Mike Myers's first feature role without his Wayne's World wig is a performance at odds with the best interests of the movie. Myers plays a single guy who always manages to find something seriously wrong with each of his girlfriends. His new love (Nancy Travis), a butcher, may be the perfect woman, except for one thing: she might be a "black-widow" killer who prefers dispatching husbands with a sharp instrument. Robbie Fox's original script has a fine shape and strong, black-comedy material within it. But Myers creates unnecessary dissonance by playing a variety of characters (including an irascible Scotsman like the one he often played on Saturday Night Live) and accenting his skills as an improvisational comic (such as impersonating the soothing cadences of a massage therapist). It's not that Myers isn't funny doing all that, but it has nothing to do with the movie. Directed by Thomas Schlamme (Miss Firecracker). --Tom Keogh
Customer Reviews:
The critics should be ashamed of themselves!.......2007-09-03
Unlike most people I actually pay attention to critics as I have burned by the hype way too often. Like most great cult films though they really missed on this one. The one liners are top 100 classic and the great supporting cast get the film through potentially slow points. Nancy travis is especially brilliant in a role that is designed to be ambigious. Bottom line, get the DVD, watch, repeat.
What can I say? Mike Myers...........2007-08-27
I saw this movie on tv recently and had to have it on DVD. Mike Myers is hilarious...and the beautiful Nancy Travis sweetens the deal. My friends and I occasionally repeat some of the funny lines from this movie, so...it's a must-have for my collection. Downside: no special features....like a gag-reel, etc.. C'mon....this is Mike Myers we're talking about....there have got to be some outtakes (which should have been included). I believe this movie was out on VHS first, so...maybe they weren't doing outtakes back then(???). Funny movie.
GREAT MOVIE.......2007-08-24
THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES. ITS FUNNY AND YET HAS SERIOUS ASPECTS AT THE SAME TIME. A MUST SEE
I love this movie.......2007-05-19
As with most good movies, the main characters might be the worm, but the backups are what reel you in. This movie is so very watchable, and Mike Meyers is actually funny (!!) in it, but for me, it's all about Anthony La Paglia and Alan Arkin. Sure, it's maybe three scenes in the entire movie, but they really steal the show.
This is a seriously underrated movie. Watch it. You won't regret it.
A slice of life.......2007-05-06
Charlie Mackenzie (Mike Myers) self made poet, has successfully avoided tying the knot with several women by finding out their flaws in the "nick" of time. Looks like his luck may be running out.
He falls in love with the local butcher, Harriet Michaels (Nancy Travis), who may be more of a cut-up than she appears. Will Charlie Axe-cept her at face value or will his suspicious nature once again interfere with marital bliss?
If he takes the plunge will his friend (Anthony LaPaglia) find out that Charlie is not paranoid and come to his rescue (in time)?

