DVD Reviews of Saturday Night Live - The Best of Steve Martin
DVD Review: Not worth it!
Summary: 2 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised to receive this DVD as a christmas present, but upon watching it I had to change my mind. Who makes these "best of DVDs?" This is the second one I've gotten that has been completely off. It's like someone just compiled a bunch of random sketches that had Steve Martin in it and threw them together in this DVD. They definitely weren't the best of. Not only that, many of them were from the same 2007 (? I'm guessing here) performance he did when he was promoting "Pink Panther". For someone who has hosted SNL over 14 times, there should be a lot more footage to throw in other than stuff from that one performance.
Save your money and wait till something better comes out.
DVD Review: The Best of Steve Martin
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a Steve Martin fan. I enjoyed this DVD very much. There were a few pieces that didn't center around Steve Martin that sort of left me guessing, but in general the parts of Steve Martin on SNL that I remember were as good as ever seeing them again after a long period of time. Steve's KING TUT is toward the end and is my all time favorite. It's a good buy for the money if you remember the earlier Saturday Night Live days.DVD Review: Not worth watching more than once...
Summary: 2 Stars
This DVD didn't make me laugh even once. None of the sketches on this DVD seemed like they could be Steve Martin's best. It is also short, and the quality isn't very good. The sound was hard to hear on some parts, and the picture was blurry. There were too many scenes that just weren't worth watching at all, and the few that were almost funny didn't make up for the others that weren't. I might be the only one, but I didn't see what was so funny about the King Tut song. I used to think Steve Martin was funny, but now I can't remember why...DVD Review: Newer Issue is a better deal than this
Summary: 1 Stars
If you're interseted in this, then get the 2007 release which has 95% of this material plus additonal stuff, and shows much higher quality post-production.
DVD Review: The banjo playing skits are my favs
Summary: 3 Stars
A few funny ones and a few more I didn't like. As always some of the funniest bits don't make it to the dvd.
Description of Saturday Night Live - The Best of Steve Martin
Zany comic Steve Martin is one of Saturday Night Live's wackiest hosts. Wanna see why? Check out his nutty antics in these classic sketches and you'll laugh yourself silly.Featuring:The Festrunk Brothers (aka "The Wild and Crazy Guys")Theodoric of York Medieval BarberSenor LopezKing TutSystem Requirements: Running Time 80 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?NR UPC:?031398731825No other person has been a guest on Saturday Night Live as many times as the inimitable Steve Martin, which is what makes SNL's Best of Steve Martin compilation the finest of the series. This collection gives us not only clips of some of the show's funniest moments, but also a sense of how the show has evolved from the 1970s. Earlier monologues were rougher, less staged, but absolutely out of control in the best way, as Martin is given free rein to unleash his "happy feet," play the banjo, and generally explore his zaniness. The earliest clip dates from 1976 and the latest from the mid-'90s, showcasing the program's greatest players throughout the seasons--Chevy Chase, Laraine Newman, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey, Nora Dunn, David Spade, Jon Lovitz. The beloved classics are here, from "King Tut," with complete Egyptian regalia, to the arrow through the head to, of course, a "wild and crazy guy." Not enough for you? Well, "excuuuuuuse me." Also included are the Coneheads at home (with Martin playing a hapless IRS agent), "Jeopardy 1999," "Common Knowledge" (one of the wittiest SNL sketches ever), and ads for "Rise" and for "Steve Martin's Penis Cream." This collection will satisfy longtime SNL fans and is a great way to show newer fans what comedy is really about. --Jenny Brown
