Although taken from an old bedtime story, the movie leaves the original conceit about a young chicken basically crying wolf in the dirt and amps up the storyline with a V-8 engine on steroids.

After a few lackluster releases, this new pair of stories – which also includes “The Asparagus of La Mancha" -- may be less ambitious than the previous “Lord of the Beans” DVD, but it’s a much more satisfying effort.

It is also another DVD that is being recycled by the lovely people at Disney. The film originally came out in 1999 and we can only assume that this “Little Black Book Edition” was initiated because of the recent release of the sequel, “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.” Let me point out that the sequel bombed and that it was directed by Mike Bigelow, who most people in the industry know doesn’t exist. In other words, they made the name up because the movie was so bad the real director didn’t want the credit. But let’s talk about the first film in this growing franchise.

Though supposed to be in the same vein as “Hoop Dreams,” this film lacks the dramatic flair of its predecessor.

A somewhat charming and emotionally satisfying, if overly simplistic, film from 2000, this so-called director’s cut is so close to the theatrical version that it really seems as though Disney is simply repackaging the film so they can sell more DVDs – not that Disney has ever been above that sort of thing.
