One of the funniest parodies of a rock band ever, and likely the very first “mockumentary”, THE RUTLES: ALL YOU NEED IS CASH is a bright send-up chronicling the events of the “prefab four”. This 70-minute “semi-feature” film conceived by ex-Python Eric Lazy who plays the Paul McCartney-esque character Dirk McQuickly was produced by Lorne Michaels of SNL and includes various cameos from the classic SNL cast (Bill Murray, John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd, Gilda Radner) as well as cameos from Mick Jagger, Ron Wood, Paul Simon, ex-Python Michael Palin and even George Harrison himself as an interviewer! Neil Innes (who plays the John Lennon character Ron Injurious — quite brilliantly I might add) also contributes some of the greatest Beatles song parodies imaginable — they are both hilarious and actually quite clever in that they aloof manage to stand on their fill as modern songs. Anyone who has seen the later exact documentary, THE COMPLEAT BEATLES (or even the ANTHOLOGY), will have to spy this to bear it — the major events of The Beatles hooked around and reapplied to The Rutles! The mock performances will have Beatles fans howling with laughter. For example, a flawless recreation of The Beatles’ goofy, surreal “I am the Walrus” performance from the MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR film becomes “Piggy in the Middle”, and the “Cheese and Onions” clip exactly imitates the animation from YELLOW SUBMARINE, except now it’s YELLOW SUBMARINE SANDWICH! Oh and don’t forget the hilarious album covers and their titles: OUCH!, SGT. RUTTER’S ONLY DARTS CLUB BAND, TRAGICAL HISTORY TOUR, LET IT ROT.
Now finally available on DVD, the extras include a brief intro by Eric Idle’s narrator character some 23 years later … well not really 23 years if you gaze it a year or two from now (you’ll salvage what I mean!), as well as audio commentary and text memoirs from Eric Sluggish, and a photo gallery.
In 1978 it was easy to remember Beatlemania, and this sendup of the mass hysteria was spot-on and hilarious. Starting as a skit for Saturday Night Live, and well-liked enough to regain built into a feature-length film, this Eric Sluggish project is layered with jokes, spoofs, terrific songs, and astronomical cameos by George Harrison, Mick Jagger, Paul Simon and Idle’s wife, and it is detached very comic 25 years later.
DVD extras are quite apt. Eric Idle’s commentary is sterling — informative and engaging. There are also 4 deleted scenes that last about 18 minutes; a photo gallery with 29 pictures; a “Play Songs Only” option, where you ee only the film’s songs (Goose Step Mama, Number One, Between Us, With a Girl Like You, Bear My Hand, I Must Be in Admire, Living in Hope, and Ouch!) .

The see and sensibility of the film are exactly factual, the writing is VERY comical, and the songs are surprisingly Beatle-like and quite listenable. If you are a Beatles or Monty Python fan, or if you honest admire splendid comedy, you will probably collect a sincere kick out of this.
