If Dana Carvey doesn't make you laugh until your side aches then few comics will be able to. Saturday Night Live presents a video showcasing Carvey and his best work from the show. Included are his hilarious parodies of President Bush, the Church Lady, Ross Perot, the weightlifter Hanz, Garth of Wayne and Garth fame, Johnny Carson and Arsenio Hall. This video will make it painfully clear how funny Saturday Night Live can be with good writing and a great performer. ~ Laura Mahnken, All Movie Guide

Dana Carvey

Dana Carvey became a superstar during his time on Saturday Night Live, thanks to characters like Hans and Franz, the Church Lady, and his impressions of Ross Perot and George Bush. This disc collects some of his best moments from that show. The DVD offers a standard full-frame transfer that preserves the original broadcast aspect ratio of the show. The closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are no subtitles on this release. Supplemental materials include additional footage, some background on the episodes featured on the disc, and (best of all) Carvey's original audition tape. This is an excellent release from Trimark that will please fans of Carvey, SNL, and sketch comedy. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
