DVD Review: My story? I was born a poor HD DVD.....
Summary: 4 Stars
Huh? I am not a bum. I'm a jerk. I once had wealth, power, and the love of a beautiful woman. Now I only have two things: my friends and... uh... my thermos. Huh? My story? Okay. It was never easy for me. I was born a poor HD DVD.....
The HD DVD version of The Jerk is a good update over the DVD since it's widescreen and has a better than average soundtrack of Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1, but really my only complaint is there were only 4 really sucky special features which were all in standard def. So, that's why it only got 4 stars.
Otherwise I watched it for all the comedy, and trust me you will not be disappointed unless you are so unhumorous like my grandma.
The Bottom Line - If you want to have a good laugh get this movie!
DVD Review: Was this ever funny?
Summary: 1 Stars
I hadn't seen this since my early teens; the year that it was released 30 years ago. I suppose that I hadn't thought to watch it again since then. But, I now know why: I rented it earlier this week with my 15 yr. old son, as we were trying to pick out a flick that might entertain. My pick, my fault: this movie is so over abundantly unfunny that I felt like I had betrayed my son. Thank gawd he's a gracious human being.
Was this movie's humor really legitimate at some time; is it still? Was it necessary to release a 26th anniversary edition? Or, was that out of the studio's feeling of some "loyal obligation"? Seriously, Fans: watch it at least everyday for a couple of weeks and then honestly ask yourself whether this comedy wasn't taking advantage the movie viewing public during Steve Martin's hey-days, rather than putting out legitimate comedy. I can't remember a time that his movies ever caused me to laugh. I have a vague memory that `Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid' may have... but, I don't wanna chance it. He was great in 'The Spanish Prisoner', however, which is a thriller/drama. Check that one out instead.
DVD Review: Never Got It
Summary: 1 Stars
. . i ordered this movie over a month ago and still never recieved it. .
Description of The Jerk
Carl Reiner (Where's Poppa?) brought comic Steve Martin to the screen in this mostly funny 1979 movie about a relentlessly stupid but innocent man, whom we get to know from childhood (where it never occurred to him that he was white as he was raised by a family of black sharecroppers) to romance (where he doesn't quite know what to do with Bernadette Peters). Martin is game as the moron, and this is the kind of film with funny moments people still talk about. --Tom KeoghGeneral DVDs
