Summary: Spinal Tap Meets The Polka Culture INGENIUS COMEDY HERE
Comment: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Not 5, but 10 stars for this one! Just as hysterically funny today as it was in the 80's. It's a mockumentary about 2 "famous" polka musicians, and their band and associates. Rick Moranis is incredibly funny in this (as The Shmenges lead singer), as are the rest of the cast. I wish that someone would release a collection of all of The Shmenge Brothers SCTV Skits - I'd pay top dollar for that! Also there needs to be a DVD/re-release/distribution of "The Last Polka". CABBAGE ROLLS AND COFFEE, ANYONE? MMM MMM Good!

Comment: If you love John Candy and Eugene Levy this is the movie for you. I am a fan of both of these guys, and this movie is a classic. It is a must own for Levy and Candy fans

Summary: Sheer Comedy Genius!
Comment: I'd heard about this little gem for years and finally got my hands on a copy. Thank you, God!!! Once I got over the shock of seeing Eugene Levy and John Candy actually playing their accordian and clarinet, the even bigger shock was that they're actually playing VERY WELL! I grew up with polka-loving parents in a polka loving-town, and even though I personally don't care for polka, I know the good stuff when I hear it, and they're GOOD The Real Deal! Even better is the comedy - who else but that madcap duo from SCTV would even think of doing Michael Jackson's "Beat It" as a polka? ROTFLOL! I can't wait for the rest of the SCTV DVD's with the Schmenge's "Star Wars" polka rendition! The bit about the "raisin suprise" dough balls had the whole family doubled over in eye-watering laughter, as I have a cousin we not-so-affectionately called "Doughball." (Guess you had to be there to get the full effect!)If you appreciate great comedy, do whatever you have to to get a copy of this wildy hilarious, classic comedy masterpiece! Cabbage rolls and coffee... mmm, mmm, good!!!

Summary: Delightful satire
Comment: The Last Polka owes much of owes a "documentary" style not only to "The Last Waltz" but also "The Compleat Beatles". However, the humor is pure SCTV and it will delight anyone unwillingly exposed to polka music and/or the Lawrence Welk show. Like everyone, I wish HBO would re-release this small gem, preferably in a DVD format. I need to hear the Lemon Twins!
