Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

mark.waltz The Singer Midgets return to Hollywood and face the many legends which have filled movie books for years. Of course, they don't mention Nazi agents on the set and a fancy royal couple with a pooch named Strudel. Chevy Chase is a government agent guarding the Duke and Duchess and Carrie Fisher guarding the residents of Munchkinland and the winged monkeys. This leads to chases all over the Rainbow Hotel and MGM studios, visiting the "Gone With the Wind" set, pretty remarkable considering it was filmed at Selznick. The actual surviving "Wizard of Oz" munchkins appear as themselves, many ageless considering that Oz was made 40 years before.Sounds promising, yes? NO! This is one of the great comic disasters over the past 40 years, a film so unfunny that I wanted the witch to swoop down and cover them with the poison from her hourglass. Eve Arden tries very hard with a Eastern European accent to be amusing but is defeated by tasteless material concerning her beloved pup whom she fails to recognize with changing looks. Joseph Maher also tries as the Duke with similar results. Billy Barty gets a few good pratfalls as the German spy who starts his mission by hailing Hitler right in the no-nads. With its Mel Brooks style humor, you think there would be some humor but all it ends up being is a Bugs Bunny cartoon where all the gags land with a thud. And oh, those songs, which sound like the original munchkin songs sped up to make the voices even higher.

davidjcarney I have to disagree with Carrie Fisher's description of this movie as the worst she ever made. Besides, wasn't she drinking and drugging during the early eighties? (Source: Ms. Fishers own "Postcards From The Edge.") Her memory might be sketchy.Here is lots of low brow, Pythonesque humor combined with relentless political incorrectness and slapstick. If you're a fan of the Wizard of Oz, you will never think about the munchkins the same way again.Trivia: Pat McCormack, a writer on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, appears as Tiny. You may remember seeing McCormack appear occasionally on the Tonight Show, where Carson would introduce him as "America's Number One Talent Scout," upon which McCormack would present some of the most howlingly awful acts ever to desecrate the stage.

nottoman I was just thinking about this movie the other day and started looking for it online. Guess what? There's only 4 copies on VHS available on all of Ebay. And as most of you have found out, it's not out on DVD, though someone posted a comment that it is scheduled for release in 2007. When I first saw this I loved it. Crazy as It's a Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild World with so much flavor and great actors. Never a dull moment and seeing Carrie Fisher in her Star Wars era is a treat. Chevy Chase is always a classic. And where else outside of Wizard of Oz can you see so many talented midgets create the zany and entertaining mood that permeates this show. Can't wait to see it again. So..do it buy one of the 4 copies on VHS on Ebay, or wait.....for the DVD. Hmmm

james-429 This is a great movie that satirizes Hollywood stereotypes in a fun filled slapstick romp. Sadly, many people miss the point of satire, and will only see the stereotypes. They will not enjoy the movie, but then why do people with no sense of humor even pick up a comedy??The main character is led through an unbelievable sequence of events while staying at a hotel awaiting a tryout for "The Wizard of Oz". The hotel is filled with hopefuls for the Munchkin parts, and has been chosen as a supposedly quiet meeting place for a Japanese and German spy to exchange info.The German is a midget, and the addition of a Japanese tour bus stopping at the hotel makes the meeting of these two spies quite a mess.toss in lots of slapstick, satire, and chase fun, and you have a comedy romp that the whole family can belly laugh to.
