Real Life

Before "Survivor" and before "The Real World," Writer/Director Albert Brooks came up with Real Life. This was Brooks' first film and to its credit, the movie still holds up remarkably well today. Real Life is a Paramount disc so by this point most of those reading know what that means: good picture, decent sound, little in the way of extras, and one of the more expensive discs on the market. Isn't free enterprise wonderful?
