5.0 out of 5 stars On DVD as "Shag-o-rama", January 9, 2005

By

This review is from: The Linguini Incident [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'm always the last to know anything, but in case there is anyone else who might be even more "last to know" than I am, here's the scoop.

I just found out by sheer accident a few nights ago that The Linguini Incident WAS released on DVD. However, it was put out under a completely different title: Shag-o-rama. The information I found said that the movie wasn't changed a bit, except for the title credit.

Since it's already out-of-print, for copies of this DVD you'll probably have to watch eBay (I bought one there) or used DVD shops in your local area, if you have any.

And for the record, I found this to be a quirky, off-beat, romantic caper comedy. It's funny and cute, even if it is slightly over the top. (And I really loved Arquette's 1920s outfits!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Bra weapons, magic tricks and one snarky Bowie, October 7, 2003

This review is from: The Linguini Incident [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is my favorite Bowie movie of all time. Not only are the characters downright quirky and fun, but the plot itself is funny in its own right. Who knew a pair of handcuffs could get you into so much trouble?

I just hope that it eventually makes its way onto DVD!

4.0 out of 5 stars Escape the Ordinary --FInd this Sleeping Gem!, March 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Linguini Incident [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It is a pity this film is not available to purchase because it is worth seeing again and again. The plot is original, the dialog is snappy and quirky, the characters are a hoot--this movie will stay with you for a long time--I first saw it several years ago and I still chuckle to think about it--it is very entertaining and a must see for David Bowie fans! The plot: a young woman wants to get a job as an escape artist but she has one small problem: she can't perform in front of an audience. Her best friend is designing defense bras, and her new restaurant co-worker is a chronic liar who has to marry a waitress by Friday to win a bet or suffer severe consequences! Amusing and refreshing. A keeper.
