Saturday Night Live the Best of Molly Shannon Dvd Review

Vincent Gioia
Molly Shannon was another talent, that helped lift Saturday Night Live out of the bad boy era. She brought SNL alot of crazy, and edgy characters that have gained fame. In this dvd you will get to see almost all of them.

Scenes

Mary Katherine Gallagher- A good way to open the dvd up, with Molly's best character auditioning for a role. I give it a 7/10

Pretty Living- Molly is Helen Madden on a talk show with Matthew Broderick. I give this a 4/10

Courtney Love Show- A funny skit with Molly as a trashy Courtney. I give it a 8/10

Weekend Update- Molly is Elisabeth Taylor, who cant even read the numbers for the lottery. I give it a 8/10

Retirement Home- Molly is Jeana Darcy, a bad comic who makes senior citizens either sleep or die from bad jokes. I give it a 7/10

Monica Lewinsky- A short scene with Molly as Monica at trial, with Hillary Clinton looking on. I give it a 7/10

Rockettes- Molly is Sally O Malley trying to audition for the Rockettes. Danny Devito makes this funny as well. I give it a 8/10

Veronica Co- This is the weakest scene on here, with Val Kilmer in it. I give it a 3/10

Delicious Dish- This is the infamous scene with Ana Gasteyer and Molly as radio host, interviewing Alec Baldwin about his "Schwetty Balls". This is the best scene on here. I give it a perfect rating

Leg Up- Molly is Ann Miller, and Cheri Oteri is Debby Reynolds, who are interviewing Frank Sinatra (Phil Hartman). I give this a 8/10

FANactic- Ben Stiller plays as a crazed fan, who wants to meet Anna Nicole Smith played by Molly. I give it a 8/10

Mary Katherine Gallagher- Mary meets Tina Turner and wants to sing with her. Alec Baldwin also makes this scene funny. I give it a 7/10

Rae Murphy- Molly and Will Ferrell are on a awkward blindate, at a Airport. This wasn't the best scene to close it out with. I give it a 5/10

Extras

Dress Sketch- A funny sketch with Bill Paxton dating a very odd and crazy Molly Shannon, who is meeting her parents. I give it a 7/10

Photo Gallery- Snapshots of Molly's characters

Outtakes- These are some funny outtakes that clocks in at 3 minutes.

TV Conan- Molly talks about her first celebrity imitation, which was Courtney Love. Then how Courtney was in attendance, and wanted to go after her. The she talks about going from New York to LA. Then her interesting encounter with Gary Coleman.

TV Conan- Molly and Will Ferrell appear on the show. Molly talks about dating and new characters on SNL.

The only con was a lack of great material. Molly had great talent, and most of the scenes on here are good, but were not great. This is the only complaint I have is a lack of great material.

Overall this is still a good dvd. There are some scenes on here that I really liked, and the extras were good. For Molly Shannon fans, this is worth to buy. For SNL fans, I think if this was on sale, then it would a great pick up.
