Canadian alt-rockers Barenaked Ladies get a dynamic 10-year retrospective on this entertaining compilation. Springing from the same native soil as Mike Myers--and brimming with a similarly irreverent sense of humor--BNL are seen here in semi-jumbled chronology, evolving from home-movie primitives (their first video was financed by a Canadian arts fund) to full-blown video stars in the dazzling "One Week" clip directed by McG of Charlie's Angels fame. Thanks to endless replays in a Mitsubishi car commercial, "One Week" is BNL's most recognized hit, and the video is arguably their best to date. But with 16 others to choose from--all in glorious 5.1-channel surround--it's hard to pick a favorite (we're going with "Alternative Girlfriend," in case you're wondering). It's not all great--the concert footage is marred by muddy recording--but BNL's running commentary is as fun as their videos, and with a DVD-ROM "ReVoice" karaoke feature, you can croon "One Week" to your heart's content. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews

Barenaked Ladies - Barelaked Nadies
A must for any true BNL fan. 2/3 of the videos on this DVD I have never seen before, (they were only shown in Canada). The Live concert footage alone is worth the price of this DVD. My wife & I watched it on a Saturday night & could not believe when it was over three hours had gone by. As a record collector with over 5000 albums, 2000 45's & 3000 CD's in my collection I can assure you that you won't be sorry with this purchase.

I never had MTV - poor little me!
For all you poor folks who never had cable (including me), you now have a chance to see the BNL video treasure trove. Probably the best moments are explaining who the girl is in "Alternative Girlfriend," why John and Yoko love the Ladies and how "The Old Apartment" got made by a well-connected BNL fan. As usual, the best part (besides seeing the videos, if you haven't) is their remarks- that is, commentary - on what was going on, what the original intention was and how it (mostly) ended up in flames by the time the video got made. These guys don't take themselves seriously, but if you've followed them for the last eleven years like I have- you know that these guys are for real. Though they joke a lot, they've got something to say and aren't afraid to cross Yoko Ono. What more could you ask for?

A Must for Every BNL Fan!
If there are any BNL fans out there who still do not own a DVD player, this fantastic DVD should be all the encouragement you need to make the plunge. Anyone who loves the Ladies will love having this chronological collection of their videos. Watching the band members hanging out on a hotel room bed munching cheese curls while they comment on the videos is like hanging out with your best friends. Not only is the commentary interesting and educational, it is absolutely hilarious. The live footage is also great-- every BNL fan knows that this band shines best when they are performing live. My only "complaint," and it's a minor one, is that I wish the concert footage would have included some music that is not covered by the video segment of the DVD.
