Fun and well produced

Good production and makes reading the Bible so much more fun because now I remember the scenes from this show as I read.

Not having my fill of the performances that grace each episode of this clever and joyful feeling tv-show, this short, but rather entertaining album delivers the goods. Despite the inclusion of a few Journey songs which set the tone of the series ('Don't Stop Believin'), my favorite is an unlikely one, 'Over The Rainbow', from the classic 1939 film 'Wizard Of Oz'. This version gives new life to the classic. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is the most adventurous track here, and is very faithful to the original. 'To Sir With Love' rivals the Lulu version very much so.
A show packed with humor, energy, and talent, this, among the other Glee cd releases are a must-have. Not just for the sake of these songs coming from the show itself, but sung by capable singers who bring a new edge to these classics.

As a former commercial radio guy who worked his way up from small-town radio in the 80's, this is just so much fun to watch.  While I enjoyed the all too familiar gear used from those days when local radio was really local, the story is endearing in it's nonsense. 100% family friendly and something everybody will enjoy. Worth the time to watch.

This CD is well produced, lots of fun, and offers an interesting variety of music. These are excellent musicians and it's unfortunate that they don't get more attention.

I am 62 and I love this video. It is fun and I don't get bored. Time seems to go by quickly. I also love the radio remixes.

This movie is fun, silly, lighthearted and well produced. The actors did a fantastic job of portraying their characters in an interesting, unique fashion. I enjoy this film because it brings a refreshing, joyous attitude to travel and reminds me to have fun in life. Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell look absolutely glamorous in this production, their costumes immaculately designed. This is an all around fun movie, not at all boring, poorly written, or contrived as current films are most often, now. The writers also did a great job of making the movie funny, and not just for the year it was produced. I am thirty years old and I completely understand the humor. I found it to be somewhat universal. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes musicals, and desires a short vacation from life and reality television.

The Ringo Starr "All Starr Band" tours are generally good fun.  You don't expect a lot from a travelling oldies show, yet they're always well-played, well staged and good entertainment.
This one is no different on that level.  What's a bit different is that the various members - Sheila E, Greg Lake, Ian Hunter, Howard Jones, Roger Hodgson and Mark Rivera - aren't quite the "big names" that he's had in the past.  Their respective contributions are a tad less well-known, for the most part, not being "hitmakers" like past bands.  This isn't taking away anything from them, it's just that the non-Ringo material might be less familiar to many people.
I attended the show from which this CD is taken, and had something of the above impression - and recall leaving satisfied, but not as enthused as past shows.  So upon getting this CD, I put it on expecting no more than my memories of the show.
Ah...but my recollection must have been faulty.  I'm still no more familiar with Jones, Hunter, etc., but this CD is really delightful.  The band gels quite well in backing Ringo and themselves up, in a very entusiastic way.  The solo spots are great fun, and done with more gusto than most oldies acts muster up.  And production-wise, this is probably the best sounding All Starr Band set to date - it just roars out of your speakers.
You can never go wrong with an All Starr Band CD, and this one is more of the same.  Great art?  Nope.  Great fun?  You bet.

Fun record from start to finish. A great listen when driving to work. Looking forward to working out at the gym with this on my headphones.

With the exception of "It's A Wiggly Wiggly World" (which is in its own class, given the original material and guest performers), this is by far the best Wiggles video.  It's fast-paced, the songs are catchy as can be, and it's wildly entertaining.  If you're not afraid to let your guard down, you'll find yourself dancing along with your kids throughout.
And you'll be winded by the end of "Wiggly Party" and "Hoop Dee Doo," the opening numbers.  Thankfully, there are slower numbers strategically placed along the way, such as "Move Like an Emu" and "Marie's Wedding," giving both the big and little folks a chance to catch their breath.  But before you know it, you're back to a "Fun on the Farm" a "Wobbly Dance," or a "Wiggle Hula," and the frantic pace is on again.
This tape gets constant play in my house, and neither I nor my daughter seem to tire of it.  My hands may get a bit sore from the "clap-clap-clap-clap" during "Hoop Dee Doo," and my arms and legs a bit tired from dragging my daughter around during my sad attempts at the polka, but that's well worth the price of admission.
This is a quality production throughout, even if the computer-animated "Caveland" seems a bit out of place.  The kids won't know the difference--they'll love it all.  And unless you're anti-Wiggles, you will, too.  Let go and have fun.

