Movie Review: Bob Hope Christmas Classics
Summary: 3 Stars

I love Bob Hope and all the wonderful things he did in his life time. Most of the video brought back pleasant memories sitting in front of the TV with my family. The sitting at his home with friends and family was disapointing and non professional. I think a single narrator would have been much more effective.

Movie Review: A ghost from Christmas Past.
Summary: 5 Stars

Now that I am in my 30's, I see everything I once knew and loved being replaced with another generation of performers --- most of whom I don't like or are at best mediocre. So few of today's stars can inspire the same admiration I felt when I was a kid. Even as a young boy I knew there was something significant about Bob Hope. I grew up watching his Christmas specials, but so did my father and grandfather (via the USO shows). Bob was just as much a fixture of the holiday as tinsel on a tree. But after he passed, that all seemed to stop.

Fortunately, with this DVD I can now keep a part of that tradition alive. Alongside the annual must-sees like "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" I have these wonderful moments of Bob Hope at his holiday best. It has clips and sketches from shows I remember, but also from shows before my time, all of which were laugh-out-loud funny. The extras include bloopers, which should not be missed because it gives a peak at what he was like behind the scenes -- which is as charming and funny as you thought he would be.

If you like Bob Hope and miss seeing his Christmas specials, this DVD will give you a dose of the old - but timeless - holiday spirit that you can share with the next generation. My only complaint is it's not long enough. But I wouldn't be satisfied until there was a DVD box set of each individual Christmas special shown in its entirety. Until that happens, I am very happy to have this to watch again and again.

Movie Review: Good Choice
Summary: 4 Stars

This was a good buy. I remember Bob Hope travelling abroad during the holidays, putting on his shows. This was a nice way to remember those days. I could have done without the celebs at his house and just seen the clips, that would have been enough for me.
