Special DVD Review
"Here Comes the Clown"
Usually we have some idea of a DVD's contents before we view it...but with this one we had no idea what to expect. Well, we were pleasantly surprised to find a unique type of entertainment for kida and adults alike.
The DVD stars Boswick the Clown and his little waddling sidekick, Phoebe. Boswick gets up in the morning, but cannot remember that he has a show to do at noon. So, he goes on with his daily activities, and has fun scuba diving in his bathtub, getting dressed, shaving, having breakfast with an endless stream of milk...but he still can't remember what he's supposed to do. Even juggling doesn't help jog his memory. He dances, and even falls asleep! Pat in the Hat even calls to remind him about the show, but he cannot hear what he's saying. Day dreaming about a clown family gathering also doesn't help. But then he sees a sign while walking outside, that reminds him of where he has to be. After his car runs out of gas, and arriving at the wrong theater, Boswick finally arrives to perform his clown show.
MyParenTime.com recommends this DVD -- Boswick has a unique style that combines slapstick comedy with child-like humor. The settings are colorful and inviting, and the use of sound effects add a lot to each scene. Phoebe the Duck is so cute, but we think she deserves more lines :). The DVD includes extras such as bloopers, and coloring pages to print out on computer. Both children and parents will enjoy having a front-row seat to their very own clown show.
