My younger brother and I saw "Being There" when we were kids and loved it. Recently he mentioned a few scenes from the film and how funny they were, so I bought it for him as a Christmas gift. It was delivered early enough for Christmas, and he's already watched it twice. It has a great cast with Peter Sellers, Jack Warden, Melvyn Douglas, and Shirley Maclaine and the story is hilarious. It also has the outtakes which are very funny. Thanks for a great online shopping experience.

The movie did have a good concept, however the execution of it had been a bot more than wanting. There is a person who had been inside a 'Glass case' without any interaction with the world till he is in his forties, and then is set free in the big bad world. It almost follows what had been seen in so many stories, when an Angel or any other divine creature lands up in today's world, and the travails it has to face. But here the protagonist is human, and that takes out the fantasy element, (only that could have made the movie plausible). The lack of even the most common knowledge, the implausibility of the whole thing, makes the movie a drag.

This movie is among our favorites and the Criterion Collection DVD is the best in terms of picture quality and audio. The 2nd DVD contains interesting material that we have nave seen.

Brilliantly crafted movie. Someday someone will try to remake this movie, and they need to ask themselves if they should. This one’s perfect.
