 DO NOT BUY THIS DVD FROM AMAZON! December 16, 2008
Hardworking Man (Portland, OR USA)
I received this DVD "City Slicker's the collector's Edition"(this is what it says on the DVD case) on 12-12-08, But when I put it in my player, it was just the regular version of "City Slickers"!!!! I've ordered dozens of DVD's from Amazon the past 2 years without any problems, until, "City Slicker's collector's Edition!" I do not blame Amazon for letting this happen once, BUT, when this happens at least twice, and they continue to sell it anyway, I think that's wrong!:( If I were Amazon, I would pull all of their stock of this movie and not sell it until the problem is corrected!!! So the saying goes, "One is either a part of the solution, or a part of the problem..."
 A Definite Slicker December 15, 2008

I ordered this because it was supposed to be the Collector's Edition with Commentary, Featurettes & Deleted scenes. I received it and, while the cover states it is the Collector's Edition with the extras, it is not. So I returned it to Amazon, asking them to replace it, which they did remarkably quickly. Problem is, the replacement is exactly like the first one I received -- no commentary, no featurettes, no deleted scenes although the cover says they are there. So now I am trying to contact someone at MGM or Fox to sort this out. (Having no luck at that but I will continue to try.) I can't blame Amazon for having received mismarked packaging. I love the movie but I bought this as a replacement so I would have the extras and, alas, the extras are not there, so the rating is two stars because the product is not as advertised.
Classic Billy Crystal October 29, 2008
Ryan E. Wool (NYC, NY)
A great movie in theaters and still fun to watch. The trio of Crystal, the late Bruno Kirby and Daniel Stern is hysterical. There is also the great supporting cast with Newman from Seinfeld and don't forget about Jack Palance as the old Marlboro man Curly.
The bonus features are a nice addition to give you more insight into the cast and development of City Slickers. A great movie to have part of your collection.

I really enjoy this movie. I don't know it I will get City Slicker 2 or not. I do like Billy Crystal. It came on time as promised. Thank you Amazon. The price was good too.
Deeply Intelligent and Funny! September 25, 2008
Peter Tarique ((Brooklyn, NY United States)
"City Slickers" is a character-driven story, told with extreme charisma and truly funny, yet deep characters. It tells the tale of a man going through a mid-life crisis and how he deals with himself. Billy Crystal is Mitch, the guy going through a depressing point in his life. Daniel Stern is his best buddy Phil, a worrywart who is owned by his wife. And Bruno Kirby is Ed, his other best friend who has a lust for younger women, and a lust for outrageous and crazy adventures. Such as the bull run in the beginning of the film, or his idea for a skydive. Mitch starts to suffer greatly with his newfound mid-life crisis. Phil is caught having an affair with a grocery store clerk by his wife. Ed is...well...Ed. So on Mitch's 39th birthday, Ed and Phil reveal that they have bought Mitch a spot on a cattle run, and they're coming along, too. They'll be driving cattle just like real cowboys. Mitch is unimpressed, but his wife insists he go to relieve stress. Mitch tries to get out of it by reminding her of his promise. "I told you I was going to stay with your parents," he says. "You hate my parents," she says. So off Mitch, Phil and Ed go, out to a cattle ranch where they meet Curly (Jack Palance), a homicidal cowboy who freaks Mitch out. Laughter ensues. And after that, more laughter. The cattle drive begins, and eventually things go hay-wire. Curly dies. The two other drunk leaders flee for their lives. Mitch, Phil and Ed are left with two fat ice cream inventors (a la Ben & Jerry), and an attractive woman who Mitch cannot get near because he is married. She says hello to him. "I'm married," he replies. I watched some of "City Slickers" about four years ago and wasn't too impressed. Perhaps it was because the TV version cut everything out. This time around I absolutely adored it, it is truly one of the best comedies of the last ten (now fifteen) years. Billy Crystal is perfect as Mitch. I love his demeanor towards life, his grim outlook on things. Like the speech he gives to children in a kindergarten class. Priceless. The entire cast is excellent, and only the last ten minutes of the film fell apart a bit, in which you get a quite typical "I'm over it, I'm a hero" moment where Mitch comes to terms with himself and almost drowns saving a calf, which makes him look more like a suicidal idiot rather than someone coming to terms with himself. But the rest of the film is 100% excellent; funny is an understatement. The characters seem very real, something rare for a comedy these days. "City Slickers" is definitely one to see. If you still don't want to, I can only say one thing: "Helloooooo?!"