Perhaps if The Bishop's Wife had lapsed on its copyright and fallen into the public domain like It's a Wonderful Life, it would be as much a Christmas staple as that classic. It certainly deserves to be. Dudley (Cary Grant) is an angel sent down by the prayers of a new bishop (David Niven). The bishop is trying to build a new cathedral, and he's so entrenched in his fundraising that he's watching his own marriage crumble around him. Loretta Young is devoted, moist-eyed, and basically a great date for the tempted Dudley. They drink in the afternoon, go skating at night, and make impulse buys. The skating sequence beats mightily on one's suspension of disbelief, but the rest of the film is an absolute joy. Grant is suave, worldly, and enchanting. A wonderful present for anyone who has not seen it. --Keith Simanton
Description
Heavenly bells are ringing, jubilant choirs are singing and Christmas joy is blanketing the world like freshly fallen snow. But the Yuletide spirit has yet to warm Bishop Henry Brougham's Victorian home. Struggling to raise funds for a new cathedral, the preoccupied young clergyman has neglected his loving wife Julia, and now only divine intervention can save their marriage! But the powerful and handsome angel sent from above has a mind of his own and teaching mortal Henry an immortal lesson inromance isn't all he's got planned! Starring Oscar(r) winners* Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven, and featuring "a stellar supporting cast" (The Hollywood Reporter) that includes James Gleason and Monty Woolley, this delightful romantic comedy is wondrous, witty andtruly divine! *Grant, Honorary Oscar (1969); Young, Actress, The Farmer's Daughter (1947); Niven, Actor, Separate Tables (1958)
Customer Reviews:
The Bishop's Wife.......2007-06-25
Nominated for Best Film at the 1947 Oscars, Henry Koster's sweet, thoroughly charming "Bishop's Wife" was a big crowd-pleaser in its day, and has since become one of our more cherished holiday films. Cary Grant was never smoother playing Dudley, the most debonair of angels. Co-starring David Niven and a dazzling Loretta Young as the title character, this joyful, witty film still has something to say about keeping the spirit of Christmas alive all year round.
Touched by an Angel - A Heart Warming Story .......2007-06-05
If you are looking for a movie to watch on Christmas day with your family, you must include this heart warming story about an angel who intervene the busy lives of an Episcopalian bishop named Henry Brougham (David Niven) and his wife Julia (Loretta Young). This movie is set in Yuletide spirit with bells ringing, choir singing, Christmas wreaths decorating the walls of churches, homes, shops and buildings, and streets and neighborhoods covered with fresh snow. During this time, an angel named Dudley (Cary Grant) enters the lives of the bishop and his wife as an office assistant. At the Victorian home of Bishop Henry not everything is going well. Years of neglect about his own family left Julia on her own while the bishop is busy raising funds for a new cathedral. Dudley's attentiveness, charm, and sheer magical powers drive Julia to him, but Dudley is only interested in helping Henry to get back with Julia. The writers have cleverly crafted many moments between Dudley and Julia that would be purely romantic, but writers did not forget to remind us that Dudley is an angel and he is not romancing Julia. Several instances of walking down the street, driving in the country and having lunch at local cafeteria makes her feel that she is appreciated as a woman. The magical ice-skating scene where Dudley charms everyone with his skating ability, and helps Julia to glide on ice is a memorable scene of the movie.
Dudley's "angelic" effect is felt by many: He touches the lives of people he comes in contact with. As the friendship between Julia and Dudley becomes strong, Henry begins to feel that Dudley is a devil trying to steal his wife, but soon all ends well when Dudley completes his job by helping Henry to raise money for the cathedral. Cary Grant is spectacular and charms not only Julia but many viewers. I was most impressed by the performance of Julia who is attracted to Dudley; she is tender, romantic, and vulnerable, yet she also knows that she is a wife and a mother.
Did you see an Angel?.......2007-03-19
When movies didn't have to be edited. This is a classic Christmas movie, good family movie. I don't want to give it away. You'll just have to see it.
An under appreciated classic.......2007-02-05
This is without doubt one of the finest Christmas flicks ever made. Cary Grant just does Cary Grant sooooo Well. I highly recommend this movie once you have watched Grinch and Elve too many times...this will help you get back into the true holiday spirit.
Best Christmas movie !!!!!!.......2007-02-04

Good holiday fun!.......2007-08-23
I bought this DVD because holiday episodes are only played at Christmas and I had never seen it. Also, these shows aren't on any of the other collections we own. Not my son's favorite, but it's still a good collection.
Great Holiday DVD.......2007-07-25
My little one LOVES this DVD the most. He completely gets the idea of the holidays. It's good they put a collection together that shows how Steve met Blue and how Joe was just a baby. The other episodes go along with the winter theme. Great!!!
My kids LOVE this episod.......2007-06-18
This episod is very cute as they showing Joe and Steve when they were little. My 2 little boys love to watch and pretending like them.
Older brother and baby brother they are gather and hug each other...they just love to watch this episod over and over!
entertaining, educational, great.......2007-02-09
My daughter (almost 4) just loves all the Blue's Clue's stories. And I as a mom don't feel too bad to sit my kids (my son is 21 months old) in front of the TV while I am cooking. Kids can really learn a lot from Blue's Clues and my daughter even responds to Steve or Joe when they ask something. The length of the episodes is just the right one as well.
Terrific.......2007-01-13
This DVD is really nice for explaining all the holidays. Keeps it simple and fun. The bonus episodes are good too. Some of these aren't shown often at all.

