Suppose They Gave a War and Nobody Came?
Fantastic all star cast. Lots of laughs. It starts a little slow, doesn't have much of a plot but is entertaining. The war is between the local Army base and the local sheriff.

Wrong Region
This was one of the Movies that I could not play on my TV as it was the wrong Region. Also the Ronald Reagan,but have viewed them on my Computer. But it is not quite the same, as viewing on the TV. So how do I know before purchasing any DVD's if they are suitable for Australian viewing?
