4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely British Comedy, July 16, 2010

This review is from: A Bunch of Amateurs [Region 2] (DVD)

This is something that the Brits do well - comedy. 'A Bunch of Amateurs' joins a long list of classic comedies (In the Bleak Mid Winter, Mrs Henderson Presents, et al) that will be around forever. As an amateur performer for more than 40 years I saw myself many times as I watched characterisics that I could easily identify with or recognise from performers in my past. The film possbilbly won't be as funny for non thespians but certainly shows an aspect of theatre that is very true to life. Burt Reynolds was a curious piece of casting but I warmed to him as the story evolved. A load of fun!

This review is from: NEW Bunch Of Amateurs - Bunch Of Amateurs (Blu-ray) (Blu-ray)

This movie is the wrong format for the U.S. I am very disappointed that the website did not make it clear that this DVD will not play in a regular or blue ray DVD player. Waste of my money and worse I can't see this really funny movie.
