Lady Fishbourne's Complete Guide to Better Table Manners Audience Reviews

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
MartinHafer I have seen quite a few films sponsored by The National Film Board of Canada that are trying to teach some important lesson. Unfortunately, most of them are pretty boring and preachy. In light of this, I was thrilled when I say this film about proper table etiquette.The film is narrated by a stodgy sounding lady who is very proper and explains lessons about proper behavior during a dinner party. However, at the same time, grotesquely drawn characters act out what she is saying in a very funny manner. Some of their actions are very vulgar but too often they take the message too literally. It's all very tongue-in-cheek and works very well--especially since kids watching this fun cartoon will actually learn not to be total slobs. So, they learn something AND have a good laugh--now that's very clever!
LeRoyMarko Fun short film about etiquette at the diner table. But etiquette is explain in a very special way! Hilarious: the bird in the sandwich (too bad! you can't attract attention even if there's a problem with the food!) Hilarious also is the voice of the lady giving us this lesson of good manners.Out of 100, I gave it 74. That's good for **½ out of ****.Seen at home, in Toronto, on January 3rd, 2003.
