Crowe delivers some of the best commentaries around and does not disappoint with this one. He is a very engaging speaker and the track has a very conversational feel to it. His mom joins him and they talk in great detail about the autobiographical elements in the movie. This is a top notch commentary -- easily one of the best. If you're a fan of this movie, it is essential listening.

Wonderful track. One my all-time favourite films, and they fill it in beautifully with so much information about the real story behind lots of the movie's incidents, as well as on the actors and the production. Very entertaining.

Outstanding commentary--one of the best, if not the best, in my DVD collection. Listening to Crowe and his mother interact is almost as much fun as watching their doppelgangers on screen, plus their comments enlighten you about almost every single scene and certainly all the major ones. Insights about plot points, actor performances, and most interesting of all details about the autobiographical reality that lay behind the making of the movie.

The only way I see that this commentary could've been better had we heard the likes of Jason Lee, who, if you've ever heard on a commentary, is pretty awesome. Although not much of a fan of Kate Hudson, I probably would've liked to hear her chime in on this one as well, as we know she was the true star of this one. Otherwise this was top notch. There was very little lag time, if any at all, while Cameron and his mom poured over every scene and every detail, but not in the boring way. I was very pleased and I plan on listening to this commentary again someday.