Customer Reviews:
Worth every penny - a classic!.......2007-04-02
I first saw this video(DVD) at our church's Christmas Day program (a Lutheran church). This video was used as a kick-off to the service. Everyone (kids, husband, myself) loved it. The music was catchy, the story line - engaging, the use of rhyme to tell the story - brilliant. The animation is in a class all its own. Probably best of all, it was so positive, upbeat, joyous and at times even humorous. It was so nice to view a video that actually is about the true meaning and celebration of Christmas. I loved it so much, I searched to purchase our own copy, a copy for friends, and one for the children's religous education program (a Catholic program). The director of CCD sent me a very gushing thank you saying it was awesome and just what they need for their program since so many videos of this sort are lacking. Honestly, of all the DVDs you buy and waste your money on throughout the year, this one is worth every penny.
A wonderful new Christmas story.......2007-01-22
The whole family will love this. It's great to hear Andy's voice!
the very first noelwith andy griffith.......2007-01-12
This was a wonderful Christmas dvd for a child 3-6 or so.The music is awesome and we had fun singing it! I will say that you have to get the version with Andy Grffith narrating . Get this early so you can use it during the whole Christ-mas season so the children will know the real meaning of Christ-mas. Happy New Year P.E.
Perfect for your preschooler.......2007-01-11
We try to limit TV and videos, and we want good quality videos with strong Christian values and morals. This one is terrific! It is highly engaging for everyone (we parents love watching it, too!), not too fast-paced, very pleasant to listen to. Andy Griffith voices the narrator (one of the 3 wise men) and does a terrific job. When our 3YO hears certain Christmas carols, he always says, "That's from the Very First Noel!", even though the songs are done in their own way on the video. If you want a great video of the real Christmas story, this is it!
Best Christmas animation I've seen!.......2007-01-11
By chance I caught this on Direct TV and it was so, so good. It follows the Bible closely, with great animation and details and twist of humour. My 2 kids (5 and 3) each have their favourite characters. We've watched it twice together and I'd definitely buy the DVD for keeps soon. The way Christmas carols have been worked into the story is really cute.

Only 10 Days were worth the movie.......2007-01-10
I returned this movie. Being a Christmas movie fan, I could see no need to retain this in my home. The main reason - the producers found it necessary to include in one of the Christmas Eve's a portion of the main character being extremely self-absorbed -- he buys everything he wants, treats people anyway he wants -- which OK is what self-absorbed people do, however, I didn't need the scene where he has self-fulfilling sex with his girlfriend. The whole bed scene could have been eliminated, even if the producers alluded to it.
At best, the acting was B-rated.
SCROOGE MEETS GROUNDHOG DAY.......2006-11-27
Coming up with new ideas for Christmas movies must be a hard task for movie producers. This charming little holiday nugget combines the reliving the same day elements from GROUNDHOG DAY with the perennial tale of Ebenezer Scrooge as a man given a chance to make his life correct.
In this version, Steven Weber is quite good as Clarence Klein, a corporate exec who opts to spend Christmas Eve courting the head of a South American company interested in his stores, The Buck Stops Here. Patricia Valesquez is charming in this role and adds some love interest (?) as well. After a succesful day with Velasquez, while missing his son's Christmas concert and using a reservation for a fancy restaurant from his current squeeze, Klein is killed when the huge pointing finger logo sign crushes him. He ends up in the hands of angel/Angie Molly Shannon who informs him he has 12 chances to make things right.
Weber tries everything from working in a soup kitchen to giving away 1.2 million dollars to try and earn a new chance but of course it takes him the full twelve days and eleven more deaths to see the light.
Weber's charming performance and Shannon's acerbic turn spark the movie and make it a delightful holiday movie.
Not what I expected.......2006-11-08
I watched this movie expecting to be bored as I have been by other movies where the same day played over and over. I was surprised that this movie didn't bore me, but instead left me anxious to see what would happen next. The guy, played by Steven Weber, thinks he has just experienced this best Christmas Eve of his life because of a great business deal. He has 12 chances to realize what a "best Christmas" really is, and he must figure it out for himself with no hints from his nurse/angel, or it will actually be his last Christmas Eve.
Sometimes you find a diamond.......2005-12-14
This was a wonderful movie. Not only was it heartwarming but it illustrated a gospel point better than any other movie I have ever seen. Jesus said "You must lose your life to save it." and this is the lesson Calvin learns. When he stops trying to manipulate the situation and just does what is right (another gospel point), he abandons himself to just enjoying the time he has with his family. Noboby ever lies on their death bed and says "gee I wish I had taken my family business public!" or "nice family, but I'm really bummed about that business failing 30 years back." Watch this movie and get your priorities straight.
Cute.......2005-12-05
A cute modernized "remake" (or rip-off) of ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE.
Weber makes the film.
Of course he really wasn't such a bad guy to start with which throws the story a little out of whack... heck, he saved the family business from Chapter 11 and made it a success so the whole family is now financially secure.... cut the guy some slack!!
We watched this the same day as the Pitt/Jolie movie MR AND MRS SMITH and actually enjoyed this one a bit more.

