It is as interesting and informative as you would expect a commentary by two actors and directors of a film. A lot of little details is pointed out that I missed watching the film. And a number of their comments made me appreciate what was happening in the film as well. Not particularly humorous, but a lot of amusing anecdotes are brought up. Often regarding the real stories behind what some scenes were based on.

After I posted my commentary review, I read a review of the film by one of my favorite critics, Walter Chaw, who specifically mentions the commentary track, and it feels appropriate to paste it here.

"Where the film works mainly as a character study, the commentary functions remarkably well as an examination of fame. Aside from the commentary for The Blair Witch Project, this is the first time I have listened to a yak-track that actually changes the tenor and thrust of the film upon which it comments. It is fascinating."
