-Rad learns more about himself than he thought he would and so do we.

I think this film is worth a look and believe me, I love intelligent films. This film may not be the calibur of Hamlet but it wasn't supposed to be. I think people forget that this was a COMEDY, a film to watch to have a good time. You don't always have to have a film that's socially and politically correct. I'm a black woman and nothing in this film offended me. I appreciated the effort and loved the fresh spin on how blacks and whites relate to hip hop. This may not be your cup of tea and that's fine. But as Jamie Kennedy says in the film " Don't be hatin' " which is a fine line if you think about it. Especially if you haven't given the movie a true chance. I'd just watch it all over again for Jamie if nothing else. He is so fine. Give the film a chance and draw your own conclusions.

That is all there to say about B-RAD G(Jaime Kennedy) does a great job as a poser and believe me I hate posers that act like thugs and are not but he is very good.The police are afraid to go to his malls,everyone is strapped with a 9(9 Holes) and

Talk about taking a stereotype to the extreme! And someone please tell Anthony Anderson he cannot act is even less funny. Go away please.

Just barely three stars
Why would I watch a film like this? Well I have a teenage son and he and his friends think it's a crack up and have watched it many times over. I try and keep abreast on what they watch and like and so I gladly sat through this one twice.
I wouldn't own it, but my kids do and it's not all that bad of a flick. It's mostly a coming of age morality tale and the message it sends is mostly good and wholesome. It's probably not a good movie for the real young, but for most teens it's got nothing too bad and it's entertaining enough. ... Read more

Don't See Spot Run
Corny, corny, corny. I never did like shows about dogs, and this one is particularly stale. The plot, yet again, is ridiculously bad and the script must have been chewed on several times before it was finally processed. Everything I can think of about this movie is low-grade. Even the name implies that it's pretty stupid stuff. But it's these kinds of movies that kids will enjoy, though it does have some questionable humor that only adults would ever fully appreciate. I give See Spot Run two stars instead of just one because there were some moments of glory, some magical scenes in there that actually proved quite funny. See Spot Run makes a good family show, but if your intent isn't to hold the kids off for a couple hours, then please... there's no need to see this movie.

It's not THAT bad
In "See Spot Run," David Arquette stars as a bewildered mailman named Gordon who unwillingly runs into and starts keeping a dog named Spot, while also babysitting the son of the woman (Leslie Bibb) he has a crush on. Little does Gordon and the boy know that Spot just happens to be an FBI dog with a nose for mischievous people.

Ok, let me start by saying that the rumors you've probably heard by now are true. "See Spot Run" is TERRIBLE plot-wise, script wise, and so on. Parts, such as the story, are so terrible that some people might give up on it before they even finish watching it. Luckily for myself, I don't put most of the emphasis on a movie's script, story, etc., when I'm watching it and giving it my thoughts in a review. I mainly judge movies, especially comedies, by how entertaining they are.

"See Spot Run" has a bunch of parts that are simply hilarious. Whether Gordon is getting too familiar with a slop of dog feces or a zebra causes an explosion, "See Spot Run" is hilarious.

If you like comedy films just as long as they're funny, then I recommend getting "See Spot Run."

See Spot sit calmly and make everyone else run
(...)

First of all, the main character isn't a dog or a Mac-player. No, far from it. Suddenly it becomes a movie where the audience has to feel for David Arquette, who plays the stereotypical underdog (much like Jim Carrey's Stanley Ipkiss character from 1994's The Mask). David Arquette is usually so darn obnoxious that it's hard to believe you could ever relate to him. But this part allows him the freedom to play the sort of character that works best in this film. See Spot Run is like a more family-friendly version of Turner & Hooch, much quirkier too. One of my favorite scenes takes place in a pet store (imagine that, in a movie about a dog). And just when you think there couldn't be any more destruction in this set, all orchestrated to a cute pop song - "The Hamster Dance" - the film pulls a fast one on you!

The only thing that I think drags this film down, is that the dog plays smarter than the master. That's something we all know has been done before, and better. This dog is kind of an annoying, more intelligent entity than any of the people. But I loved the way the young boy's mother ends up not becoming the focus of the movie's plot. As always happens in lesser movies like this, the guy is always worrying more about impressing the woman than he is keeping his life together.

Nothing falls apart in this movie, things just go haywire. The damage is, often like it is in real life- artificial and not beyond repair. Surprises abound. The biggest surprise for me, was how I was able to actually keep watching. How I wanted VERY MUCH to see what was going to happen next. This was partly reinforced by the twisting of conventions throughout the move- but mainly I was shocked by how utterly enigmatic David Arquette is in this movie.

During my favorite scene in See Spot Run, in which he gets locked out of his apartment ending up in nothing but a long t-shirt, I found myself thinking thoughts I'd never thought about him before. I would never in a million years have figured him for a hunk. But after seeing him soaked by the sprinklers, that thin white cloth tightly wrapped around his beautifully firmed, round butt (which also has never been this generously large in portion before) - it's clear to me that he's got everything he needs for me to RECONSIDER him... This Arquette's got the beef in this movie- I always felt he should put on some weight.

But anyway, considering how many other family films are a LOT less appropriate for families than this, this movie is practically a breath of fresh air.

Funny, Funny, Funny!
If you like comedy, you'll love this movie! It has great slapstick humor combined with a touching story about a boy that becomes attached to a lost FBI dog. The dog helps catch two big league crime bosses and then has to choose between serving with the FBI or staying with the boy.

This is the dummest!
Please don't watch this unintelligent movie!!!!!! I can't put into words how stupid it is. It may have a few amusing parts but it is all based on crudity and plain stupidity. Why would anyone want to waste their time watching a bunch of stupid and sloppy humans? Good grief, don't we see enough of that in real life? Please, if you're looking for good comedy go with an older, time proven classic. This is one big waste of time! Liberals, people with low I.Q., and politcally correct followers will love this movie! As for the rest of us, skip this brainless movie. ... Read more
