Linguini Incident, quirky and weird.

"It's quite a bizarre caper, and you have to wonder who came up with the idea of this movie. . . I saw it during a "quirky" film marathon with a bunch of friends, and I laughed so hard watching it. It's true, that the people who have seen it have mixed feelings about the film. You definitely have to be in the mood to enjoy its unusual sense of humor. One thing to keep in mind, don't take it seriously. . . I know that film critics have, and that is why they can't understand how good this film can be."

On DVD as "Shag-o-rama"

"I'm always the last to know anything, but in case there is anyone else who might be even more "last to know" than I am, here's the scoop.



I just found out by sheer accident a few nights ago that The Linguini Incident WAS released on DVD. However, it was put out under a completely different title: Shag-o-rama. The information I found said that the movie wasn't changed a bit, except for the title credit.



Since it's already out-of-print, for copies of this DVD you'll probably have to watch eBay (I bought one there) or used DVD shops in your local area, if you have any.



And for the record, I found this to be a quirky, off-beat, romantic caper comedy. It's funny and cute, even if it is slightly over the top. (And I really loved Arquette's 1920s outfits!)

Bra weapons, magic tricks and one snarky Bowie

"This is my favorite Bowie movie of all time. Not only are the characters downright quirky and fun, but the plot itself is funny in its own right. Who knew a pair of handcuffs could get you into so much trouble? I just hope that it eventually makes its way onto DVD!"
