Saturday Night Live: The Best of Chris Farley Reviews
Makes me tear up every time I watch it [4.5 stars]
Chris Farley was, in my estimation, one of the best sketch comedians ever. Saturday Night Live greatly improved when he became a cast member. His work was brilliant. Sometimes his size and willingness to do pratfalls were overused, but he was perhaps the best there has ever been at using those gimmicks for laughs.
The video is funny and moving. It constantly reminds you of the tragedy and untimeliness of his death. But, it's harder to find more laughs than you'll get from the DVD.
Too much of Chris's best SNL work -- I mean a whole bunch -- was left out, which explains my 4.5 star rating. That some sketches made the video (e.g. Cher haircare products infomercial) is downright baffling. The producers could have hit a grand slam home run with this set. Instead, they played it safe and boring and went for the triple.
Even so, this is a must for any comedy fan's collection. My 6 year old loves Lunch Lady Land and sings it around the house. Except for some language, it's good for all ages.
Great dvd!
I bought this for my husband for Father's Day because he's always been a fan of Chris Farley's. He loved this dvd. Its all the funny parts of the show that we enjoyed watching when we he was alive. Love this dvd!
