Pretty good 30 minutes expanded into an hour and a half

Michael was always the bright spot in the Police Academy movies and he's very funny here, as well, when he does what he does best--sounds. He does a great Jimi Hendrix--the guitar, that is--and a hilarious bit involving a monster truck and Cheech and Chong as hitchhikers.

Then he goes on a bit too much about a character he did in "Gremlins 2" and does stories where he talks about doing sounds more than actually doing them. This all would have been okay if it were a thirty or forty minute set, trimmed here and there to keep the pacing up, but they pad this baby out to feature-length with shots of Michael at a Hard Rock Cafe and other places.

Best bet is to watch this sucker on tape and fast-forward all those pace-killing bits.

In answer to the previous comment, if you want to control a performer and make them only do a song or a voice YOU want to listen to, then it's my opinion that your not a true fan and shouldn't be posting a derogatory comment about Michael or anyone if you like their work.

Michael has an awesome talent and has honed his skills to perfection for decades and decades ( sorry, not trying to make you feel old Michael ).

Take time to watch this one if you are a fan of his. It sheds some insight to the man he is, his opinions, and yes, there are a lot of great spots showing off is vocal instrument, so if you admired him at all in any of the movies or commercials or live performances you have seen him in, then this is a must-have for your personal collection.
