DVD Reviews of Passport to Europe: England, Ireland and Scotland
DVD Review: Pretty
Summary: 3 Stars
This dvd shows the pretty parts of the Cotswolds, of London, Scotland and Ireland, but it is by no means an overall or accurate depiction of these sites. It is further marred by two flaws:
(1) I have to think that the hotels where the narrator stayed gave her free lodging in the best suites in exchange for her rather lengthy and lavish praise of the facilities, the views from the balconies, etc. Perhaps some viewers are interested in hotel bathrooms and king-sized beds, but I'm not.
(2) Too many guides and docents (and not just with respect to this dvd) feel the necessity to provide snappy patter, little jokes and esoterica, the latter of which is frequently inaccurate. Samantha Brown would be well advised to contain herself from the "cute" remarks.
The scenery on this disc is quite nice, but it would lead the innocent viewer into thinking that the British Isles were a series of postcard views.
