I am a huge fan of the movie, and have been able to quote the lines since I was a kid when it came out. After 25 years, do you think I was READY for an update and bonus footage? The footage DID NOT disappoint me. Dolly Parton, ever the comic, cracked so many jokes that caught me off guard and one particular joke was featured in the filmed footage back in the 80's. Dolly was my reason for seeing the movie when it was in theaters. I am, you guessed it, a huge fan of her's, too! There are plenty of interviews from all the principal stars in the movie (even ROZ, who was a HOOT and very sweet!) and all had great things to say about the film. Pretty much a rarity to have ALL of the main characters show up in interview footage to comemmorate a movie. It was very refreshing to know that there weren't any egos that hindered the updated production by way of interviews. All of the stars look very good for having been immoratalized on celluloid 25 years ago, obviously much younger. The deleted scenes will show a pretty good reason as to why the scenes got cut (some were too long, some just plain bad angles), but, it's great to be the "fly on the wall" and see this stuff. Good, bad, indifferent. If you even remotely like the movie, the 25th Anniversary DVD needs to be seen. The actual widescreen seems to be alot bigger than the original DVD release with very thin black bands on top and bottom. Obviously, my rating of this is very prejudiced (I just LOVE the movie, PERIOD!) and mushy, but, in this day and age of boring news and gas prices and wars, it NICE to have something genuinely funny to laugh at. I must say, I was pretty down and depressed at the time I bought the disc, but, the Dolly jokes and the overall "good-feelings" they all had just melted all that away. It definitely was the what the Dr. ordered that day. It came through just when I needed it most. Again! Happy Watching, and, hey, get off the clock and GO HOME! 25 years of overtime it's time you collect the bonus features! -Randy-
