All Aboard! Rosie's Family Cruise demonstrates that gay families can be just as loving, sharing, exasperating, and embarrassing as heterosexual ones. A documentary of the Atlantic Ocean cruise sponsored by Rosie O'Donnell, All Aboard! features rich, compelling interviews with gay couples and their children, with brief musical numbers (some sweet, some cloying, some campy) and standup comedy sprinkled here and there. The parents include football players, hairdressers, and police officers, while the kids range from infants to rambunctious teenagers. While part of the point of the documentary is that these families are as typical as families with male and female parents, it's astonishing how self-possessed and open these teenagers are; having faced prejudice all of their lives, they've had to define themselves in ways most teens take for granted--and the result is a decidedly atypical poise and perception. But perhaps the most striking moment of the documentary comes at the very beginning: As the families come on board for the cruise and find themselves in an environment without judgment, the relief on their faces is palpable. All Aboard! is deceptively simple; it seems to unfold without shape, but by the end it's covered an impressive array of topics, both personal and political, without ever feeling preachy or forced. --Bret Fetzer

Description

One cruise. Five hundred families. Thousands of memories. This feature-length documentary brings viewers onboard the Norwegian Dawn cruise ship for a joyous voyage, in which celebrity superstar Rosie O?Donnell and her family joined hundreds of other gay, lesbian, bisexual and straight families on a weeklong trip from New York City to the Bahamas and back. With a bold stroke only Rosie could make, a joyous new community was born in this judgment-free setting, as passengers celebrated their freedom and made a positive, progressive statement about what ?family? means today.

Thank goodness for a film about diverse families!.......2007-05-15

Rosie and Kelli reinforce the truth that families define themselves. I have watched this documentary 3 times and have only become more of a believer that family is family. I must thank them for providing a safe place for children in "non-traditional" families.

excellent video of R family cruise.......2007-05-12

Purchased video because we do not have HBO and thought it would be great to watch and also to have when our son gets older. We have not done cruise but would now certainly do so. Excellent to see the level of freedom among our families. Blessings to all of us who are raising children in this world as gay and lesbian folks.

Very inspirational DVD!.......2007-05-07

I was so moved after watching this documentary that I bought it and wanted to show it to all my friends and family. My partner and I are already planning to book a Rosie cruise to Mexico in 2008 for our family. We have two little boys that will undoubtably love it as much as we will! This is one of those movies that you are happy to pass on to someone else!

Worth Seeing To Hear Gavin Creel.......2007-03-03

This DVD is worth seeing for the beautiful moment that Gavin Creel sings "Who Will Love Me As I Am" from Side Show. Great, Moving DVD that everyone should see!

Every politician should have to watch this maybe Laws would change!.......2007-01-31

I am straight. I Loved this DVD. It showed the love of all types families. People are so homophobic its shame. I felt bad for the couples it should be legal for them to get married, you can see how much they love each other. They should have all the same rights.

If we could all be so lucky to have such loving parents. I really enjoyed the DVD and I was very moved. I think more people should watch it just to see how gay families really act everyone has their own ideas but they are really just like you and me. Very well done. Wonderful!!!! And ......I LOVE ROSIE! It was nice to see her and her family together :)

WONDERFUL!.......2007-05-20

I have been a garage sale shopper for YEARS, but this DVD taught me how to shop in a whole new way. I bought it because I am interested in garage saling for goods to sell on ebay, and Lynn taught me how to shop for that specific reason. Many great tips on things I just would not have known! What a pleasure to learn to shop from an antiques expert at such an inexpensive price!

Entertaining and informative primer on garage sale shopping for ebay.......2007-05-20

I have many works by Lynn Dralle. She is a sharp, savvy, business women and shares all her techniques through her books, dvd, seminars, etc. She appears to be extremely hard working and if you follow her instructional materials you can't help but achieve success. How successful depends on your efforts. But she certainly provides the education.

I wish I could travel with her every week garage saling.......2007-05-19

At first glance you think the video is amateurish - thats at first glance. After a few moments you are involved with Lynn's garage saling. You get to see what she buys and why. Then she shows how to do the research before listing her items to get maximum bids. It's awesome. It's like walking along with a friend to learn the ropes.

You'll like this DVD.......2007-05-19

I hesitated to buy this because of some of the negative reviews posted here and because I'm not a beginner on eBay, but the price was so reasonable I thought "why not?". I'm so glad I did! I learned a few things from the valuable tips and enjoyed the way the information was presented. I felt like I was walking along with Lynn hunting for bargains then sitting down in front of the computer to go through the steps to sell the items. Good job, Lynn Dralle and THANK YOU!

Good step by step video on ebay selling .......2007-05-19

I just bought this video and enjoyed watching Lynn go through the step by step process of buying at Garage sales, listing, and taking photos. With a little knowledge and research of your own making you start learning what to look for when finding ebay treasures. This is a great starter for the new ebay seller.

All Aboard America.......2006-08-23

I purchased this DVD for my grandson who is 4. He loves the music and the characters in addition to learning about America by listening to the words of the songs and listening to the person narrate American history in easy to understand words. This is a great DVD for young children both for entertaining and for educational purposes.

American classic entertainment perfect for kids!.......2005-08-13

My two kids, ages 6 and 8, really enjoy this DVD. A cartoon dog named Stars and a cat named Stripes travel with their guide Rudy the Bald Eagle to see famous landmarks around the U.S. There's lots of classic american music ("Home on the Range", "Yankee Doodle", "Grand Old Flag", etc.) and plenty of trivia for the kids to soak up. A good addition to your collection of family-friendly DVDs!

26 Programs! 11 HOURS! Since the introduction of the railroads as a viable means of transportation in the early 1800's, mankind has held them in rapt fascination. Whether this admiration developed from awe of the speed and motion; or the mechanical complexity; or the romance of new vistas or returning home to familiar ones, this devotion has seldom wavered. This series examines many aspects of the North American Railroad scene. Each episode explores a small portion of the steel rail system which played a major role in the development of North America. Many of the shows incorporate historic film footage recording the early days when the trains were powered by the steam locomotive. Much has been written about these machines, which so many have described as living things. While they have disappeared from everyday operation, it is still possible to witness their sights and sound through these film clips. This is a living history as these episodes display the development of the railroads up to the present day. A glimpse of changes in lifestyles is also seen as people interact with the railroads through time. Today the railroads are dominated by the massive high horsepower diesel locomotive thundering across the countryside. Although much of the variety of railroad companies has disappeared over the years, present day rail operation is featured, including Amtrak's national passenger service. The interest in preservation has lead to the establishment of several 'tourist' railroads running historic equipment through fabulous scenic vistas, several will compliment this series for the viewer's enjoyment.

Sing along joy.......2006-08-15

My son is nearly two, and he has loved this DVD since the first time we watched it. He loves singing along with nearly every song, and while most of it's still gibberish to my husband and me, "E-I-E-I-O" along with the animal sounds of Old McDonald come out loud and clear.

I am also hopeful that other colors will soon be coming out of his mouth thanks to this DVD. Currently every color is yellow, but with the nice rhyming scheme of the color bits, I think he will have the other basic ones down in no time.

The series of bits on shapes keeps his attention nicely. We are all drawn to the woman's voice.

Using a train as a connective theme is also a favorite of my toddler.

Nice job, QuicKutz!
