5.0 out of 5 stars I love this and I've rented it over ten times!, May 25, 1999

This review is from: Book of Love [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The first time you see this movie it's possible you'll lose control of your bowels. I seriously laughed till I stopped. It's definitly a cheesy movie but I found it incredibly humorous. It's cool because it's not a popular movie. I know tons of people who don't like to have a good time and those people won't appreciate the humor. Teenage guys and diapered senior citizens will definitly like this one. It's well worth the money!

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars Funny !, February 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Book of Love [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie really tickles my funny bone and it is definitely on my top ten comedies list (check out the excellent book by William Kotzwinkle... also known as "Jack in the Box"... it is a VERY funny memoir). This movie is definitely worth a rent or buy. It has fantasy moments that are kind of "Scrubs"-like, and it will give the right crowd a serious case of the giggles (and roll around laughs). Sure the movie is predictable, but you won't care. Watch it for the laughs (and universal childhood memories). This movie also features a great true to self performance by John Cameron Mitchell the future writer-director-actor of the awesome cult sensation "Hedwig and the Angry Inch". This movie was the first movie ever directed by Robert Shaye (who is now the Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of New Line Cinema... he helped to bring us the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Nightmare on Elm Street Series, and great hits like Frequency... he has since direct "The Last Mimzy"). An R-rated version is now available on DVD (the movie was originally PG-13).

Bought this movie for my hubby, so he could remember his dorky time trying to date during school. It was a nice movie to see at family movie night with the teenage kids.
