Don’t forget to breathe!
• It’s a non-stop laugh riot as the Film Review Special plunges into a world of love, laughs and nitrous oxide! We take a look at all things funny, silly, outrageous and downright hilarious with an in-depth analysis of some of the latest and best comedies to hit the big screen, including:
Maid in Manhattan
• The pop phenomenon known as J-Lo has already proved herself an accomplished actress, working with the likes of Steven Soderbergh. Now she tells us how she approached her first major comedy role, and how aspects of the film eerily echo her own life…
 Analyze That
• De Niro returns as mob boss Paul Vitt. With co-stars Billy Crystal and Lisa Kudrow and director Harold Ramis he talks us through their reasons for coming back…
 Free Coverdisc
• Interviews, clips and trailers from eight comedy films, including Maid in Manhattan. This VCD PAL disc is available from VI Direct with the Jennifer Lopez cover.
 Ebony & Ivory
• How the early days of comedy influence the present day. Bow down and pay tribute to Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel & Hardy and Harold Lloyd – they risked their lives for laughter!
Withnail & Him!
• We take a look at the writer/director who created one of the most enduring British comedies of all time, Withnail & I. Bruce Robinson takes us through his distinctly chequered, but never less than riveting, career.
The Funniest Comedy Movies of All Time!
• The Film Review Special team of rib-ticklers offers up a definitive guide to the greatest comedies known to Man. From Airplane! to Young Frankenstein, it’s a treasure trove of laughs that’ll leave you weak at the knees and quite possibly requiring some kind of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Not, admittedly, that that’s a huge selling point. Suffice to say, you’ll never be found wanting for a giggle again!
Massive DVD review section!
• If it’s not covered in our review section, chances are you’ll find your favourite comedy here, as, in association with our sister title Ultimate DVD , we pick apart the bones of the funniest discs around and snuffle up the truffles of jollity that lie within! A must for anyone with a DVD player! And, frankly, no small beans for anyone without one, either.
The 10 Worst Comedies… Ever!
• As much as we all love to spit our popcorn and cola over the person sitting in front of us when we’re guffawing at a stroke of comedy genius, it’s got to be said that much of what passes for ‘comedy’ is a load of, well, cobblers. Thankfully, armed with this Bible of Spleen, you will henceforth be warned against attempting even the mildest of titters at such lamentable fare as Police Academy V: Assignment Miami Beach.
One’s Man’s Meat…
• …is another man’s curiously shaped potato on That’s Life. Why do we have to agree to differ on comedy movies so much? Just what is it that defines our sense of humour?
