Outside the Knox (2006 Video) User Reviews

Educational? No. Funny? Yes!

If you watch this video thinking that you're going to get a proper inside look on how Robert Benfer makes his clay animations, then you will be very disappointed. If you watch this movie thinking that it will just be 25 minutes of random comedy...Well then you will love this video! The video also includes Sammie Penrod as he struggles at downloading music), and Jason Steele who pops in every now in then to keep you updated on his grilled cheese sandwich making. You'll also see some shots of Roberts family.

So if you want to learn all about Knox, wait for the release of the KW: OTT special edition DVD...If you just want to see Knox do his thing..well..Give it a look see!

Skip It

It's Knox at his worst: when he just tries to be childish or stupid instead of funny. He tries for some effects that I suppose are supposed to be spoofs on artistic photography (Jason Steele has a long segment in grainy black and white, Robert's scenes outside are silent and blue tinted) but it just isn't entertaining. Still, even if this was any good anyway, Matt's presence in it would be the dead weight to sink the Titanic. Here's a quick opinion note for Benfer: awkward silences or slow segments are only funny when the rest of the story is fast paced (or when there IS a story) otherwise you just have tedium.

This is not is not to say "don't buy" Knox's new DVD. The other special features are good enough (especially the never-before-seen shorts) that it is worth your time. Pity Knox in person never entertains quite as well as when he has to pretend to be a klay character.
