Movie Reviews of Bob Hope - Hope for the Holidays
Movie Review: Good 1-hour show of Christmas clips...
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD gives you a 'taste' of the Bob Hope Christmas Specials which I grew up on as a child. It was very enjoyable... though I do wish it was much longer in length. Actually I would love it - and I'm sure others as well here? - if someone could just do a documentary on Bob Hope's Christmas shows for our nation's troops over the years. To me this was the funniest and most nostalgic part of the DVD seeing him and his guests - esp. his beautiful female guest stars, some who were singers - interacting with the troops during various war times. These sections were much more interesting than the 'comedy sketches' which were kind of lame. Comedy doesn't do well over the years - except for maybe the political humor - as well as the musical segments, I think, IMHO.
