"...So, being someone who has actually seen these films, let's be fair. WHAT'S UP DOC is a terrific example of a screwball comedy with a winning cast. Barbra Streisand is laugh-out-loud funny, with spot-on timing and is sexy and tanned to boot on screen. UP THE SANDBOX, dramatically, is unlike anything Streisand ever did before or after... it took courage to take-on a role like this, and she can be proud of the "real woman" qualities that she brought to the role. THE MAIN EVENT is a good try... it has its funny moments and Streisand gives it her best. It's just not a terrific script. NUTS, however, is underrated... not only is the supporting cast superb, but Streisand gave a performance worthy of an Academy Award nomination. In all fairness, this is a terrific and enjoyable set, by an artist who has given much to the world of entertainment. Highly Recommended!!!!!"
GIMME A BREAK!

"It's really unfortunate that the first review posted on this site regarding this DVD set is by someone who is rude and disgusting. I don't ever want to read about someone deficating. Ok you didn't like it, but do you have to be so sick and cruel on top of it? Streisand is far from washed up. LOLI'm a long time fan and Barbra's new DVD set is wonderful. I personally liked "What's Up Doc" the best and appreciated the featurette on the filming of the movie. I think the selection offers great variety on part of her film career and shows diversity in her acting roles. "Up The Sandbox" is a special film and one that everyone who is even curios about Streisand should watch. It shows a whole different side of her and her performance is very genuine. I highly recommend this box set."
Wonderful Set

"Every movie here is great, and very differnt from one another! Barbras Warner Years were very eclectic, Sandbox seems to get better with age, The Main Event has always been funny and entertaining, Nuts is drama at its best and then theres the gem of them all Whats Up Doc, Barbra is hysterical, Madeline Cahn is Hysterical, The whole Movie is one great laugh, a ride you want to go on time and time again!!!"
Terrific Set

"In this whole boxset when i first got it i had only seen "Nuts" the most underrated Streisand film it has the quality OF A GREAT PERFORMANCE , The performance was superb this movie should have at least been nominated for an Acadamy Award for best actress The Supporting cast was also Great."Up The Sandbox" is another great movie it shows great things that Margret ( Streisand) went through its one of my favorite streisand films.The Main Event was good at some parts but not the greatest streisand film.Whats Up Doc is defenitly a great screwball comody. This movie really had some great and memorable moments. So if you like Barbra or any of these films its a good boxset to buy."
