I'm so glad to have finally found Dill Scallion on DVD! It's one of the funniest movies ever. A great addition to my "Mockumentaries."

On a whim, I decided to search for this movie. I am so so glad that not only is it available to own, it's also available in many options. DVD or VOD (rent or own). I haven't seen this movie in a while, but it is a great comedy. I'd call it a black comedy because it's got that edge to it. Great movie, even after repeat viewings. This is one that I will be very glad to add to my collection.

Thanks!!!

I had not heard of Billy Burke before Twilight...I will admit.

I was interesed in all the actors and actresses who were in that
movie...So, researched some of their work old and in process.

I also read that Ms Hardwicke had seen Dill Scallion and that is
why she chose him for Twilight...

So, on a whim, I bought it...it wasn't easy to find to tell the
truth...

I was not in the least disappointed...What a wonderful little movie
and to see Mr Burke in a whole other genre of movie besides being "Bellas
Dad in Twilight was great.


I highly reccomend it. If you are not a "country music" fan, don't
worry, you'll enjoy the "poking fun" at country stars...that's just
pure humor not rude or mean.

If you are a "country music" fan (as I have been my whole life)
you'll still enjoy the gentle pokes at the country music establishment.

Mr Burke has a fine voice, and would love to see him actually make a
CD one day...

i looked for this movie on DVD for years. i'm thrilled to finally own it~and have watched it a dozen times already :)

Ifyou liked Spinal Tap, this is the country/western version. This movie is hillarious. The songs, the dance, Dill, and Minnie Pearl's nephew Bubba Pearl, they're all worth watching.

Dill Scallion is one of the most hilarious movies ever made. I wore out 2 VHS tapes before they finally released the DVD. And like other reviewers, I'm really surprised that it didn't earn a bigger release hullabaloo. Particularly with the rise of 'claw-n-scratch-my-way-up-off-the-D-List' Ms. Kathy Griffin on board. The Mockumentary genre has (at least in my opinion) grown up to be a bit too contrived and polished. While still funny, it feels like everyone's figured out the recipe. Dill Scallion brings us back to all the deliciously awkward/painful stuff that made Spinal Tap and Waiting for Guffman so wonderful. I'd love for it to get the attention it deserves, but I also like being the one to introduce Dill to unsuspecting friends. Yee-haw, loyal Scallionaires!

I am so happy to see this movie on DVD. One of the best movies ever! I have shown it to at least a dozen people and they all love it, too. Every country music lover (or hater) should own a copy. Well worth the money.

Just how does one wind up wearing a belt buckle big as a dinner plate (hint: it's a gradual build-up).
And maybe winning back with your music the gal who broke your heart - maybe that ain't really such a good thing.
And that dance, that gd dance they all love, well that just ain't natural.

A mockumentary a la Spinal Tap, with a country flavor and twang that just hurts so good - one of my top ten favorite, laugh-til-you-hurt movies.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I'm shocked that more people don't know about it, and even more shocked that it never received a proper DVD release. This movie is hilarious -- definitely a "Spinal Tap" for country music....but it's not a rip-off of Spinal Tap. Even if you aren't a fan of Country music, you should see this movie...it's funny and has a cast of some great actors/actresses. I hope that this film someday sees the light of day (i.e. major distribution). It was originally only available as a rental (or as a purchase on VHS) from Blockbuster. But it's so much better than that. In Summary: A great parody that I can watch again and again.
