Rating:  - Great Product
Excellent addition to the book.Adds a step-by-step process to the mechanics discussed in Field's handbook.In additions answers the question, "What the heck does Syd Field look like?"Professionally produced, well worth the money.
Rating:  - NO WAY MAN
Syd Field is probably the fakest person in the industry!As far as I know he's never actually written a produced screenplay.I'm represented by a William Morris agent and Syd Field's lessons and references got me laughed at when I first approached getting an agent.
Buy The Screenwriter's Bible by David Trottier.He actually has his name on several products in the business and is also the book that my agent introduced me to.

Rating: - GREAT SCREENWRITING WORKSHOP!!!
This is an excellent workshop that is worth the money.If you take the time to review and do the lessons, you will get better at screenwriting.I disagree with the one reviewer who got nothing out of the DVD.There are exercises that may seem simple at first but in fact offer subtle yet significant learning experiences.And I'm sure if Syd really wanted to write a story that he believed in, he would.He loves teaching obviously.
