The DVD for this classic film is strictly bare bones. The story of a con man who serves out his sentence in a mental institution was novelist Ken Kesey's wake up call to the world of psychiatric medicine, and the film delivered its message with wit, drama, and complex human emotion. The DVD, however, merely offers language options in English or French, and subtitle options in English, French or Spanish. At least the two-sided DVD gives the viewer the choice of letterbox or widescreen. The package includes a smattering of production note cards, but they relay no more information than the back of a video tape box. The transfer is poorly done, clearly from a used film print, and while the English audio is Dolby (not 5:1), the French track is mono only.

A well written story about clever bank robbers who risk getting caught over a romance. Ben Affeck shows his acting and directorial skills in this one and does quite well for himself !

What's great about it: it's refreshing
What's not so great: you are rooting for the bad guys

Jerry's very funny version of Dr. Jeckell and Mr. Hyde brought to cinemascope and technicolor. With a stunning Stella Stevens as his girlfriend and a split personality Jerry as the Nutty Professor. One of Jerry Lewis's finest moments. This is why the French call him a genius ! ! !

What's great about it: It brought me back to when I was a kid.
What's not so great: is that those days are long gone.

You start out thinking this is not "them", but gradually you start to accept them as the real stooges. It is a three chapter story, just like the old shorts. So it's like three short stories that add up to one whole funny movie. It is the supposed real tale of their formation. It has a touching ending, and if you are a fan, I guarantee, you'll love it ! ! !

What's great about it: they do remind you of the original
What's not so great: that it didn't get the critical aclaim, so they could make a sequel.
