Saturday Night Live - The Best of Christopher Walken Reviews
Some Good, Some Bad
There is a lot of stuff in this DVD that is truly hilarious. The "Trivial Psychic" skit, of course. The "Hardball" skit where Walken does a brilliant performance of the French Foreign Minister. The "Cowbell" skit. The "Pranksters" skit. Love it, love it, love it.
However, I didn't like the "Colonel Angus" one, nor did I like the "Making of the Continental" extra, where Walken's character referred to the French as "Frogs". Also, there were some sketches that just didn't make sense. I don't really think those sketches belong in a "Best of" collection.
All in all, I gave the DVD three stars because the good is really good and the bad is, IMHO, what the "skip" button on your DVD player is for. If you're a Walken fan, get it. If you're an SNL fan, buy others first.
Not the Best of SNL Walken
Christopher Walken is, in my opinion, one of the best hosts of SNL to grace the show. And this DVD doesn't do his appearances justice. He barely appears in the "Colonel Angus" skit, and the DVD extras aren't really worth looking at. It's also a let down to see so many skits cross over between the 25th anniversary edition & other "best of" discs. A show that's been on so long should put a little more into their realeases.
All let-downs aside, there are hilarious moments in the Walken DVD that are worth watching. The "Captain of the Boat" was a favorite when I first saw it and I'm glad to see it here.
