ACTUALLY, A VERY NICE READ

First, I must state that I am not overly fond of autobiographies in general and celebrity autobiographies in particular. I found this one in a used book store and added it to my stack of finds on pure whim. I am very glad I did. The book was actually quite readable and very enjoyable. I have always enjoyed Ms. Reynolds' work and after reading her story, appreciate it, the work, even more. The books is salted with many fine photographs of the subjects life and work and are well placed. The narrative is easy to follow and as I said, "readable." Quite a fascinating life. All in all, if you are interested in such things, I highly recommend this one

I was not able to put this book down! It is so wonderfully entertaining, just like Debbie Reynolds herself! "My Life" is full of great Hollywood stories and focuses on one of the most interesting stories I've ever heard--Debbie's life story. It's funny and it brings you right in, as though Debbie is telling you the story, not just writing it. I HIGHLY recommend this stellar book, "Debbie:My Life."

I've been an elementary teacher for 20 years. I read this book recently after meeting Debbie Silver at a conference in Hot Springs, Arkansas. She's funny, thoughtful, and right on target. This is a great book for novice teachers as well as master teachers.

Debbie Reynolds brings the Hollywood scene to life as she imitates Davis, West, and others of a bygone era in Hollywood......Boller has done a super job telling the story of directors, stars, studio heads...... Time will pass quickly as you listen to this entertaining history of the golden years.

My Favorite Actress Writes a Very Entertaining Advice Book

Review Date: 2007-08-31
Singing In the Rain and Tammy and the Bachelor's Debbie Reynolds writes an advice book in 1962. Don't be mistaken, it isn't an autobiography. It does tell about her life experiances, while telling lessons she has learn by making the wrong choices. It is very entertaining! She keeps you on your toes. I couldn't put it down! I hope you will get this book too and really enjoy it!

Inappropriately aimed at children
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2007-01-07
First of all, let me say that I really enjoyed the first film and lets just say that I havent laughed that hard since the time that I saw that "Help, Ive fallen and I cant get up!" commercial, but the second film really is not appropriate for children. There are numerous sexual references and unneeded foul language all commited by children for children. It is obvious that the actor protraying Tommy(the main character) is not a child anymore (when was the last time you hear a baby speaking perfect english, I mean HELLLOO???) and should pass to role on. I am very disappointed with the producers and actors for taking place in this kind of film. Thumbs down big time!

THIS SUCKED. All it was about was, chukie wants a new mom because his mom is dead (Hey chukie! Why not bury her in the PET SEMETARY. You'll get the treatment you deserve. DEATH and MURDER.) it had no point! Once again THIS MOVIE (...)!

Kimi is a great charecter. But not as good as Lil. But kimi's still my second favorite charecter. It was great when she became one of the rugrats. Kimi's cute.

Could've been better, but still an overall good movie

I, like most of the people commenting here, grew up watching Rugrats since it first came out on TV and I personally still like to watch it to this day as a closet hobbie of mine. That said, my feelings for this movie when I first watched it were good and bad, but overall positive.

To start with the turnoffs, I was surprised a G rated movie had things such as Tommy's diaper falling off and mooning everyone while dancing on top of the record player at his Grandpa's wedding, or Coco's wedding dress being ripped apart and exposing her underwear. I didn't think stuff like that needed to be in there and thought the movie was a little bit grosser than the potty humor found in the regular TV episodes.

I also thought it was a bit of a stretch for the babies to be capable of operating the giant Reptar robot. Though I still was entertained by all the havoc it created by rampaging through town, I just couldn't see how a bunch of infants would be smart enough, let alone be big enough to control it. Sure the movie is made for kids, but even my younger siblings thought that was wierd and didn't make sense.

Now for the good stuff. I thought Klasky Csupo did a good job of integrating pop culture parodies such as Lady and the Tramp, King Kong, and my favorite of all, The God Father. I couldn't stop laughing when I first saw Angelica appear as "The Bobfather" (and believe me she fits that role perfectly) or when Dil first drooled all over her hand. The pop culture parodies were one of the things that made the show great in the first place, and in my opinion the writers did a good job of inserting more of it into this movie.

