John Landis' Three Amigos comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that preserves the original widescreen ratio of the 1986 theatrical release. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include cast and crew bios. This is obviously a title no one gave much thought to before releasing. It is redeemed slightly by the inexpensive list price, but the unimpressive picture and sound as well as the lack of extras is sure to displease fans of this cult favorite.

Classic Comedies

I liked this movie as kid, so go figure, but its still a classic film to watch. The comedy is very over the top and probably couldn't pass as movie to watch because it isn't politically correct
The concept was great idea, but the follow thru lack something, maybe chemistry with the actors. It also seem like they tried so hard to be funny and it didn't work
Just think about if this actually happened to you, you work at a company that just promoted you to vp, but than is caught up in scandal that points everything to you. So what would you do? Well Jim Carrey and Tia Leoni shows how to handle to crazy corp
Todd Phillips brings television cops Starsky and Hutch to the big screen with this affectionate action comedy that stars Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson as the title duo. The film debuts on DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film. The seventies-style clothing comes across just as vividly at home as it did on the big screen. English and French soundtracks are both available, while English, French, and Spanish subtitles can be accessed. Supplemental materials include a commentary track by the director. Phillips spends the majority of the track discussing how great his actors are and revealing many of the obscure references to the old series made during the course of the film. A short featurette with Snoop Dogg about the costumes he wore in the movie, a blooper reel, the original theatrical trailer, and a very funny mock-featurette on the making of the film (in which all the interviewees pretend that they hated working together) round out this solid release from Warner Bros.

Funny Remake

I never saw the tv series, but if it was anything like this remake movie than I probably would have liked it too. Snoop as Huggy Bear was a role he born to play

Another great movie from Adam Sandler

Mr. Sandler had a collections of movies in the 90s that was just a cult classic by all means and this movie was at the top of my list of being the funniest. You gotta love the whole way he revisited the 80s from the set design, lango, fashion and crazy hair. The only problem for me was not seeing that token jerry curl black couple doing the cabbage patch dance. Now thats 80s
Television's most controversial comedy series arrives on DVD uncut and uncensored with Paramount Pictures' release of Chappelle's Show: Season One Uncensored. Presented in 1.33:1 full-frame, the image is clear and solid overall. Sporting solid, well-balanced colors and even skin tones, episodes as presented here will likely look even better than when originally broadcast. Audio is presented in English Dolby Digital Stereo and, while it may not be the most dynamic mix to hit the DVD scene, it's strong and clear of hiss or distortion. Though avid viewers are sure to be pleased with the presentation of the individual episodes, it's the extra features that make this disc a must-have. It would have been easy to release the disc with just a few outtakes and a look behind the scenes, but Chappelle and company have really gone the distance in adding some truly valuable extras. Commentary by Chappelle and series co-creator Neal Brennan is offered on five episodes, and while it may not be as funny as the show itself, it certainly gives humorous insight into the team's creative process and some fun behind-the-scenes anecdotes. The inclusion of almost 30 minutes of bloopers and deleted scenes (which also includes commentary) is sure to elicit laughs from even the most jaded, and the opportunity to see longtime comic Paul Mooney at his off-the-cuff best as he takes questions for the "Ask a Black Dude With Paul Mooney" segment shows one of comedy's greatest minds in action.

Just a funny series that will have you rolling in your chair, asking him to stop. Dave is just a comic genius
I love this concert, because he had everyone that I wanted to hear, Jill Scott, Mos Def, and Ms Erykah Badu who did her thang. That is a block party, because even during the rain they still jammed
This is movie sucks. The concept was a good idea, but poorly acted. I remember in high school where this would happen, but the girls was too happy in being with the popular guy to join forces to bring him down. This movie again just sucks
The funniest man on television returns as season two of the wildly popular Chappelle's Show arrives on DVD courtesy of Comedy Central Home Video. All 13 episodes are presented in 1.33:1 full-frame as originally aired and offer audio rendered in English Dolby Digital Stereo. As with the release of Chappelle's Show: Season One, fans of the hit series are certain to find plenty to laugh about in the abundant extra features present on this release. Take a look at the creative process as star Chappelle and series co-creator Neal Brennan provide audio commentary before diving into over an hour of bloopers and deleted scenes, and if you haven't split your sides wide open from laughter at that point, check out a pair of unaired stories from series regular Charlie Murphy before hearing the complete story of the conflict that spawned one of comedy's most notorious catchphrases with the extended Rick James interview. Of course, everyone knows that Chappelle is at his best when up on-stage with a live audience, and with an extra standup act rounding out the bonus materials, this disc is sure to keep fans laughing until the eagerly awaited third season of Chappelle's Show.

I mean, what could you say about the Chappelle's Show that hasn't been said already? It isn't funny...yeah only if he was talking about you. If you haven't got this dvd by now, than something is wrong with you. A classic show that could have went for a long time, if the executives wouldn't have tried to change what people think is funny
Jon Turteltaub's comic telling of the story behind the Jamaican bobsledding team, Cool Runnings comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. There are neither subtitles nor closed captions on this release. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer. This Disney/Buena Vista title does a fine job of presenting the film, but offers little else. Fans of the film will enjoy the disc, but there may not be enough here to interest others.
