Rating: Summary: Waist of money - from a huge "Kids" fan. Review: This DVD was the most dissapointing purchase I've made in a long while. I saw this show live in Boston in 2000 and it was a blast, funny as hell! The DVD does NOT capture the show, instead it shows meaningless and humorless behind the scenes footage with some other random footage which adds nothing. Leave that stuff for the extra features and give us the show uncut. The tapes of the old shows, which are classic, are a much better choice for a purchase.

Rating: Summary: A must have for KITH fans Review: This is a great dvd for those who are longtime fans of the Kids are curious about their backstage dynamics. You get a great feel for their live shows, as well. The commentaries are funny and insightful. Some people have complained about the audio quality of the dvd but it is only poor in parts because they were just using the camera mic to capture the sound for the behind-the-scenes segments. Therefore, the quality of the audio depended on how close each person was to the camera. Most of it is just fine, and the stage segments sound fine because they are wearing mics. I was very pleased with this dvd and would love to see one made from their 2002 tour and a set done from their tv shows!
Rating: Summary: Fine entertainment well worth the money Review: This is a very fun and entertaining documentary of the Kids in the Hall tour of 2000. Not only are you given some of the hilarious bits from the actual performances they did, but you also get insightful "behind the scenes" stuff showing the group dynamics. From Scott Thompson obsessing over the robot dog he wanted for the act, to the sniping when Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald did a Conan bit on the show that Scott had cancelled an appearance on.The extras are great too. Everything from Dave's Lasik's surgery (I'd love to get the operation, so for an operation freak like me it was interesting to look at) to an in-depth segment on Paul Bellini, this dvd rocks. A perfect present for the diehard KITH fan and a pleasant surprise for those who have never heard of the Kids in the Hall. Buy it now!
Rating: Summary: AWESOME Review: This is one of the funniest movies i've ever seen. They even brought back lots of the funniest characters from the show. But sadly they forgot about gavin. Now, who agrees with me that they should come out with season one of kids in the hall on dvd???
Rating: Summary: I love the Kids...but... Review: While the behind the scenes footage is interesting, it focuses on some of the least interesting aspects of this tour. Far too much time was wasted on Scott's AIBO robotic dog, for example. The Kids rock, but this DVD is comprised primarily of mundane backstage banter instead of their trademark irreverant humor. Diehard fans will love this, but newcomers should look elsewhere.
