I want to view this hilarious video again, but few of us have the old equipment. Please, who ever has the authority, release in DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars A funny movie, December 23, 1999

France Day (Fort Collins, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Pope Must Diet [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is not for the average american it is british dry humor. Being a huge monty python and faulty towers fan I found this movie a riot. Others find this movie dull I think they just didn't get the hummor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Video To DVD Please Now Thank You, September 21, 2004

O. Garland (Santa Barbara California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Pope Must Diet [VHS] (VHS Tape)

THIS MOVIE IS GREAT, JUST WONDERFUL, I JUST WISH THOSE BOZOS IN CHARGE WOULD TRANSFER IT TO DVD AND STOP KEEPING FILM HISTORY IN THE VIDEO SECTION OR THE 8 TRACK SECTION.

GUITAR DIETY JEFF BECK PLAYS THE GUITAR FOR THE PICKIN PADRE AND EVEN HAS A CAMIO AS A LETTER CARRYIER ON A BYCICLE DELIVERING A LETTER TO PALO FROM THE NEW POPE.

VERY FUNNY, ONLY BAD PART IS THE CHEEP WIG HIS SON IN THE MOVIE WEARS.

VIDEO TO DVD, VIDEO TO DVD, VIDEO TO DVD NOW NOW SIS BOOM BAH!

1.0 out of 5 stars An utterly unfunny comedy
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Robbie Coltrane must have been desperate at this stage of his career.
