Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Three of the shorts on this video are absolute gems. "Body Care and Grooming," with its preachy, condescending 50s rules that anyone with half a brain should already know, makes us roar with laughter, especially how the heroine is alternately shamed like a cheap tramp and upheld as a pure white goddess of cleanliness . . . with robotic comments such as, "Grooming is between you and the Lord God." "A Date with Your Family" (also known as "The Woody Allen Story") is hysterical, the best part being when the family displays the behaviors that are to be avoided at the dinner table (Sister asks herself, "I wonder if I should have washed my hands after handling that dead woodchuck?") The "Cheating" short is also a laugh riot, as the high school boy, who appears to live all alone in a perpetually dark house ("It might help if Johnny had some parents!"), is sucked into a Kafka-esque web of cheating that eventually draws his poor friend Mary in, too (the robots urge, "Sweet Mary, nooooooo!") The other four shorts are funny, too, and definitely better than most any comedy you'll see on t.v. I highly recommend this and any other shorts tapes that may come out in the future.
