Monty Python-alum Eric Idle directs and stars in this sequel to his 1978 mockumentary, The Rutles. It's decades later and the Rutles are embarking on their final reunion tour. Along for the ride is S.J. Krammerhead (Idle) who, just like in the first film, interviews several notable celebrities who expound on the greatness of the "pre-fab four." Among those who appear as themselves are David Bowie, Billy Connolly, Carrie Fisher, Jewel Kilcher, Steve Martin, Mike Nichols, Conan O'Brien, and Salman Rushdie. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

Eric Idle, with the help of Neil Innes, created The Rutles, a band that spoofed The Beatles. The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch arrives on DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. English and French subtitles are accessible. The supplemental materials are highlighted by bonus interview footage that did not make the final cut including extended sessions with such notables as Tom Hanks and Conan O'Brien. These clips will make fascinating viewing for anyone who enjoys the improvisatorial style Idle uses during the interview sessions. Outtakes and an alternate ending round out this disc. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