It is fun both having his music and seeing the live performance. I play music often while cleaning, etc., this DVD has a range of tunes, classical to Irish "fun" melodies.

Very worth adding to your collection too.

Fun music that stands up to repeated listening.

The music is excellent, with high quality sound. Not irritating as some classical music can be.  Plus the tempo's are varied which is great depending if you need something fast paced or more slow.  Best of all, the kids enjoyed it!

Excellent music and humor. The video premieres are a nice touch to promote the music, but the music stands on its own.  I bought the music to have even off line and it is worth every penny.  I have been finding myself humming bits of the music at work.

When I first watched this DVD, my expectations were frankly low - a cast of women and girls from a neighborhood in Israel filmed themselves singing around town and made it into a video. Ho hum.

But I was so, so very surprised and utterly delighted.

This is PROFESSIONAL. The filming, the scripting, everything. Total pleasure to watch.

This is ENTERTAINING. I sit and watch together with my girls. They are 2.5 and 5 - they adore it, and wish I would let them watch it several times a day. The songs are really enjoyable and catchy, pretty and full of great content. Even the original tunes are great (the Challah song and 'Shabbos Is Almost Here' we sing around the house together all the time). Unlike a lot of children's programming, these songs are polished musically and lyrically, and don't cause me to squirm or want to fast forward like some songs sung by a purple dinosaur might (for example). :)

This is EDUCATIONAL. In the style of Sesame Street, multi-culturalism is subtly taught and appreciated. The cast includes children to seniors, and multiple stripes of Jewish observance. The stars are children and adults both. And the messages - chessed (lovingkindness), diligence, enjoying chores, trusting in God, honoring elders - are all wonderfully presented, and indeed my children absorbed them and even emulate them.

This is FUN. The songs are infectious as I said, the little bonuses on the DVD like a tap dancing lesson and challah braiding are great extras, and there's a lot of humor in the film as well.

This is NICE. Let me explain what I mean. :) Sometimes (even in religious programming) a villain is used to make a point or provide drama. There's no bad guys in this DVD though, something I appreciate immensely since one of my daughters frightens very easily. Additionally, it's NICE because no one is ever insulted or even teased just to get a laugh. And it still manages to be quite funny at times.

I know I'm gushing, but I really do love this DVD, and I'm so grateful that Rebbetzin Tap and her husband made such a quality product that children and their mothers can enjoy. A sequel is coming out soon, and I can't wait to see it too. I recommend this DVD for any Jewish family.

Bravo Rebbetzin Tap!

Well done--played with the feeling I think the original composers meant to portray. Each track has its own personality, from the serious and fast-paced to the calm and heavenly. It has a good mix of music from the  "grand" orchestra style to the simple tunes of a country dance to  some more modern versions to the way I think it could have been played  originally. There isn't a single track I don't like (no "cheesy"  music). I love to listen to it while I work (I'm a writer) because it  motivates, moves, and inspires me. Some tracks, like the one from  Riverdance, I like especially for the way the fiddler almost seems to  improvise, as though she were moving with the music instead of just reading  the notes.

Wow, this was really fun. After a long, hard day working it was really enjoyable to sit back and be entertained. I loved the movie references. It was really pretty well made and everything just pretty much clicked. Music, acting, special effects and directing all seemed well done. I give it 5 stars for being exactly what it was meant to be. I'll you decide what that is. Kudos.
