Meh. Just meh., December 7, 2003
You can find most of these DVDs in one fell swoop on e-bay already if you use the search term "DVD lot" and you will end up paying about half the total cost. These are all Warner Bros snapcase DVDs, by the way. Yep, they come in those cases that drive everyone insane because they are cheap beyond a reasonable doubt. It wouldn't surprise me if half these titles are updated by Warner with new 2-disc special editions (in awesome packaging) in the next 2 years or so. Shop around, folks. These are the same movies you see countless times at your local pawn shop for half the cost here. There's nothing special here to be had, and chances are, you'll be paying for at least one title you don't want.

Extremely Expensive., September 18, 2003
Most dvds now you can buy real cheap. Comedy dvds I can buy at hollywood video for about 10 bucks. The dvd says you save alot, but there is a problem, you probably have half these movies. Austin Powers, everyone has it.Seriously though, lets break it down. I have seen basically all these movies. I own most of them. The only person who would spend 300 bucks on this pack is a true comedy fan. If you are a true comedy fan, then you probably have over half these movies. Noone decides one day, "I think I am going to guy buy 30 comedy dvd's for 300 dollars even though I dislike comedies." On the other hand, "I think I am going to buy 30 comedy dvds, I own most of them, but hey, 2 dvds are better then one." Wrong, the pack proves to be rather useless for anyone. The dvd's are somewhat funny. Most of them have lost their funniness though, so I woulnd't reccomend this to anyone.

There are a couple of classics in there like "Being There" and "Blazing Saddles", but primarily these are just above average crowd-pleasing comedies that just about anybody will enjoy and find funny. The problem is that the newest movie in the bunch is now five years old, with most of them averaging around eleven years of age. Thus even at this greatly reduced price, this collection is still no bargain versus finding them in the sale bin, and all of them are pretty easy to find in that way. I'm giving the collection itself four stars, and the value of the collection two stars - thus my rating of three stars.
