Meet the Parents, a review by addicted2dvd

Meet the Parents


My Thoughts:
This is a movie I have always enjoyed. A lot of laughs in it. I think everyone in the movie did good.. I especially enjoyed De Niro in what (in my experience) is a rare comedy role. I also had to get a kick out of the cat on a toilet thing in this movie. I have seen it in other movies where it just didn't work... but I think in this movie then done it well.

Plot:
Celebrate the platinum anniversary* of the unforgettable comedy classic Father Of The Bride plus the uproarious follow-up Father Of The Bride Part II on Blu-ray for the first time ever. Screen legends Steve Martin, Diane Keaton and Martin Short star in these warm and witty family favorites, complete with a new digital restoration!

Things get out of hand for befuddled father George Banks (Martin) when his young daughter unexpectedly announces her plans to wed. Life gets even crazier in the sidesplitting sequel when his daughter and his wife (Keaton) both announce they are pregnant, and George desperately tries to capture the wild and crazy days of his youth.

Relive every heartwarming and hilarious moment in this special 2-movie collection. It's fantastic family entertainment that really delivers!

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Audio Commentary
• Bonus Trailers
• Featurettes

While I don't consider this sequel to be as good as the original, I still enjoyed it quite a bit. It has several good laughs in it. While the father/daughter bond is still there in this one.... not nearly as much as it was in the first. Still well worth the time put in to watch it.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Quantum Leap



What's the show about?
Sam Backett jumps through time and space. But he does not do it with his own body and he cannot control where or when he jumps. But wherever he goes, something went wrong in the original passing of events and Sam has to fix it. His only help is Al, an admiral that lives in the time Sam came from and
presents himself to Sam as a neurological hologram that only Sam can see or hear.

"Genesis"
A man wakes up and does not know who, where or when he is. The only thing he does know is that he's not Captain Tom Stretton, but that's who is supposed to be. And Cpt. Stratton is supposed to fly an experimental mach-3-jet. Sam has lost practically all memories about him and his life and Al isn't allowed to give him his memory back because it would weaken the chances of successfully bringing Sam back. But the original Tom Stratton has died in the attempt of surpassing mach 3 and Sam has to survive this trip in order to return home.

My Opinion
I love this show because it's always fun to see how Sam has to adapt to his new body and environment, especially when he jumps into a non-white/non-male. I also thought that it was a great idea that Sam tries to contact his father again, when he has the chance to.
