A farm pup that longs for the day she will become a genuine sheepdog attempts to prove herself to her demanding master while contending with some particularly troublesome rams in this family friendly tale from director Richard Overall. Mist was born one of three tiny pups on the serine grounds of Borough Farm. From the moment she was born Mist longed for the day she could help her master round up the sheep, but as her training gets underway it seems that this ambitious pup can't do anything right; every time Mist tries to impress her master, she is scolded and punished. Now, before Mist earns her prized spot amidst the sheepdogs at Borough Farm, she will first have to learn to contend with the curmudgeonly rams and understand why her auntie doesn't always seem to have her best interests at heart. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

This compendium of material from the BBC sketch comedy program French & Saunders pokes fun at everything from Baywatch and the Batman franchise to Björk and Ingmar Bergman, stopping along the way to mock British tennis players and postcolonial biddies. Most of the material dates from the early to mid-'90s; all of it features future Absolutely Fabulous writer/actress Jennifer Saunders and Vicar of Dibley star Dawn French, who parody pop culture figures (Liam Neeson and Mel Gibson in a faux Braveheart/Rob Roy crossover) and inhabit their usual assortment of original characters. Guest players include supermodel Kate Moss and singer/actress/celebrity wife Patsy Kensit. The title refers to the duo's parody of Madonna's Truth or Dare, which, bowing to that film's British title, is called "In Bed With French & Saunders." Other French & Saunders collections include French & Saunders: At the Movies, French & Saunders: Gentlemen Prefer, and French & Saunders: The Ingenue Years. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide
