Member Movie Reviews K. K. (GAMER) Reviewed on 1/12/2025... Good show and some nice highlights of Ferrell's funniest moments!
Movie ReviewsCould have been much better J. Evans | Fort Wright, KY United States | 08/15/2003 (3 out of 5 stars) "This DVD is great, but could've been much better. At only 75 minutes, SNL/NBC are giving a [weak] product. Of course Will Ferrell doesn't disappoint at all on this though. Skits include:-Behind the Music: Blue Oyster Cult ("more cowbell") -Spartan Cheerleaders @ a chess match -"Dissing Your Dog" commercial -Harry Carey show -the annoying lovers (with Rachel Dratch) -the pretentious NYC store clerks (with Jimmy Falon & Sean Hayes) -the bum as the nude art school model (can't remember his name) -fishing with Bush Jr & Sr -Jeopardy with "Burt Reynolds" "French Stewart" and "Sean Connery" -Robert Goulet does gangsta rap -Bobby & Marty Culp at the Drug Awareness seminar -Inside the Actors Studio w/Charles Nelson Riley -Roxbury guys with Jim Carreythe extras are pretty cool..especially the deleted skit with the "old prospector." I think that's the funniest thing on the whole DVD. It also has Will's "tryout" with SNL, and 2 Conan O'Brien appearances.But what is missing is the Neil Diamond Storytellers. I can't believe they left that off. SNL/NBC really could have given everyone a quality product but they just phoned it in." Not sure about 'Best Of', but still funny J. Evans | 08/27/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "Like most Saturday Night Live 'Best Of' compilations, it would be more accurate to call this a random sampling of Will Ferrell skits than his greatest ones. How else do you explain the fact that there are throw away skits like the dysfunctional family, yet only brief clips of him doing George Bush and Janet Reno, among others. Also there are a few skits on this that are also on the Best of SNL 96-97 tape. With that said, this DVD does have enough funny skits and redeeming value to make it worth checking out. You can't go wrong with him playing a flustered Alex Trebeck in 'Celebrity Jeopardy;' his Marty Culp the singing/preaching principal is also always good for a laugh. Both longtime fans and those who don't know Ferrell's work as well will appreciate the range, audacity, and irreverence of the characters he played. There are also some good extra features, including two very funny apperances on Conan O'Brien. Again this is not perfect, but still is well worth a look." Ferrell deserves two DVDs Eugene Wei | Santa Monica, CA USA | 08/14/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "This was a DVD that had to be made, and everyone knows it. Sketches include:
--Anti-drug school assembly musical number --Blue Oyster Cult ("I need more cowbell!" shouts Christopher Walken) --Robert Goulet infomercial for his CD --Craig the cheerleader working a chess match --Ferrell as: George Bush, Janet Reno (boxing Rudy Giuliani), Saddam Hussein (on 3 way phone call with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky) --As James Lipton of Inside the Actor's Studio interviewing Alec Baldwin--His Harry Caray impression --As Alex Trebek on Jeopardy, with contestants including Sean Connery and Burt Reynolds --As professor Roger and his hot-to-trot wife Virginia in the hot tub, harrassing poor business traveler Doug (Jimmy Fallon) --As one of the Roxbury brothers with Jim Carrey and Chris Kattan --Substitute art class nude model Terrence Maddox --Infomercial for Dissing Your Dog --Weekend update special guest Jacob Silj --Father of a dysfunctional family with Sarah Michelle Gellar as his rebellious teenage daughterExtra features include his SNL audition routine (he does his Harry Caray, a Ted Kennedy, and some original characters), two Conan O'Brien guest appearances, some outtakes, and one hilarious dress sketch which never made the final show in which he played Old Prospector Gus Chiggins, assigned to accompany an army unit into Afghanistan.You know this stuff is good--in half the sketches, the other actors are sobbing they're trying so hard not to laugh. Especially Jimmy Fallon, who finds Ferrell so funny he snorts out half his lines. And through it all, Ferrell stays in character, fully committed. As James Lipton would say, "What courage! What humanity! We are in the presence...of greatness!"But any Ferrell fan will instantly rattle off several classic Ferrell sketches which are missing: Doug, the face of erectile dysfunction; the bad doctor; the commercial for the hamburger helper mix with antibacterial agents for weeks old ground beef, etc. NBC really needs to honor Will's body of work by issuing a second volume, or a box set, even. Such work must not be relegated to the whims of Comedy Central reruns." |
