    When I'd originally placed this order, I had accidentally put in the wrong shipping address. However, the seller was more than helpful, and the CD arrived!! The packaging was wide open when it arrived, but luckily nothing was damaged. Additionally, there was nothing protective on the CD, so that open package made me feel kind of nervous. Otherwise, absolutely great! The customer service was awesome, and the product was as described.

    Item was lost in delivery- but after some communication, seller was understanding and provided a refund. I ordered another and had it sent elsewhere. My main issue was that it felt as if I was getting automated responses at first!! Please have humans review human inquiries!! It was painstaking explaining the situation to an A.I. who only repeats unhelpful replies. Thanks again!! Otherwise. Great price! Great seller!

    Although I received the incorrect book with my order (that had a title close to what I had ordered), AlibrisBooks apologized, said they could not re-send the book, and refunded my money and told me to keep the book that I had received, and either donate it or give it away, so I gave it to someone. That was very kind on their part to do that, and I would highly recommend them. Mistakes happen I get that.

    Old favorite, but as fresh as ever

    Mr. Demme left us far too soon. This comic gem, from 37 years ago (!), yielded two Oscar wins and revealed an already accomplished director. We were blessed to have such a talent in the rough-and-tumble world of films.

    Steenburgen shines bright in this funny

    It told Melvin DuMar's story in a humorous way. Once again as usual nudity is irrelevant to the story line and is unnecessary. Mary Steenburgen is the real star of this film. DVD played with no problems.

  • It's a long way to Philadelphia

    It's a long way to Philadelphia. I bought this movie because it was so acclaimed and it was done by Demme, artist of masterpiece, Philadelphia. Except as a the early exercise in his quest toward superior filmmaking, it doesn't resemble the compelling story, conclusion or ride that Philadelphia did.
