Drake & Josh: Drake & Josh Go Hollywood - Movie (2006) Review

Drake and Josh: Drake and Josh Go Hollywood - Movie  (2006)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you have children or run across Nickelodeon (older folks like me might recognize it as "Nick At Nite"), you're probably aware of "Drake and Josh." The show gives the audience a comedic glimpse into the lives of two stepbrothers (Drake Bell and Josh Peck) and how they deal with the growing pains of teenage life and a little sister, the wickedly funny Megan (Miranda Cosgrove). In "Drake and Josh Go Hollywood," which is essentially an expanded version of one of the show's episodes, Drake and Josh merely have to put their sister on a plane to Denver and then they'll have the house to theirselves for a few days while their parents are away. Of course, if you have watched the show, you know that they're bound to screw up something. In typical Drake and Josh fashion, they screw up royally. They manage to put their sister on a plane to Los Angeles, get tied up into a money-printing scam and have to resolve both of those problems in time to get Drake on the set of TRL to do a live performance. Sounds completely unbelievable, right? It's just another day in the life of these guys.
This movie has played on Nick on a number of occasions, and it doesn't stray at all from the "Drake and Josh" formula. It has plenty of slapstick comedy executed perfectly by the two heroes of the tale (Megan refers to them lovingly as "boobs.") Bell and Peck are truly funny young individuals. Cosgrove is funny as well as the always confident, always lethal Megan. The great thing about this show is that it plays out well for younger audiences but is actually pretty funny for folks over the age of eighteen. In fact, I personally know a few people who are well over the legal drinking limit that love to watch the series.
Parents don't have to worry about Drake, Josh, or anybody else going too far into adult (or even late teen) territory with their humor or language. My daughter, aged six, loves to watch this movie and I like watching it with her. I have no problem leaving the room while this movie is playing.
Overall, this is a good purchase for families who enjoy watching movies together. Bell and Peck are a likeable duo and I expect to see both of them going far in their future careers.

Josh's first assignment in his creative writing program is to write about his greatest adventure. Well, there's the time he an his brother accidentally put their tween sister, Megan, on a plane to Los Angeles, managed to book Drake a gig to perform on MTV's very own TRL, and got involved with one of the FBI's top-ten criminals. How's that for a story?

21 Jump Street - The Complete First Season (1987) Review

I was very excited that they released 21 Jump Street on DVD. It was a launching point for many careers and provided entertaining moral lessons. So I go to play the first show and within the first 15-20 minutes I notice something. They redid the music. Maybe it was just a couple of songs. Nope, it was pretty much all of them. And it was done in such a way that it was obnoxious and often detracted from the stories. I had a VERY hard time watching the remainder of the season because the the remastering was done so poorly.
21 Jump Street was that really cool hip show that had some of the latest music of the time. And whether it was record companies wanting to charge for using their music or someone deciding that the music needed to be less "dated" ... whatever the reason, they made a bad choice.
I highly recommend that people rent this DVD before they buy it to make sure they are okay with it. I am not and will not purchase any more seasons until they put the original music/soundtracks back in.
Later Gators!

24 - TV Starter Set (Season 1, Episodes 1-2) (2001) Review

24 - TV Starter Set (Season 1, Episodes 1-2) (2001)

In a recent effort to get casual fans interested in their TV products on DVD, Fox has released two episode starter sets of several of their shows. Reasonably priced, they tempt the viewer to buy the first season and even provide a coupon for the purchase price of the sampler off the price of the complete first season if offered. The casual fan has little to loose.
Here, Fox is offering the first two episodes of season 1 of 24, the most addicting thrill ride on TV today. Just as the Bauer family is about to call it a night, Jack gets a phone call that sends him into work. CTU has a credible threat on Presidential candidate Senator David Palmer. Meanwhile, daughter Kim sneaks out for a night with friends and Teri goes off after her. And Senator Palmer is facing a potential blackmail crisis of his own.
This show did take a few episodes of fully suck me in, but the trouble with this set is it most likely will. If you are a marginal fan of the show, having two episodes just isn't going to cut it. You'll need to have the complete first season to have all of what happens next. And, of course, you'll enjoy every minute of it.
This is brilliant marketing on Fox's part. You'll be buying the complete set before you can say cliffhanger. That coupon is going to come in very handy.

What I Like About You: The Complete First Season (2002) Review

What I Like About You: The Complete First Season (2002)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
"What I Like About You" is a cute WB sitcom about two sisters living together in New York. Jennie Garth of "90210" plays the older sister Val, who is a bit of a neurotic and the parental figure in her teenage sister, Holly's life. The two other regulars in the first season are Val's goofy boyfriend, Jeff, who runs a restaurant and Holly's best friend, Gary. The storylines revolve around Val's love life and her job at an advertisement agency and Holly's tendency to get into trouble due to her spontaneous nature. In subsequent seasons, new characters are added to the show and the humor gets a little nuttier. Season 2, 3 and 4 are very different from this first season, but in a good way. The show only gets better and better. It may not have been a breakthrough sitcom or particularly original, but I always found "What I Like About You" to be a fun, enjoyable show and definitely one of the best sitcoms ever on The WB. It kept me coming back for all four seasons with the sisters' romantic relationships, the lighthearted fun and the occasional cliffhangers.
