My Thoughts:

When I saw the title of this DVD I really didn't know anything about it. I didn't know that it was all about parodies of documentaries. I was thinking that it was just about original documentaries. I was really surprised to find out it about parodies! There are 14 episodes which included seasons 1 and 2.

When I started watching it I thought it was hilarious! The actors Fred Armisen and Bill Hader from Saturday Night Live are really entertaining and it kept my attention. I wanted to keep watching it right from the beginning. These guys are great comedians which make a serious documentary form so funny.

Besides Armisen and Hader, I liked viewing Jack Black (one of my favorites). He is always so funny in any movie I've seen. I don't know how they can keep a straight face when filming these. They make it seem so serious while being funny.

So far I'm on Season One and am liking this DVD and would recommend it.

If you like parodies of films, you can find it on Mill Creek Entertainment right now for $24.98.