Poor language, better for school age kids.......2006-01-18
I bought this for my 3 and 1 year old children. It uses words like stupid, ugly, and dumb (the donkey has a bad attitude in the beginning and after helping Mary, Joseph and Jesus he becomes a good donkey). Now it may be naive of me in today's society, but I do not want my children learning these words from a Christian video about the birth of Christ! If your kids are older and/or already know these words then it is a very cute story (although it could do a better job of reinforcing that name calling can be very hurtful).
Sweet Movie.......2004-12-31
This movie is a sweet depiction of the Birth of Jesus. It is well written and produced.

Awesome! .......2007-07-11
I have a very active baby! She does not care for Baby Einstein DVDs, but LOVES Jazz Baby Jazz. Her eyes are glued. It is the greatest thing for helping me get dinner ready! Thank you!!
our favorite!.......2006-10-10
This is my triplets' favorite video! The pace is of the graphics is good for babies and toddlers and the music is enjoyable even for adults.
gentle video is ideal background during child's play-time.......2006-02-09
Unlike some videos which seem to have a frenetic MTV pace to them, 'Jazz Baby Jazz' offers a gentler pace, which I believe is more appropriate for young children. The video presents colorful animated graphics (animals, cars, bouncing balls, etc.) interspersed with live action footage of babies and toddlers playing with toys.
We've played this video in the background when our 10-month old is playing with his toys. He tends to look up at the TV periodically, and if he catches one of the clips of another child, it holds his attention for 10-20 seconds. Generally, though, he isn't too interested in the animated graphics. He'll look for a few seconds and then return to what he's doing. Some might think the video isn't so good if it can't hold his attention. But I argue the opposite. Any video that turns a kid into a glassy-eyed zombie who can't look away from the images should be destroyed. So I really appreciate the fact that this video offers something of a slower pace, that allows my child to watch for a little while, but then lets him get back to his business. (Of course, we rarely ever have the TV on--generally it's just for movies after the kid goes to bed--so perhaps he hasn't had time to be zombified.)
It's also nice that the images are accompanied by a hip jazzy soundtrack. I want my boy to be musical. Oh, sure--the Baby Mozart and Baby Bach and Baby Mike Oldfield and all the other classical selections are probably great for kids, but come on--let's have some variety! Jazz, baby.

This powerful, moving story for the whole family features the voice of Kate Winslet, among others.
Customer Reviews:
Desperately disappointing.......2006-09-10
War Game is a desperately disappointing animated adaptation of Michael Foreman's excellent children's picture book about the Christmas Truce of 1914. Unfortunately, in the hands of the Snowman team it's all just too nice and safe for the respite to have any power, and the loss of the haunting ending from the book (where the hero's body slowly vanishes under falling snow) in favour of something less upsetting to the kiddies renders it all even more so what: only the beautiful yet quietly devastating closing lines of narration truly work. Terrible performances from many of the voice cast, too. At least at 29 minutes it's brief.
Nice little story.......2004-10-27
This film was made in 2001 but never released to the general public until now. Kate Winslet fans will enjoy this, as she is simply brilliant in animated movies - she has such a lovely voice. Get this on DVD if you see it at a good price!
