I am not much for Television, I got enough work to do reviewing movies and watching them takes up most of my time everyday so I feel bad but I must admit until I received this DVD for review I had never heard of Terry Fator. Sadly the world hadn't either until he appeared on America’s Got Talent in 2007 but he instantly won the hearts of both the panel of judges and the entire panel of voters, the people around the world. I never been to any of his shows but from what I hear this DVD is the same as his Mirage act so if you never had the chance to see him live either this is a great substitute. I love Jeff Dunham who I am sure everyone knows but Terry takes the whole ventriloquist thing and cranks it up another three levels. I was blown away not only by him and his dummies but by his amazing voice, this guy is has a voice made in heaven. The dummies he has are a great mix, you have, Winston “The Impersonating Turtle”,“The Lovely” Emma Taylor,Walter T. Airedale “The Country Man”,Julius “The Soul Singer”,Maynard Tompkins “The Elvis Impersonator” and Dougie Scott Walker “The Rocker” his annoying neighbor. Each one of these characters come with their own personality(provided by Mr. Fator) and one is funnier than the other. One of the highlighs of the show is when Fator makes a male from the audience come up on stage and Terry transforms him into a Cher puppet (dress and all). They then duet on I got you babe. I was rolling on the floor laughing at this it was so funny. I am not going to go into any more details on the show but what I can tell you is that this is total entertainment that you will enjoy over and over again. This is the must own DVD of the year. I have watched this with my daughter 4 times already and she is asking for me to watch it again so that tells you a lot about this amazing talent and just how much fun his shows are. The DVD comes with Special Features that include:
Audio Commentary with Terry, writer Rick Kerns and director Mark Goffman
Audio commentary: Terry’s puppets take over!
Chapter 1 from Terry’s autobiography Who’s The Dummy Now?
