VHS Movie Reviews of Jeeves & Wooster: Jeeves Saves the Cow-Creamer
Movie Review: Read this, Old Shoe
Summary: 5 Stars
The adaptations of PG Wodehouse's Wooster and Jeeves stories staring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry are all excellent. I saw them all on Masterpiece Theatre on PBS a few years ago and have been hooked ever since.The humor is very subtle... Hugh Laurie's portrayal of Bertie Wooster really makes it all work.
Movie Review: Laurie at his Best
Summary: 5 Stars
The title's strangely intriguing, right? Don't worry, follow your instinct on this one. Since all of the J&W series are hilarious, it's hard to rank them, but I have to say that this is without a doubt one of the best. Bertie Wooster, a young British gentleman of the 1920's who is con- stantly getting stuck in one bumbling scheme or another, is called upon by his aunt to restore one of her husband's treasured knickknacks from the man who stole it- chaos erupts, and who can Bertie turn to but his scarily wise butler. Hugh Laurie, who plays Bertie, is one of the funniest comedians I have ever seen- even when he's not really doing anything except, say, nodding his head or something, the man is constantly hilarious. Why isn't this on instead of "Friends"?
Summary of Jeeves & Wooster: Jeeves Saves the Cow-Creamer
To millions of devoted fans, P.G. Wodehouse?s "Jeeves and Wooster" stories are a delightful obsession, an irresistible and irreverent romp through the snooty drawing rooms of Edwardian England?s tweedy elite. Now A&E Home Video brings Wodehouse?s comic masterpieces to life, teaming director Simon Langton (Pride and Prejudice) with an extraordinary cast, including Hugh Laurie (Blackadder, Strapless) as the well-meaning but dim aristocrat Bertie Wooster and Stephen Fry (A Fish Called Wanda) as Jeeves, his hilariously arch and resourceful valet. Bertie is dispatched by Aunt Dahlia to secure a rare silver cow-creamer and is outsmarted by Sir Watkyn Bassett--who is not only an arch silver-collecting rival, but also the magistrate who fined Bertie for stealing a policeman?s helmet. When the creamer disappears from Bassett?s estate, the eyes of his imperious houseguest fall on Bertie. Can anyone save him? Only Jeeves, of course.Pelham Grenville Wodehouse's immortal characters are brought to glorious life in this hilarious series, starring Hugh Laurie as the chinless but charming Bertie Wooster and Stephen Fry as his valet and frequent savior, Jeeves. Superb period detail, performers who seem to have been born for these roles, and a hearty helping of Wodehouse wit make these shows essential viewing for anyone in search of a sophisticated chuckle.
When Bertie is dispatched by Aunt Dahlia to sneer at a valuable cow-shaped silver cream pitcher, he inadvertently allows it to fall into the hands of Sir Watkyn Basset, silverware collector and one of Wooster's many nemeses. Sir Watkyn also happens to be the father of Gussie Fink-Nottle's fiancée, and when Gussie asks for help healing a breach with his betrothed, Bertie and Jeeves head for Totleigh Towers, both to aid the drone in need and to steal the cow creamer for Aunt Dahlia. This deliciously complicated plot is further enhanced by the presence of one of Wodehouse's most hilarious creations: Sir Roderick Spode, leader of the dreaded Black Shorts and would-be dictator. As disaster looms, it's up to Jeeves to discover Spode's dark secret and set the world right. --Simon Leake
