Product Description

Growin' A Beard is a documentary that follows the men of Shamrock, TX - and a hairy outsider - as they compete in the town's annual Beard Growing Contest. Since 1938, it's been a tradition in Shamrock to grow a beard from New Year's Day to St. Patrick's Day. But not just any beard - A Donegal beard.

A Donegal grows along the jowl and chin with no mustache - like the Amish or Leprechaun's. Then, on the morning of St. Patrick's Day, right before the big parade, they face-off on Main Street Route 66 and are judged to see who has the best Donegal. In this year's contest the competition is fierce.

This is the Citizen Kane of beard growing DVD's. Be the first on your block to own this impressive documentary DVD.

Loved it.......2003-12-11

I loved this movie and I am not usually the documentary type. Very funny. Great characters in the town. Worth it for sure. Great music to boot. My kids love the music! We play the music all the time for them.

THE FILM! THE GOURDS! THE BEST! What a surprise........2003-11-01

From the film to the DVD extras to the amazing interface, not to mention the full, original soundtrack by Austin, TX super-group, The Gourds, this DVD is great. This is a gift anyone would love to get. You can't duplicate this kind of authenticity. We're Shamrock bound!

The only catch--Mary McDonough (Piper Laurie) won't allow a drop of whiskey in the house. Get ready for a raucous comedy featuring musical performances by Colleen Fitzpatrick, a.k.a. Vitamin C.

An ADULT FilmýNOT a FAMILY Film.......2004-04-03

This film is not for the average person. It is full of continuous conversation and small talk, so be sure you like this kind of film before you get it. That said, it is about an Irish-American extended family who gather together at one of the relative's houses to celebrate St. Patrick Day. The film displays some Irish customs in the way that My Big Fat Greek Wedding displays many Greek customs (the latter being a much better film). I bought this film hoping for it to be something good to watch as a family, with my young daughter. Fortunately, I previewed it alone before allowing my daughter to watch it (it's rated PG-13, and my daughter is 10). More than anything else, this film explores the sex lives of three-quarters of those at the family reunion, meaning from young adults through retired oldsters. They have done a good job of it, with some sensitive portrayals, marriage conflicts (that would be most appreciated by those married 15 years or longer), some good Irish music, and a few humorous moments thrown in. I don't feel it's an appropriate subject for watching as a family, except perhaps with older teenagers, or adult children. I bought this film, but it's not one I'm eager to watch again.

See It!.......2002-06-27

I'll confess. I only knew about this because the singer David Ault is in it and mentioned it at an appearnace here years ago. Check him out under Popular Music.
I liked it although the sound quality of the film seems to be off in the beginning.
Regardless, it has some humorous touching moments and characters that can remind us of the misfits in our own family.

Quirky Off-Beat Low Budget Indie That Works.......2002-06-27

It's obvious from viewing that this film was made with little funding but somehow rises above that limitation to tell a touching humorous story of family dysfunction. It isn't necessarily the names above the title that steal the show, but the other familial characters that shine.

Hilarious satire.......2007-04-14

From the opening line of episode 1 "The headlines tonight; Bottomley (a member of the former conservative British Government) refreshed after three days on cross" this is the best comedy/satire show you will find on DVD. Dating from 1994 it is mostly a vicious parody of UK BBC TV program Newsnight, as presented by Jeremy Paxman.

Nothing is sacred in this show, presenters, events, politicians and the royal family are all satirised brilliantly. Chris Morris is one of the great unsung heroes of British comedy, and as the anchor man (i.e. Paxman) he is perfect. Interviewing a woman organiser of the London Jam festival he quickly reduces her to tears saying:
"How dare you come on this program and say hey look at me I'm raising £1500 for the homeless - you could raise more money by sitting outside a tube station with a hat on the ground, even if you were twice as ugly as you are, which is very ugly indeed".

Another noteable aspect to this show is that it has the first TV appearance of Steve Coogans Alan Partridge character. Here he mans the Sports desk which leads to some marvellous moments.

Although 13 years later some of the political characters are distant memories, in general the show still hits the bullseye everytime. So long as people like Chris Morris are around the high and mighty will always be looking over their shoulder (which is how it should be).

Those are the headlines! God, I wish they weren't........2007-02-17

The headlines tonight: NATO annulled after delegate swallows treaty, car drives by window in town and Leicester man wins right to eat sister. Those are the headlines! Now fact me till I fart!

I was 13 when this life-changing show came on TV. Reaching a small audience on BBC2 at night, The Day Today was a parody of the distinctly British way of News programming, exaggerating all the usual idiosyncrasies and formalities. My granddad made me suffer the News every night when I was a kid so I really got the sense of humor that this show layed on so thickly.

Chris Morris is your utterly, utterly deadpan Anchorman delivering lines like '"I'm so sorry", yells exploding cleaner' to perfection. Alan Partridge (my first introduction to this popular character) is the sports presenter who hasn't a clue how to commentate or appeal to his audience, Peter O'Hanarha-hanrahan is the dunderhead foreign correspondent, Colaterie Sisters does the business news and Valerie Sinatra takes care of the roads in The Day Today Travel Tower a mile above the centre of London. There's also Sylvester Stewart doing the weather but explaining it with cryptic double-meanings that no one could ever figure out. Example 'Thunder and lightning about the volume of a Thin Lizzie concert.' Crazy one-off reporters such as Jonathan Sizz, Eugene Fraxby, Donnald Beth'le'Hem, Harfynn Teuport and Suzanna Geckaloyce are all equally as good despite their small amount of air time.

But the best of them all, without a doubt, is the hard-as-fock, the man without fear, the terrifyingly important mean machine Ted Maul. Always sent out to scope the most dangerous stories (such as a commuter train full of businessmen who have turned into barbarians because of track delays), Ted demands you pay attention and scares you into accepting the facts with his frighteningly authoritative voice. He's just so great, I cannot describe.

There was also several stories by American reporter Barbera Wintergreen with her horribly blown-out NTSC color. Barbera mostly reported on the many, many deaths of American serial killer Chapman Baxter, who always got the chair but actually died on it in various different ways (an electric toilet, while stuffing himself with cheeseburgers).

Without a single duff story, The Day Today is infinitely funny and endlessly quotable. Back in 1994, we never had MP3 players or sound-clips on the internet, so I actually made mix tapes of all the best bits (really hard to choose) and memorised practically every episode from beginning to end. To this Day (today) I still remember it all. Why haven't I bought the DVD yet? And remember, fact times importance equals NEWS!
