Missed this one when it was in theaters, will give it a waive.

I liked this one. Especially the first half hour is hilarious.

They really need to change the coverart!

I agree, it annoys me too. If they have to be billed in that order, then flip the picture.

I hate the cover art. Was this even released in the UK??

movieguy85

The dated cover art makes the film look like it was released in the early-to mid-90s.

Pixarfan517

Lame cover art.

Yeh the name mix up is annoying, i just looked at the closer dvd case and that is perfect match, WHY couldn't this one get it right? I always noticed the poster(as bad as it was) at least got the names right.

jshaide

Jeez. . the DVD art is worse than the poster art. And the poster art looked like bad DVD art to begin with.

I don't understand 2 things....1- Why the hell don't they just add those two featurette's on the BD to the DVD as well. It's quite frankly unfair and stupid that those still without a BD player don't get a couple of featurette's. Especially considering how well this film did at the boxoffice. 2. Why didn't they keep the theatrical poster for the coverart?! I mean the actual cover isn't bad, but this was supposed to be easy.

palpy

Wow! This is probably the worst DVD artwork I have ever seen. Pretty much every example one would ever use to constitute bad DVD artwork is featured somewhere on this cover. From the mismatched names, to the tacky screenshots, or the critic quote from some critic I've never heard of, or even the bad two shot. Hell, even seeing "A Rob Reiner Film" is enough. All that's missing is floating heads. Congratulations, Warner bros.! You've outdone yourselves!

I agree about Bucket List, it's a dump on film, but I'm interested in Reservation Road.

Reservation Road sucked. To elaborate more on that would reveal too much. What I can say is that it plays out like a melodramatic Lifetime movie for men. Even though it's got a pretty good cast, it's not saved by them. Anyway, Bucket List was an okay movie though.

I burned a Reservation Road DVD-Rip a few weeks ago so I might aswell check it out for Phoenix and Ruffalo, there aren't a lot of positive reviews out there but whatever.

Edgeman05

Loved this movie... c**ppy cover art. Would have prefered the poster in the background with them laughing.

Oh well

bollasio1313

Why wouldn't that cover art be official?

Lions for Lambs was very good in my opinion.

bobbywatson

Yes, indeed.

Amen. Since childhood, brother.

Also, pretty good flick, I was surprised. Very cliche, but still enjoyable. The critics were too harsh on this if you ask me.

That cover art's probably not official, anyway.

thepegsdave

I know "The Bucket List" has been getting pretty mixed reviews, but i'll get the BD anyway.

acrophobe

hmph

that's funny

i thought these two would have already made enough money that they didn't have to do any more bulls**t feel-good dramedies filled with life lessons.

Dustin P,

As usual with Warner Bros., the special features aren't anything special at all. Didn't see this movie and don't plan to get it on DVD.

mc_serenity

I heard the DVD is going to be YET another WB widescreen/foolscreen dual-sided disc. The film did well domestically ($91 million domestic to its production cost of $45 million), so I am at a loss to this decision by Warners.

With Blu-ray being the dominant format now (and with widescreen TVs getting more and more cheaper), Warners should just make widescreen-only releases from now on.

What? No double-disc "Chemo-Edition?"

sec127

it just has to do with who has first billing. Jack had first, so therefore it has to be listed first, no matter who's face is under the name.
