Here we go again with the 1 disc and 2 discs. I mean it's necessary to use it with big movies Spider man ect. But even with low budget films like Alien vs. predator 2 and Water horse? It's unnecessary.
I regret not seeing this movie in theaters as Denzel is my favorite actor. I just bought the 3-disc American Gangster edition, maybe I'll buy this too...
This movie looked OK, I might rent it at some point. I do agree, if they want to do a 2-disc edition, they should ONLY release a 2-disc.
Too bad this movie has little to do with debate--it's really just rhetoric.
Too bad this movie doesnt get all the hyped that "white" movies get...Excellent movie should had been best pic nod...ne ways only if we leave in that kind of world

This movie had no hype because it was mediocre at best, and didn't come close to Denzel's previous directorial effort "Antwone Fisher," which was a very well recieved "black movie." Denzel was also in the far superior American Gangster in 2007, which again was a "Black Movie." Finally, it didn't recieve a best picture nod because it's in no way in the league of the Flawless There Will Be Blood, the excellent No Country For Old Men, the Great Juno, Michael Clayton, and the very good Atonement!
Missed it in the theaters. Will buy it on release day. Every critic said Denzel was at the top of his game, as always, but I also want this for Jurnee Smollett. She has blossomed into a fine, young actress....
I'll give this a rent since I missed it in theaters. My dad wanted to see it.

why do we have to bring race into this? this is a movie besides it did not have a big budget ie not enough money left to use for advertising its basic marketing skills not race. so please next time think before you type.

If one of the special features is that they change the school they debated in the movie from Harvard to USC, the actual school they debated for the championship, I'll consider buying it.

Denzel looks like he's playing God and is about to pass judgement on the other supporting actors and Forest Whitaker, on the cover art, LOL....
