Review
       While CasablancaAll about EveAll about Eve can be ranked high on that short list. With the breathtaking new restoration and re-mastering that this film was given for its DVD release, new generations will be able to appreciate the classical collaboration of a flawless screenplay and bravura acting performances.



Review Criterion
- The pinnacle of film perfection and excellence.
- Not quite an immortal film, yet a masterpiece in its own right.
- Historically important film, considered a classic.
- Borderline viewable.
- A gangrenous and festering pustule in the chronicles of celluloid.

Extras:

• Nipplegate: Getting Dressed with Pamela

A 7min. documentary about the clothes they have Pamela Anderson almost wear. Plus they throw in a few minutes talking about clothing the other characters. As well as talk about how Pamela had almost constant hard nipples. Is little more then showing clips from the show.

• Show Us Your Bloopers

A 5min. blooper real... about what you would expect from a show like this. Not much for laughs... but you can tell they had fun on the set.

• Skyler's Guide to Dating

10min. of clips from the show.


My Thoughts:
Going into this series I found it to be no more then you would expect from the series looking at the title, star and reading the overview. Sure it has some laughs. But it is no more then an immature comedy. It has little more then extremely obvious sexual  innuendos and Pamela Anderson showing off her body. So there is no surprise that it was canceled as early as it was. It was canceled after only 14 episodes... but the entire 19 produced episodes is in the DVD release. Despite what I say here... I still did enjoy this show for what it is. You just can't go looking here for some sort of masterpiece.

My Rating:
