Got it - so lots of silence, or no real technical conversation, not funny?

It just isn't good. Mark Harmon is a nice guy, I'm sure, but he's dull. Carl Reiner was a comedy legend, but he doesn't have a whole lot of interesting stories to tell. This track definitely needed a moderator.

I was so excited to hear them talk about this movie when I bought the special edition DVD years ago; I've loved the movie since I went to see it in 1987.

I was going to say, for anyone that doesn't know, that commentary track was recorded 15 years ago, in 2007 for the 20th anniversary Life's a Beach edition DVD. Shout Factory is usually good at adding new features to their releases so I'm surprised that the only new feature here is an interview with Richard Steven Horvitz. Everything else is from the 2007 DVD release. Kind of disappointing.

I'm just glad the movie has finally been released.

I am too. I just thought they might get more of the cast to participate.
