The Pre-Fab Four are back, and severely earnest television journalist S.J. Krammerhead (Eric Idle) is hot on their story once again in The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch. A welcome sequel to Monty Python star Idle's 1978 mockumentary The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash, Can't Buy Me Lunch looks back on the mythical Liverpool quartet's long and winding road. Meet anew the group's caustic leader Ron Nasty (Neil Innes), cute bassist Dirk McQuickley (Idle), quiet guitarist Stig O'Hara (Rikki Fataar), and lovable drummer Barry Womble (John Halsey) as they sprint from the Cavern Club through "A Hard Day's Rut," "Tragical History Tour" and beyond. Krammerhead combines new celebrity interviews (Conan O'Brien, Tom Hanks, Bonnie Raitt) with re-edited footage and outtakes from the first film, and while the result isn't as sharp or urgent as Idle's original parody, Can't Buy Me Lunch has many funny moments and good inside jokes for Beatles enthusiasts. --Tom Keogh

It seems to me a lot of the people here who have posted reviews essentially missed the main satirical target(s) of Idle's obviously shameless retread of "The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash." Remember when BEATLES 1 came out back at the beginning of the decade and in the wake of its release several of US networks were putting out hastily-assembled mini-documentaries about the group with interviews by every celeb under the sun (even those who have no connection to music) with the same old regurgitated ...

Essentially a rehash of the original "All You Need is Cash" with recycled footage and bits. Stick with the original and let this one pass. It would appear from the lack of effort, that this one really ought to have been titled "All You Need is Cash" because apparently someone needs money: don't contribute yours.

I loved the original when it came out and bought the DVD immediately after its release. This one seems to be the out takes of the original with new interviews.
Amusing but not that funny. I found myself wondering when it was going to end.

This version takes much of the musical footage from the first special and intersperses it with less imaginative, less pertinent, unamusing interview footage. The only reasons to watch this version include (a) you've never seen the original special and can't get hold of it; (b) you care more about James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Steve Martin, Garry Shandling, Conan O'Brien, and other currently-prominent stars than you do about the narrative and parodic coherence of the original version; or (c) you're a completist ...

Idle's DVD has received quite a bashing, partly because it's a lesser semi-retread of the first, but perhaps also a result of karma, given the tumultuous history with Idle and (or rather towards) Innes. That he chose not to include footage from the actual (Idle-less) 1996 reunion sessions is a gaping oversight. (Songs from those sessions, however, are used here.)
That said, what this DVD does have is A) various celebrity soundbites, many of which are pretty humorous (depending on how well you like ... Read More
