Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I do enjoy a documentary on car reviews, but I didn't enjoy this one. While they pointed out a few bad to awful products from different manufacturers, they spent a lot of time praising some selected models. I would have liked to see them rank the bad cars from bad to worse - it didn't happen. Maybe it was the format that was had for me to understand: "This car is really bad, here's why. And then they move on to another." I agree with them on 2 of the designated "bombs," but their worst car, I can't believe. Shame on them for showing us how most anyone can steal a collector car at the end. Watching this ended up being a waste of time, and money - I did not get what I paid for.

By far the best of the "Christmas DVDs" Clarkson made lately. Little bit of top gear, little bit over the top, but May's presence made it better as Clarkson didn't push his metaphors beyond threshold of pain. (ie.: no Indian F1 driver, no ice skates/flippers, no diy rockets and so on...]) It is nothing as brilliant as Top Gear's F430-Zonda-GT, Carrera GT or SLR reviews, but it is nowhere as bad as the James Bond, Indian, Middle East specials. The mix of both presenters make the video nicely presented without either presenter nagging on for slightly too long and personally I like when May and Clarkson agree on the big things. As usual some nerds may get offended by remarks about Ford GT, Escort Cosworth and F50. ...and Panda gets crushed!!! I wasn't too keen on their view of X3 - which I think made a huge improvement from the last generation. (and everyone by now knows that BMW's idea of off-road is broken pavement or small curb)All in all, I was pleasantly surprised.

I watched this expecting just over an hour of hilarious, and occasionally fascinating material from the Top Gear lads. And it delivered. Rather disappointing, Hammond was absent from the DVD, but Clarkson and May stepped up and delivered a brilliant DVD. We begin with as you'd imagine, some old, cheap cars that no one has ever heard of. At this point I was fearing the entire DVD would just be cheap cars of the past, but thankfully it changed. They explain that the worst car would be one that fails to deliver what is expected of it. And so the search begins. There were a couple of parts that were slightly disappointing, such as when they compared to 1970 American cars to a modern BMW, since they outcome was so predictable, yet it dragged on for 10 minutes. But other than this, the rest was brilliant, and well worth the money.

Being an avid viewer of Top Gear, this film is just another episode, and not a good one at that! Only Clarkson & May, which is a little benefit. This DVD is being sold as a 'Special' Top Gear, take it from me, there is nothing special about this DVD, all of the BBC TV versions are better! Do Not waste your money! The TV specials are so much better, this is just a yearly offering from Clarkson (most of his Xmas stocking filler video's are rubbish, all made on the back of 'Top Gears' success)This time with the backing of Top Gear and with James May. The cars reviewed are not as bad as the story line or the Presenters trying to steal your Xmas cash! Avoid at all costs!