Coco Lebouche also made a pretty good villian. When you love to hate the bad guy in a movie you know they're good and I just loved her coniving manipulative personality. It's always fun to see those kind of villians get what they deserve at the end and she definately got hers (In fact I wish they had kept the alternate ending [one of the bonus features] in which she was stuck working at a deoderant factory and being grossed out by that low life job she was forced to work).

Most importantly of all, this movie has a wonderful family values aspect to it. Chuckie is my favorite character, and I've always felt sorry for him in being the only baby in the group to not have a Mom. So to see him finally get a really good one in Kira Watanabe, as well as a new sister in Kimi was very touching to me. It's this kind of stuff that I wish more cartoons had these days.

An 8-year-old's review

Of course, I think this movie is super! The reason I rated it 5 stars is because of the plot. Actually, there were a few plots, like the wedding, giant robots, broken hearts, and lying. That is everything I love. Well, okay, maybe the fact that it's not scary is distressing, because I love horror. But, all in all, it was a great film. I watch it a lot with my mom. The villain, Cocoa, was super. Her plan was to become the president of the whole theme park and, believe me, that was a very important job. The whole reason they had to go to Paris, France was because the gigantic robot, Reptar, had his head blown up, which I think was hilarious. It made a huge mess, and then they had to go all the way to Paris which, believe me, is a long way. But, it really turned into an adventure and here are some things that happened: a crazy woman tried to trick Chuckie's dad into marrying her, and a dog running away, then a wedding, and a gigantic robo-snail which, believe me, is exciting and entertaining. I would have given it about 4 stars, but the plot just had to make one more star. My favorite part was when the whole plot began, but Chuckie knew that he must stop all these weird things from really happening, or his life would be ruined. If you ask me, there was a lot they had to worry about. I mean, they still did fix Reptar, which was important. There are even cool controls that make Reptar move. This was the best Rugrats movie I have seen so far. Believe me, you will want to watch this movie over and over with your family.

The main reason I had bought this movie was because my favorite Nascar driver (R.I.P.) Dale Earnhardt and my bf's favorite (R.I.P.) Neil Bonnet are in it. But after I started watching the movie I found it to be funny and loved Burt in that chicken suit! Even though Dale and Neil were only in it for a few seconds I still loved the movie.

Not a four or five star film, but certainly didn't deserve the * that socalled expert critics gave it!

Reynolds, Beatty, Anderson, Nabors and
even Bubba Smith are very fine in here.
Funny, short Comedy movie about egoman-
iac NASCAR (BACK WHEN THE SPORT WAS worth
watching!) driver and hillbilly friends
and pit crew who keep running out of spon-
sors. Reynolds signs on with fried chicken
magnate Beatty without reading the fine
print of contract, to his dismay. Lonie
and Burt started a relationship after
meeting on this set! Funny, especially
Jerry Reed's critique at the end in
outtakes! Director Hal Needham's best
effort with Reynolds! I really like it.

this movie more than any other helped kill what was left of burt reynolds acting rloes for the rest of the 80's and keeped him on t.v. till "boggie nights". not one laugh or even a good chuckle to be had in this mess that was realesased very quickly and went under the waves even faster than "heat" did. man what a waste of time and money. no stars but they make you give it one.

One of many nails in Burt's career...

This film (along with the Cannonball Run movies) pretty much destroyed Burt Reyonlds's career. It's a shame, because anyone who has seen Deliverance knows that Burt Reyonlds can actually act. Instead, he wanted to be a "good ole boy", and he did a plethora of airheaded, terrible films like this. Reportedly, Burt turned down the role of the astronaut in Terms of Endearment for this. Now that's depressing!

It's an oldy but a goody. Looked all over for it for my boyfriend and was so glad I could make his day and find it. He can sit there and watch it over and over. Really good movie.
