Description

Catch the insanity on and off the stage with The Kids In The Hall as they barnstorm across North America on their historic 2000 reunion tour. This histerical 105 minute documentary, directed by Dave Foley, goes almost too far behind the scenes as Canada's funny fab five get their act together and take it on the road. DVD also includes a hilarious commentary track featuring The Kids, Andy Richter, Mike Meyers, Jason Priestley, Matt Stone and Trey Parker from South Park.

Disappointing.......2006-05-27

The Kids in the Hall, Same Guys, New Dresses is something of a disappointment. It follows the Kids on their North American tour in 2000. It was kind of interesting how they showed some behind the scenes stuff and how things were written. But the problem is that the movie only showed clips from the actual tour.

There's new material, or at least newer than the old stuff from the series, but we don't get to see it. It's like a tv clip show. They show them getting dressed and eating dinner and talking about the skits. Then they show maybe 10 seconds of a clip. I kept wating for them to get to the actual show.

So don't get this unless....well, unless you like being teased. If you like your comedy shown and then quickly pulled away at the last second, this might be for you. Otherwise it's not.

best reality dvd on the market.......2005-03-08

David Foley directed this into a hilarious piece. I find this far more funny than watching a "tour" dvd. It is sad to see TV comedy re-enacted on stage for rabid geeks who can recite the bits in their sleep. Python at the Hollywood Bowl is a tribute to how far men are willing to denegrate themselves for a paycheck. I like this dvd because it is not at all like that. What Foley did was show us real people instead of trying to venerate or create some myth of "the kids". These real, funny, intelligent guys are together for better or for worse. The movie audience gets to peek back stage without it beening assumed we are watching to decide who is the cutest kid in the hall. Finishing it with his eye surgery is Dave's way of letting us know that none of the kids are too big to be small and petty. It is only fair since he made Scott Thompson look a right pratt through the whole thing.

Great For Hard-Core Fans at a Great Price!.......2004-12-31

My girlfriend bought me Brain Candy and Tour of Duty for my birthday and I was overwhelmed with joy. I watched Brain Candy about 15 times, and Tour of Duty was outstanding, but I began to get interested in the behind the scenes portion of the tour, so you can imagine how interested i was in the Same Guys New Dresses DVD. I didn't have much money so i waited until Zellars had it on sale for 4.99 (GREAT BARGAIN!) and I rushed home to watch the Kids I love so dearly. I was NOT dissapointed at all. It's a great DVD for the hardcore fans of the series because it captures the side of the kids you just don't see on the show.

Some people have said that the audio is terrible, but i didn't notice one thing wrong with it. It came in crystal clear for me, and besides, it's suppose to be a ROAD MOVIE, not a professionally crafted, fake... thing.

As for the only drawback (which is hardly a drawback), there isn't enough of my favourite kid, Brucio.

A Real Buzz Kill............2003-12-16

I LOVE the Kids, but this dvd is so disappointing! Too much focus on the backstage bickering. Badly filmed, muffled sound. The situations and discussions filmed seemed to make the Kids look like a bunch of whiny babies who don't like each other anymore. I wanted to see more of the stage show, what little was covered of it looked pretty funny.

I guess this is really a look into the reality of the Kids and how they (didn't) get along with each other after working separately for the years after the TV show was over. It just made me sad. I can't wait for the TV shows to all be on DVD--if it isn't in the works then it oughta be.

The absolute worst rip off!!!.......2003-08-08

I should have taken heed the other reviews of this dvd. Not only is it boring as all but the dialogue is barely audible. It is basically someone with a handicam following the Kids around - who knew it would be so darn boring. The biggest thing that bugs me is that you can't return dvd's (or software) so you just are stuck with it even though it shouldn't have even been released considering the audio visual. Damn shame.
