Critic Reviews

Mark Bourne, DVDJournal.com
Brooks is the happy-to-be-here studio host, paired with Lane, Broderick, and director Stroman in unscripted moments of background information and personal perspectives.... a day in the life of one of showbiz's happiest collaborations.
Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central
It's fun for the neophyte, and probably indispensable for the fan
