     B.O.B.’s Big Break is pretty funny and pretty good.  All 13 minutes of it.  Shrek 3-D is pretty irritating for 16 minutes.  And now both come packaged together in a DVD release from Paramount Home Entertainment on March 23rd, for some reason.  This DVD set is a vertiable orgy of excess packaging.  The two films combine for a total of 29 minutes of average entertainment, and each one gets its own individual DVD case.  So it will take up a big chunk of your shelf space.

     Both DVDs come with four sets of those cardboard 3-D glasses that look so silly on your face.  Which means that in this package, you get two DVDs and eight sets of annoying glasses.  Which I guess would be great if you were throwing a birthday party for your six-year-old and had seven friends over.  That, and the kids would be entertained for almost a half hour.  Then I guess you could play pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey for the next four hours.  Or something.  That is, unless you already have Monsters Vs. Aliens, which comes with B.O.B.’s Big Break, or Shrek 3-D as a special feature somewhere else.
