Recess - School's Out (DVD) ... Jason Davis ... / DVD released 19 June, 2006 at Walt Disney Home Video / Features of the DVD: Animated, Dubbed, PAL, Widescreen / Disney's Recess: School's Out dipped in and out of cinemas faster than fans of the cable TV show could snap their lunch boxes shut--kind of nice for parents whose idea of grown-up detention is sitting through such fly-by-night features for children. Now that home screenings are an option, though, plan for the ages 5-and-older set to settle in for reruns. Also plan to get sucked in yourself--if the screwball plot doesn't do it, the soundtrack will. While TJ and Principal Prickly (the latter the unfortunate bearer of the "saggy butt" that becomes this movie's clunkiest running gag) bust in on a crew of fiendish would-be teachers during summer break, slices of vintage grooviness--Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild,"Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Incense and Peppermints," and Robert Goulet's "Green Tambourine" among them--get you cheering along, whether you're 3 or 43. The reason for all the retro funkiness revolves around the chief bad guy, Phil Benedict, a one-time educational visionary and former Prickly schoolmate. Benedict was a radical school revolutionary, but his manifesto for better test scores misfired when it called for a ban on recess, a concept so barbaric it got him canned from a cushy government job. Now, undeterred in his mission to make life miserable for children, he's hatching a "switcheroo" scheme that will forever pull the shade on summer and thus summer vacation. Predictably, right at trigger time, TJ, Prickly, and the gang roar in to the rescue. It's an ending that's as pat as any on the TV show, but so what--this is a movie that aims for summer-linen lightness. Just as the Fifth Dimension promise on the soundtrack, it lets the sunshine, as well as a few well-timed chuckles, in. --Tammy La Gorce, Amazon.com

There's sporty Vince and intelligent Gretchin, along with fighter Spinelli, and singing sensation Mikey. Theyre all different and make a great team to watch in action. Also, Melissa Joan Hart is the voice of TJ's sister in the film, which is just wonderful! Suitability: The film has a certificate of U (universal), which I think is great.

Premium Review Recess - School's Out (DVD): June July and August (818 words)

Ask any sensible kid what the best part of school is and they’ll tell you ... ‘June July and August’. Summer holidays, that’s what we live for. It may not seem to be the case right now when the ankle biters have been proclaiming ‘I’m bored’ non stop for the last three weeks, but that’s not how I remember the summer vacations of my youth. Thinking back I can rarely remember a boring day, or for that matter a rainy one. My school summer holiday memories revolve around sunny days spent out playing football, rounders, rally 123 and British bulldog, or out climbing trees and riding my bike. Imagine if ...  Read the complete review
