"Once More With Feeling", a much needed shaft of lightness in Buffy the Vampire Slayer's dark sixth series, demonstrates that a "special" episode can be genuinely special. It preserves the show's continuity for its regular watchers and also delights people who have never experienced it before. This is creator Joss Whedon's tribute to all the masters of the stage musical whom he admires--most obviously Stephen Sondheim--and a chance for his talented cast to display their usual tight ensemble and sing and dance while doing it. The premise is typical Buffy both in its whimsy and its emotional truth--a demon forces the inhabitants of Sunnydale to express their emotions truthfully and uncovers a variety of embarrassing secrets. The actual musical ability of the Buffy cast is variable--Amber Benson as Tara and Anthony Stewart Head as Giles are perhaps the only ones with enough musical talent to carry purely lyrical tunes, but Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy is a game little trooper who delivers her various patter songs with her usual efficiency and charm. Emma Caulfield as the ex-demon Anya is the big surprise, her short paranoid riff on the subject of that ultimate evil, bunny rabbits is quite extraordinary; Broadway hoofer Hinton Battle is fabulous as Sweet: "I can bring whole cities to ruin and find time to get some soft shoe in." --Roz Kaveney Customer reviews:  yeah baby yeah , 2007-02-15
if your a fan of musicals like grease and high school the musical lol ???
you will love this, all the songs are really catchy, ive seen this a few times and i sing along every time its really enjoyable to watch. But if you are a buffy fan you might as well buy the series instead of this dvd on its own?
good watch, good watch
 Great episode, But why not buy the whole season?, 2006-08-08
Check out buying the whole season. Especially now that there's a new edition of Buffy season6, and it's price is lower than before (All 22 episodes for approximately twice the price of this DVD that contains only one episode).
The episode is excellent - but it's helps to see the episodes before it to understand what they're singing about, and it's fascinating to see how the various revelations tie in to what happens in the rest of the season
