Amazon.com Only Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders could possibly bring a humorous light to Ingmar Bergman: "Oh, God, is it going to be another Bergman day?" asks French in the bleak black-and-white takeoff, complete with Death coming to call. Even if you've never seen a Bergman film, you'll know enough to find this skit hilarious. In Living in a Material World, French and Saunders make fun of Madonna (Madonna Jennifer is dared to pretend she's blow-drying her hair), Fellini, Baywatch, Dr. Quinn (remade as Dr. Quimn, Mad Woman), Bjoerk (French does a rhinestone-studded impersonation), young brides planning weddings, art galleries, and so much more. The dynamic duo behind Absolutely Fabulous star in this sketch-format series that succeeds like no other. --Jenny Brown

ROFLMAO !!!! May 1, 2007 If you loved Absolutely Fabulous this will be a good one for you to add to the AB/FAB collection. Dawn Frech and Jennifer Saunders are hillarious !
F&S are the best! February 16, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The "Baywatch" spoof alone is worth the price. French&Saunders have long been famous in England as the most brilliant comedy team ever, if you haven't seen them get this disk -- and all their other work as well. You will never laugh so much. As with all really great comedy, you can watch it again and again and laugh just as much.
If you have nothing else to do... August 1, 2006 1 out of 8 found this review helpful
you might consider watching this very cheesy collection of skits by AbFab star Jennifer Saunders (who is only mildly original and amusing here) and Dawn French (who is just plain annoying). Just for reference's sake, I think AbFab is great, original and wild comedy. French & Saunders just doesn't cut it, no matter how hard I try to like it. I'm glad I just bought this one DVD, I'm not going to bother with the others. If you like british comedy and the likes of Monty Python, Benny Hill, Blackadder and AbFab, chances are you will not like French & Saunders very much if at all.
Are you going to do the accent? August 25, 2005 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is the best one. It's got Bay Watch, Pocahontas, Dr. Quinn, Fellini, Batman, Rob Roy (not Rob Roy, the other one, with Mel Gibson), the Hobbit, et al. You'll need tissues from laughing so hard, maybe even, dare I say it, toilet tissue, and the jokes are on many levels, like the fact that Jennifer/Batman is afraid she'll have to kiss a woman.
My second favorite is "At the Movies." But try them all at least once.
I agree with a later reviewer about the subtlety of the humor and pinpoint accuracy of the impressions. You just don't see work like this anywhere.
Caution: May Be Hazardous to Your Health! March 18, 2005 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Have you ever laughed so hard that it hurt? I think I broke my face and ruptured my spleen watching this, but I'd willingly go through it all over again. Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders have got to be the two funniest comics of our time, and this DVD stands out with their 'At The Movies' DVD as some of their best material. Half the time I was howling over the graceful execution of their humor, and the other half of the time I was just awed by the sheer imagination that went into thinking up this stuff (and the detail - omigod!). There's something for everyone in this DVD, from 'Baywatch' to 'Juliet of the Spirits' to 'Braveheart' to several HILARIOUS music videos (I hope one day they put out a DVD of just music videos). The best thing is, one doesn't have to be familiar with the material their satirizing in order to 'get it.' I've never seen 'Baywatch' or 'Dr Quinn', but the 'types' they were satirizing are universal to anyone who has ever even glanced at television. Do make sure you check out the bonus feature on the DVD. The 'Lord of the Rings' satire is priceless! Just make sure you have a sling ready for your poor, aching face ... you're going to need it by the time you're through!
