VHS Movie Reviews of Pure Luck [VHS]
Movie Review: Martin Short at His Best
Summary: 5 Stars
This has to be the funniest movie that I have ever seen. Martin Short is superb at physical comedy. He and Danny Glover are great together. I could never get tired of watching this movie. I have several Martin Short movies. This is my very favorite. Guaranteed to lift your spirits! My only disappointment is that the last scene cried out for a sequel!Movie Review: Great movie!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
We've been waiting for this movie to come out on DVD for a long time. Great movie for the whole family to watch.Movie Review: Pure Luck - Pure Laughs !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Pure luck is a hilarious comedy, with Martin Short and Danny glover at their best! There is some language, but mild on the scale these days. You'd think with all of today's technology they'd give us a button to turn that stuff off if we wanted to. Anyway, not too much to worry about with this movie, just laugh!!! My favorite scene is where Martin short attempts to use karate on Danny Glover and winds up landing in a .... well you'll just have to watch to find out where he lands. Funniest scene in the whole movie.
Enjoy!
By the way, you can't buy this on cd anywhere except through Amazon. Thanks you guys!!!
Movie Review: Awesome Movie!! - Subpar DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been waiting for Pure Luck to come out on DVD since they started making DVDs back in the 90s. Here's why I gave it 4 stars:
Pros - "Pure Luck" is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Martin Short is flat out hilarious in every scene, and Danny Glover is the perfect costar to balance out the comedy. My family used to watch "Pure Luck" on a regular basis, and I have searched everywhere for the DVD for years, and until now it hasn't been available. I ordered it immediately when it became available on Amazon.
Cons - Instead of the typical DVD format, I think this is merely a recording of the VHS version of the movie. The screen resolution has noticeably less definition than most DVDs. Also, there is no menu; it just starts playing when you put it in, and the menu button just takes you to the beginning of the movie. You can advance to chapters at least using the forward and reverse buttons.
Knowing this, I would still recommend buying the movie, as I doubt it will be released in another format if it hasn't been converted to DVD after all these years. It is clean comedy classic that anyone will love.
Amazon is currently the only place to get "Pure Luck" on DVD, and I wholeheartedly recommend that you buy it, because for some reason beyond my comprehension, this might be the only way to get it on disc.
Movie Review: It's about time.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is easily Martin Short's funniest movie. Why it took so long to come out on DVD is a question no-one seems to be able to answer and to see that it is only available on Amazon is also strange. No matter, I'm buying it. I have been waiting for years for this to come out on DVD, my VHS tape is worn out.
Summary of Pure Luck [VHS]
This weak, 1991 remake of the French comedy La Chèvre stars Danny Glover as a detective who is sent to Mexico to find a businessman's daughter (Sheila Kelley) and who gets stuck with a hapless assistant (Martin Short). The film wears out its welcome very quickly, despite some passable physical comedy from Short. Both actors have made much better movies; don't be surprised if you can't make it through to the end of this one. --Tom KeoghBuddy Films Video
