Summary: Short and Boring
Review: I enjoy watching the Real World on MTV, so I was looking forward to viewing this DVD.

Some of the segments were boring.

I was disappointed because the DVD is too short. MTV records the cast 24/7 so you'd think there would be more footage to share on this DVD. Not so.

Summary: The Real World You Never Saw - Chicago
Review: I had started watching the movie with minimal expectations. The movie featured some funny segments such as Aneesa's special "friend" and Tonya's extensive vocabulary. I didn't think the movie was that funny though. I was hoping for a lot more. Compared to previous "You Never Saw"s, this one wasn't that great. If you have watched the season and have a few extra bucks, get the movie. It isn't a must though.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: You Can Live Without Seeing It
Review: I loved the Real World Chicago. So, I was really psyched to be able to see some of the behind the scenes material. I was even more disappointed once I saw it.

What they have thrown together is only mildly entertaining. A story about a bird getting loose in the house, nicknames the cast came up with, and how they "uncover" the Real World filming vault in the basement. Yawn.

This was a really strong cast with some really different personalities and I was hoping they would have shown some of the ways those personalities clashed. A DVD should have opened up opportunities to show stuff you couldn't show on TV - they completely missed the boat on that. All of this material (with VERY few exceptions) could have been shown on TV, as is.

If you are truly a die-hard Real World Chicago fan, look for this DVD secondhand. Anyone else is better off taking a pass on it. A real wasted effort.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Weak Effort for a Good Season
Review: i wasn't expecting much when i purchased this dvd (after all, the main feature only runs a scant 44 minutes) and after viewing it my expectations were not wrong. Some of the material edited here are just plain boring (The Lobster Game, The bird that flew into the Loft...WHO CARES) to the briefly covered (escapades in the group showers segments lasts a mere 1 minute!). Compared with past RWYNS discs, this is a weak effort and replay value is minimal. Again, the topics covered are not as compelling or funny as previous editions. It's such a shame coming from a good cast. I've always considered it strange that these RWYNS discs are released singular from a complete season set for the respective season when the RWYNS Dvds should be and are the bonus features found on similar tv show boxed sets. Even though with its shortcomings, the disc has some easter eggs that are pretty funny albeit short, at 14 seconds a piece ( i see a trend here).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Same formula
Review: If you have seen any other Real World You Never Saw DVDs, then you will know what to expect with this DVD. The formula is the same. For those that don't, it's pretty much a collection of outakes that show the cast acting silly. There is no drama here.
I give this DVD an average rating because MTV never puts much effort in the DVDs. The short runtime is weak enough, but the special features are always lacking. I was hoping this time they could at least throw in the City High promo songs for this season, but instead we get the same old house tour and cast bio/audition tapes.
Like I said, it's average at best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the TRUE story
Review: If you liked the Real World season, you will really enjoy this tape. You get to see the funny side of the cast that isn't shown on TV. This is when they are most real. It is very much like the other tapes but this season is the best.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Only for die hard fans
Review: If you set your VCR every tuesday, and visit all of the fan websites, then this DVD is for you. It shows you produciton info as well as funny cast moments.
Do not buy this DVD if you have seen the show a lot, but are not totally obsessed, because you will be dissapointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Video for RW fans
Review: If your a fan of The Real World:Chicago then you should get this video. With Never before seen footage from the show, this is a great buy.
