"Big Fat Liar", "Johnny English", "Thunderbirds", and "Rocky and Bullwinkle" make a nice family pack of entertainment.

Big Fat Liar is about a fourteen year old that gets into trouble for lying quite often. When he decides to clean up his act he writes an English paper about a big fat liar to pass his class. When a movie producer steals it, he follows him to Los Angeles to get it back. A fairly funny movie with Malcom in the Middle star, Frankie Muniz. Individual price $8.49. Three star movie.

Johnny English has the always amusing Rowan Atkinson as a spy for Britain. More of a bumbling basket case like "Get Smarts" Don Adams, the movie has quite a few laughs. Individual price $9.99. Three star movie.

Thunderbirds is based on the puppet series and does a nice transition to live action. Good cast and decent effects make this action movie well worth catching. Individual price $17.99. Three star movie.

Rocky and Bullwinkle is based on the cartoon series and once again becomes a good live action movie. If you enjoy the cartoons and like the "Adams Family" movie you will probably enjoy this one. Individual price $9.99. Two star movie.

This pack is very reasonably priced at $4.25 approximately each, and it has movies the whole family will enjoy. The movies are rated for most ages and are not derogatory. I recommend this set of good quality DVDs with good replayability. - C. Luster

I purchased this set at Big Lots for $6.00, but wish now that I had bought it here.
Big Fat Liar features two of the most fun actors in Hollywood (Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes), who were both likely young teenagers in this movie. Having the two popular young actors makes for one really fun movie. Thunderbirds seems a bit lame at first, but starts to grow on you. The scenes are bright and colorful, and make for an enjoyable, adventurous family film. Vanessa Hudgens is cute and interesting.
Johnny English can be either funny or tastelessly bad, depending on your personal taste in comedy (it's definitely not a film for the kids). I thought it was crap.
Rocky and Bullwinkle is interesting to a point, though it is not a really great movie. It has a tendency to drag at times. But for what you will pay on Amazon at its lowest price, the set is worth some good weekend fun. Get some friends to9gether, have a party and enjoy yourself!

I love all of these movies, and having a set of dvds with four movies is a good idea, but they really should've had the movie been related in some way. Like four movies in a series or movie with the same actor or actors. That aside, this set is great. And it IS the only way to get Big Fat Liar in it's proper widescreen picture. True, you don't get all the same extras as on the single disc releases, but these aren't really the kind of movies that cry out for extensive documentaries or commentaries.
