Crap on a disc. Need I say more?, February 1, 2006
Britney Spears used to be an attractive young woman, but she obviously let fame go to her head. She tranformed her image from a "clean an pure southern girl" or if you will, "pop" princess, to being "trailer park" princess(anyone following the chronicles of her life will have noticed the obvious signs:smoking, weight gain, zits, no taste in clothes whatsoever, etc). Since doing so, every record that she has released under her new "image", has declined in sales(it's like following the life of Courtney Love).
And then she meets Kevin, and(suprise, surprise)she falls in love with a dead beat who loves nothing more than riding on the coat-tails of her success to further his failing career as an "artist", which is rather apparent with this dvd release.
Maybe Briney will clean herself up now that she's a mother. For the child, let's hope so.

Horrible, February 16, 2007
I caught this show on Vh1, and this show was absolutely atrocious. I never really thought much of Britney Spears, in fact I happen to enjoy some of Britney's past hits, but this show made me see what a trashy, narcissistic,air-headed person she truly is. Asking everyone about their favorite sexual positions, and telling everyone else how many times she's done it with K-fed *rolls eyes*. Yes, then there is K-fed, the man barely talks through out the show, he mostly just occasionally smiles like a moronic fool, while Britney zooms up close to him with her video camera,which for some reason she can't happen to hold straight asking him what he thinks of Eminem, and him responding "I think he's a genius". (Wrong!), and other prize-winning quotes like "love is love" Wow! now thats deep! Not. This show was a complete disaster. Do not buy this, it would be like throwing your money to the garbage.

The Best Part : This is 3 Hours Long, January 13, 2008
Well, you would think a DVD of this sort defeats the purpose of bashing it. Truth be told, yes, it IS awful and trashy, but its also very, very interesting.
There are six episodes here, each about twenty minutes long. It chronicles how Britney met Kevin and the entire Onyx Hotel European Tour. Personally I think that was Britney's worst tour and the footage doesn't do her any favors - she had already gained some weight here, and this was before she had any kids. Whats worse, is watching Britney and Kevin laze around in tank tops and spout such intelligence such as : "I'm scared to love you, because you're scared to love me... and that makes me scared to love you". More such riches follow, with Kevin making a video tape all his own for Britney where he breaks down and whimpers : "Britney, if you watch this, I want you to know I care. I really care".
If that sort of thing is your bag, then by all means get this. I found it tacky, weird, but very, very illuminating. The reason why Britney Spears is such a trainwreck is revealed here, and the answer is that she surrounds herself with retards/psychos/users who are extremely unintelligent and ill-spoken. Her 'personal assistant' Felicia is an unattractive and clueless woman who spends hours speaking of her 'loneliness' and her 'favorite sexual position'. As if this wasn't bad enough, we have the token gay hairdresser giving us his enlightened views on commitment and marriage (?). I kid you not. Then we have Britney and Kevin following each other with cameras trying to get romantic reactions from each other. There is a bizarre green-light shot of the two sharing their first kiss, and it is even more unsightly than the Paris Hilton tape.
The series ends with the extremely classless wedding. Kevin lounges about in his overalls while Britney wears her wedding dress. Her parents haven't been told about the wedding and you can see their displeasure when they are brought to the venue and the news is broken to them. We are introduced to Kevin's friends - a useless duo of everything that is wrong with Eminem times twelve. Then Britney's younger sister comes in and starts crying, and the two take their vows.
The bonus features, if we must, is a 'Making Of' for Britney's flop single "Someday I Will Understand" (a really bad song, by the way). The video is included too, as well as the video for "Do Something". Jive Records also decided to add on a CD here featuring the Series Theme Song "Chaotic" (not as bad as you'd think), and the sickly "Mona Lisa". I can see why they had the good sense not to include this on a regular Britney release.
I actually bought this DVD, because there have been times Britney has entertained me, and I thought her new album "Blackout" was spectacular due to just one standout track ("Heaven on Earth"). However, watching this made me lose whatever remaining respect I had for her. This was perhaps the first time I had seen her without makeup and she was so plain and unattractive that I was left wondering what the big deal was anyway. Not to mention the extra weight, the potty mouth, and her constant smoking on camera (there is nothing more ugly).
Britney doesn't need to give you more reasons to dislike her, but all bias apart, this DVD is a fascinating slice of her life, as its completely shot by her and Kevin, and it reveals to you why she is now the jaded, mentally unstable person she is. If that sort of thing would be interesting to you, this is worth a rental.
If you're thinking of getting this just for the bonus CD, my advice would be to skip it. There is nothing there that would merit a purchase.
