I have it and I like it overall.
For me, the positives: I feel elongated afterward, and it BURNS the butt and thighs.
The negatives: Not much of a "cardio" workout as my HR doesn't raise much and I don't sweat, there's LOTs of reps which can get boring, and the upper body weight work is nice for toning but not for strength.
I haven't tried the bonus sections on the dvd so I can't speak about them.

kariev - I have Ultimate Cardio Barre Advanced and I love it. I actually do get a nice cardio workout from it. I find it more advanced than Physique 57 although Physique 57 might have a bit more upper body work (more pushups). The Power Thighs bonus workout (14 mins.) is worth the DVD. I do that one quite often and your glutes will be burning afterwards. But you will need more of a stretch at the end since they really only do one quick stretch. There is also a 14-min. Power Arms bonus workout but its very tricep-intense. They do all kinds of work on different planes - standing, seated, lying, etc.
