	DVDFILE.COM: The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch Review
		The idea of Idle - one of the founding members of the ubiquitous Monty Python troupe - lampooning the most famous rock and roll band in the history of the solar system seems to be a slam dunk.
		Not so much a sequel, but a "recollection" of the Rutles' success (think of it as the goofball equivalent to The Beatles Anthology), this often-unbearable comedy is a ghost of its earlier incarnation.
		George made a notable cameo in the first Rutles film, but this new mockumentary showcases the undeniable loss of magic in the aftermath of John Lennon's and George Harrison's deaths.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "The Rutles"
		Taking the Spinal Tap mock-rock-umentary formula, Eric grafted it in his secret lab onto the history of the aforementioned Beatles, and a creature the likes of which the world had never seen was born...
		Unlike Spinal Tap, The Rutles is shot in retrospective, mirroring the story of the Beatles practically step for step, but seen through the darkly warped Pythian mind of Eric Idle.
		Narrator: It was a bombshell for the Rutles.

	The Rutles - Biography - AOL Music
		With the exception of Idle, each of the four Rutles played their own instruments on the recording in addition to acting in the film.
		To complete the gag, the Rutles reconvened in 1996 to record a second album, Archeology, to coincide with the Beatles' Anthology projects.
		Masquerading as archival material, most of Archeology was in fact newly recorded in the mid-'90s, and was as witty and well-executed as the soundtrack to their TV special nearly 20 years ago.

		Since the Rutles never properly existed in the first place, they were free of the high expectations surrounding the "reunions" of groups with a higher profile (such as the prime targets of their satire, the Beatles).
		Short of a reunion and tour by the Rutles, this DVD is the deepest and widest-ranging experience of the group that any fan is likely to see.
		The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash pre-dated This Is Spinal Tap by many years, and broke so much new ground in comedy and television feature production that it's virtually a creation unto itself.

	The Rutles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Over the years, The Rutles have evolved from a fictitious band into a true band in their own right, playing Rutles favourites and songs from Neil Innes' solo albums.
		The reunion was triggered by Innes' appearance at the Los Angeles festival "Monty Python: Lust For Glory!", celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Monty Python troupe produced by Martin Lewis for the American Cinematheque.
		Shortly after the Rutles film and LP were released, Eric Idle and Rikki Fataar released a novelty single, "Ging Gang Goolie"/"Mister Sheene", under the name Dirk and Stig.

	Tea With the Rutles
		The Rutles went on to be a legend in their own lunchtime but things started badly when they started their own business, Rutle Corps.
		In Rutles mythology, the 'Archaeology' album consists of disinterred tapes of the group's abandoned last album - which had been buried in a time capsule.
		Original '4th Rutle' - guitarist/singer Ollie Halsall, who was the key fourth musician in the recording of the original album, passed away tragically at the age of 43 - in 1992.

	The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch (2002)
		Now I haven't seen Eric Idle's original film, but my guess would be that Rutles 2 is mining the same territory, or more specifically the same footage, that made up the original.
		The Rutles lovingly recreate, shot-by-shot, famous Beatles footage from the landing at JFK in New York for the first time, to scenes from A Hard Day's Rut, to the costumes of the "Tragical History Tour".
		The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch is an affectionate and silly ode to the glory of the Beatles as a cultural and pop phenomenon.

		In addition, the rhythmic configurations in the Rutles rhythm section are lifted directly off the beatles model: the Rutles constant eighth-note strums in the rhythm guitar and walking quarter notes in the bass create a direct reference.
		Thus the Rutles progression can be seen as a conflation of the two Beatles version it employs both IV and the harmonic synonym for iv, bVI, and the harmonic rhythm of one chord per measure which occurs at iv - as is referenced by the IV - bVI movement.
		Since some part of the intraopus style/structures of the three Beatles songs is incorporated into the Rutles tune, adding a third dimension to my diagram would allow me to arrange the three Beatles numbers around the Rutles one such that they all intersect with it but not with each other.

		The first inkling the public had that there would soon be new Rutles music was provided in a tantalizing full page advertisement in the program booklet for Los Angeles Beatlefest '96.
		Spirits soared in the auditorium as hundreds of fans together listened to the first new Rutles song to be heard in almost 20 years.
		This was followed by numerous mentions in both the trade press (Variety, Billboard Magazine) and the popular press covering the soon-to-be-issued new album from The Rutles.

		The Rutles' world-wide smash, "Hold My Hand" was answered by the Beatles with "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," "Please Please Me," "She Loves You," and "All My Loving." Such was the influence of the Rutles.
		Throughout their career, the Rutles were always at the head of the curb, belatedly followed by the Beatles who copied their every move.
		Okay, okay, the Rutles are actually ex-Bonzo Dog Band member Neil Innes along with other musicians, but these guys have put together a collection of drop-dead parodies that are done with charm and reverence for the originals.

	Post-Python@PythoNET
		THE RUTLES, Eric Idle and Neil Innes' affectionate send-up of The Beatles, began as a sketch on Eric Idle's tv show Rutland Weekend Television, with music by Neil Innes.
		And Eric shot a new documentary, entitled "Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch," in which he shows unused footage from the original film, and interviews a whole lot of celebrities (David Bowie, Steve Martin, Tom Hanks) about their own Rutle memories.
		In the normal version of the film, Eric asks him "What's it like to be such an asshole?" But when the film originally aired on NBC in 1976, Eric couldn't say that word on television, so a much longer version of the scene was shot, with a new punchline.

		While the first album by the Rutles chronicled, lyrically and musically, the Beatles pop-through-psychedelic styles (and as a result was built on re-workings of the songs - ie.

		Written and directed by Eric Idle, Rutles 2 is the sequel to All You Need is Cash and, like the original, it is a parody of the myriad documentaries made about the Beatles.

		Eric Idle, noted Rutle historian, discusses the film, the Rutles, and of course, their trousers.
		The Rutles take center stage, and, with a flick of his wrist, Dirk McQuickly spins the famous dartboard, which transforms to become the Rutles' classic pre-tea drum kit.
		Four stars, each representing both a Rutle and a menu option, appear around the drums, and thus, our Main Menu Screen is, as they say, complete.

	The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch (2002)
		It’s funny - when I was a kid and obsessed with the Beatles, I was dying to check it out, but as an adult who could pick up the thing at a local retailer, I never got around to it.
		That’s not good, and it makes The Rutles 2: Can’t Buy Me Lunch come across more like a vanity project meant to be seen by a few friends than something intended for the mass public.
		The Rutles 2: Can’t Buy Me Lunch appears in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on this single-sided, single-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		Rutles 2 isn't really a sequel, because it retells the exact same career-arc story that the original Rutles told.
		I mean, in some sequences, you camouflage the repurposing of old footage by cutting away as soon as the Rutles are about to sing.
		The original Rutles TV special, All You Need Is Cash, was one of the lowest-rated programs of the week when it aired in 1978.

		THE RUTLES is a hilarious send-up of the myth and reality--mostly the myth--of the Beatles.
		Critics deemed Neil LaBute's remake of the 1973 cult classic something less than fresh during its theatrical run, but perhaps Nicolas Cage running through the jungle in a bear suit is something better suited to the small screen.
