Movie Reviews of Watermelon Man

Movie Review: The comedy gem now available on DVD!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

So glad this comedy gem from 1970 is now on DVD!!! Incredible acting from the late Godfrey Cambridge(he sadly died 1976 at a very young age,had he had lived he would probably have been a superstar),Estelle Parsons,Erin Moran,and D'urville Martin who later would direct and co-star in low budget classic Dolemite. The anamorphic widescreen transfer looks pretty darn good for low budget film this age,sound is also adequate,being that it's a mono soundtrack,the only real extras present are a optional introdution by Melvin Van Peebles(it runs while watching the film,just like Mel Brooks'one on the Blazing Saddles DVD),and a few trailers,but NOT the one for this film,even with the minor quibbles,it's still a five star DVD!!! A

Movie Review: hysterrical and historical
Summary: 5 Stars

Watermelon Man is a comedy masterpeice. It will become an instant favorite in anyones movie library. Godfrey Cambridges' performance made a difficult part, in a difficult time in American history, look seemingly easy and just as easy to watch. A brilliant and signifigant timepiece from Amazons infinite time capsule!
