Plot:
Frank Hart is a pig. He takes advantage in the grossest manner of the women who work with him. When his three assistants manage to trap him in his own house they assume control of his department and productivity leaps, but just how long can they keep Hart tied up?

My Thoughts:
This is another one I watched on On-Demand. I seen this one years ago when it first came out. I thought I remembered it being a good comedy. But this one didn't work too well for me. While there is some entertaining scenes... there was no real laughs in it for me. This is 2 comedies in a row that I found be no more then average. I don't think this is one I would bother added to my collection at all.

Police Academy 3, a review by Dragonfire

The raw, inept, blunderhead civilians who graduated to become raw, inept, blunderhead cops "carry on with a lot of good, low humor" (Vincent Canby, The New York Times) in their third hilarious outing.

A budget crisis has decreed that only one of the state's two cop schools can survive, so the race is on to see which academy can avoid the ax by turning out the superior force. So Mahoney (Steve Guttenberg), Hightower (Bubba Smith), Tackleberry (David Graf), Jones (Michael Winslow), Hooks (Marion Ramsey) and Callahan (Leslie Easterbrook) - led by eternally befuddled Cmdt. Lassard (George Gaynes) - mobilize hilariously in their alma mater's defense. You have the right to remain silent - but you'll end up howling.

My Thoughts

The movie is silly, but I still enjoy it, like the other Police Academy movies.  I'm not sure how much time is supposed to have passed between the 2nd movie and this one.  The characters are still basically the same, which works with what is going on.  Most of the characters are idiots, but that makes the movie rather entertaining.  It is funny, though the type of humor won't appeal to some viewers.  The plot isn't that complicated, but it still manages to entertaining.  People who enjoyed the first movies will probably like this one as well.

 

I do have a review posted on Epinions for this one.

"Big Bang Theory" Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

7. The Dumpling Paradox
Wolowitz gets a girl. Penny beats Sheldon at Halo. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

My Thoughts:
This was a hilarious episode... I enjoyed every second of it. I especially enjoyed the scene in the restaurant where they were trying to figure out how to divide the Chinese food.

8. The Grasshopper Experiment
Rajesh flips over his gorgeous blind date. But she only has eyes for Sheldon. Sheldon?!

My Thoughts:
Another really funny episode. Not only do we get a fun reaction to Rajesh drinking... I also enjoyed the experiment Penny performed at the end of the episode. I find myself laughing more and more at this show.
