Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely hilarious
Review: This SPINAL TAP-like mockumentary is absolutely hilarious and the commentary track by director Townsend is equally entertaining. JENNIFER LEWIS is amazing. She's a brilliant comedic actress who is shamefully underused in movies and this is a perfect vehicle for her. It does for her what JACKIE BROWN did for Pam Grier. The supporting cameos are laugh-out-loud funny, best being Whoopi Goldberg, Tim Curry, Loretta Devine, Isabel Sandford, Kathy Griffith, Rikki Lake, Sean Hayes, Bette Midler, Liza Minnelli, Eva Marie Saint, Dolly Parton, Grace Slick and Diahann Carroll.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very funny ...
Review: We saw this on TV and it is funny. The first half is a laugh-out-loud slew of one liners. Then the sappier stuff kicks in and it's energy fades. My partner loves this DVD, though. Now I understand how parents feel when they have kids, a dvd player, and Disney films.
