VHS Movie Reviews of Snl: The Best of 96-97 [VHS]
Movie Review: The usual SNL tripe.
Summary: 1 Stars
Sorry, but it's crap. All but the Norm Macdonald bit is the same old junk. We're SNL! We're hip, daring, fearless! Nope, and not funny, either.
True wit has to have an intelligence and grace to it.....SNL has more often than not appealed to the lowest in people. We know why. Comics call it "Dick jokes". Always gets a laugh, but more important, gets the ratings. We know whats going on, right? Money, money, money.
There have been flashes of brilliance down through the years. Its whats kept my interest in it.
Not much here, though. If you're somewhat thoughtful, take a pass on this one. If you're shallow, laugh easily, and pride yourself on being PC, this is for you.
Summary of Snl: The Best of 96-97 [VHS]
Saturday Night Live was not exactly in its heyday in the late 1990s. But despite some lackluster characters and casts, there are still a few moments that shine humorously through. Opening with Norm MacDonald's Bob Dole meeting the real Bob Dole (who with good spirit mocks himself), The Best of '96-'97 is off to a running start. This 92-minute clip tape contains a monologue by Chris Rock and skits with Tina Turner, Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Rosie O'Donnell, Robert De Niro, Pamela Anderson, and others. Highlights include a Jeopardy segment "starring" Burt Reynolds, Sean Connery, and Jerry Lewis (played brilliantly by Martin Short); the cartoon "Fun with Real Audio," which uses the real voices of politicians with outrageous animation; the Roxbury guys, Steve and Doug Butabi; different actors auditioning for Star Wars, including Kevin Spacey as Christopher Walken doing a screen test for Han Solo; an A&E Biography of Tiger Woods; and Norm MacDonald as David Letterman. Some sketches, though, could be a little better--and shorter--such as "The Joe Pesci Show" (although the real Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro confronting the fake ones is vaguely amusing), the Spartan cheerleaders doing Baywatch, and "The Delicious Dish" on NPR. There may not have been many funny moments from the '96-'97 season, but the few that were are on this tape. --Jenny BrownTelevision VHS Video
