• Step Brothers / Talladega Nights / Kicking And Screaming / Stranger Than Fiction | DVD | (27/07/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £20.41

  Step Brothers: In Step Brothers Ferrell plays Brennan Huff a sporadically employed thirty-nine-year-old who lives with his mother Nancy (Mary Steenburgen). Reilly plays Dale Doback a terminally unemployed forty-year-old who lives with his father Robert (Richard Jenkins). When Robert and Nancy marry and move in together Brennan and Dale are forced to live with each other as step brothers. As their narcissism and downright aggressive laziness threaten to tear the family apart these two middle-aged immature overgrown boys will orchestrate an insane elaborate plan to bring their parents back together. To pull it off they must form an unlikely bond that maybe just maybe will finally get them out of the house. Talladega Nights: A comedy film about a fictional NASCAR racing driver named Ricky Bobby. It has fun with stereotypes of the sort of people involved with NASCAR racing. Kicking & Screaming: Welcome to that cutthroat hyper-competitive do-or-die sport of...little-league soccer; a world where kids and their victory-crazed suburban parents find themselves on a high-stakes collision course-all in the name of good clean athletic fun. At the epicenter of this overzealous world is Phil Weston ((Will Ferrell) a gentle New-Agey vitamin salesman who by default ends up coaching his sweet 10-year-old son Sam's (Dylan McLaughlin) last-place team the Tigers. This would be tough enough for the super-supportive Phil who truly believes it's not whether you win or lose but if your soul gets nurtured. But when he's pitted against his gung-ho relentlessly competitive father Buck (Robert Duvall) who coaches his own young son Bucky's (Josh Hutcherson) top-ranked team the Gladiators a lifetime of putting up with Buck's overbearing ways finally takes its toll on Phil and well...the balls hit the field. Eventually as Phil and Buck go head-to-head for the soccer league championship the pair's past and constant rivalry spins wildly out of control forcing each to stop at nothing to ensure a winning season. This includes a now-maniacal Phil recruiting the world's best assistant coach the legendary Mike Ditka (played by none other than Mike Dikta) as well as two young Italian soccer prodigies who become the Tigers' secret weapons. Can father and son put their rocky past behind do what's best for their own children (and grandchild!) and realize that soccer is just a game? Not a chance! May the best coach win. Stranger Than Fiction: Stranger Than Fiction is an inventive comedy about a novelist (Emma Thompson) struggling to complete her latest and potentially finest book - she only has to find a way to kill off her main character Harold Crick and she'll be done. Little does she know that Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) is inexplicably alive and well in the real world and suddenly aware of her words. Fiction and reality collide when the bewildered and hilariously resistant Harold hears what she has in mind and realizes he must find a way to change her (and his) ending.

• Comedy Greats | DVD | (03/02/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  A "two-plus-one" package from Siren, Comedy Greats features classics from the two greatest silent-screen comics, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, plus a rather dreary effort from Danny Kaye. Never the most scintillating of comedians, Kaye's personable talents are thinly spread in 1949's The Inspector General. Distantly(!) based on a short story by Russian satirist Nikolay Gogol, this tale of mistaken identity enables Kaye to indulge in obvious wisecracks and not-so-smart dialogue. Sylvia Fine's songs are mildly amusing, and Henry Koster draws capable support from Walter Slezak and Elsa Lanchester, but it's a long haul. When he made Tilli's Punctured Romance in 1914, Charles Chaplin had yet to perfect the "little man" routine which made him the most popular 1920s screen star. His loveable rogue is well displayed opposite Marie Dressler's formidable country maid, whose unexpected windfall becomes the real object of his desire. Mabel Normand contributes an attractively period chic, and if, in the hands of Mack Sennett, the humour tends to fall back on music-hall slapstick, the historical significance of the film is undoubted. Yet it's Buster Keaton's 1928 classic Steamboat Bill Jr which comes out on top here. Keaton is perfectly cast as the put upon student, whose bravery saves both his father and his steamboat-owning rival, and wins the hand of the latter's daughter. Solid support comes from Ernest Torrence and the winsome Marion Byron, with Charles Riesner getting maximum drama from the cyclone sequence, but it's Keaton's soulful expression and breathtaking stuntwork which are the most potent reminders of a talent only later to receive its due. On the DVD: Comedy Greats is acceptably remastered, with 1.33:1 aspect ratio and 12 chapter headings per film, and decently packaged, this is worth acquiring--even though Keaton's film is the only one you're likely return to often. --Richard Whitehouse
