The Hangover (US - DVD R1 | BD)
Warner Home Video has announced a new Extreme Edition of the hit comedy
Title: The Hangover (IMDb)
Starring: Bradley Cooper
Released: 12th October 2010
SRP: $33.92 (DVD)
Further Details:
Warner Home Video has announced DVD ($33.92) and Blu-ray ($35.99) editions of The Hangover: Extreme Edition for October 12th. Each will include the theatrical cut (99 mins) as well as a new 108 minute unrated cut. The rest of the details are still sketchy I'm afraid, although each edition will include a 28-page book which contains even more incriminating photos. The Blu-ray release will also include an exclusive soundtrack sampler. We've attached a trade advertisement with some early art below:

I *hated* Hot Tub Time Machine - so few laughs, I couldn't believe it. Never saw In The Loop, it's on my queue. This was funny, but I already bought the first Blu-ray edition. I'll print out the artwork for the extreme edition and put it in the case of my current edition. The new artwork seems to be the only improvement.
I dont think Ill buy this again. It was a very funny movie and definitely the second best Comedy of 2009 ("500 Days of Summer" is first), but for 28 more photos, I think I can wait till this is about $15. No hurry.
Figures, I just bought this a few weeks ago. Oh well, I'm happy with the copy I've got. I MIGHT rent this new version to see if the extended cut is worth it
Noted, apologies.
I tried to edit my previous post, but wasn't allowed for some reason.
But I wanted to clarify a lil.
Agreed Hoga, and no I haven't seen Airbender. :p
Jan, apologies for going off topic.
I only went off because it irritates me when people use critics to support THEIR viewpoint, no disrespect.

Did you like the Last Airbender and get your feelings hurt by RT? Only joking. There are plenty of reputable critics on RT. You just have to do a little research and figure out which critics those are, or which ones generally share your viewpoints. I'll admit the way they dress up the site can be lame, but their aggregation of critical responses to a movie is a valuable resource. I'm all for the subjective experience (I sometimes love movies that get terrible RT scores), but I don't think there is anything wrong with making an educated decision on what movies to spend your time and money on if you are serious about film.

You're going way off-subject.
This 'dispute' started on what the consensus was of critics on Hangover and Funny People. I pointed out that both films were pretty similarly received. You're turning it into a 'just-cause-critics-liked-it-doesnt-mean-you-have-to-like-it' discussion.

Sorry, that came off wrong.
I understand what RT is and how it works, I just don't care what their whole consensus is. Who cares what some local newspaper t**ts and fashion magazine columnists think about movies? Do I care what Shawn Edwards thinks? No. The only thing that matters is how I feel about it.

How much will the Blu-Ray be on sale for this one?
The "new" 108-minute unrated cut is exactly the same runtime as the unrated cut that was released in December. This is such a pointless double dip. Normally studios manage to fool me into re-buying movies when they do this but it won't work this time. Maybe if they release a triple dip around the time that the sequel comes out, I'll be interested, but not now.

Hangover got 78% fresh, Funny People 67% fresh (RottenTomatoes) - that's a very thin line you define on hating and praising something.

might pick this up considering I haven't already, was actually waiting for this to happen just didn't think it would be so soon. I would say this and HTTM were about equal, so I guess this means I don't have too long to wait for an (uhg) "extreme" edition of that one as well, even though I loath the over-use of the word "extreme" anymore.

Oh, God... PASS!! Already got the original Blu-ray edition, so no thanks!!
I actually ended up enjoying it. The ending sucked, however.
And the person who appeared in the ending was in "Diary of a Wimpy Kid."

Extreme Edition? What is this, Terminator 2? And I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks Hot Tub Time Machine was better than this
Agreed with most people here, In the Loop is an excellent, well crafted and sophisticated comedy. On the other hand, The Hangover is pretty entertaining, but that's pretty much it.
I actually never bought this movie. I rented it a couple of times and I will definitely get this edition.
Yeh this was far from great, but it was entertaining. Funniest movie of the year or decade? FARRRRRR from it. They need to include some of the cut scenes from the ads and trailers or the alternate takes. There was an extended elevator scene and the scene where they talk to the doctor allen comments on the nude old man, asking if his are going to look like that some day

Yup. He was obviously the best part. "did ceasar really live here"

In the Loop was, without question, both the best movie I saw last year and the funniest film I have seen in many years. I enjoyed The Hangover very much, but I have to agree with anyone that says it's overrated.

I learned a lesson those nights when the movies aired: never, ever, ever, ever listen to film critics again.
Can't help it if I like my comedies with a side of intelligent satire or emotionally well-developed characters. The Hangover isn't bad, but at its most thoughtful level its nothing more than dumb mindless fun. Sometimes there is nothing wrong with that, but I find comedies that bring more to the table are far more memorable. And well... I will avoid the rant that I want to type regarding your anti-critic logic. I'll just say that the Hangover did well with critics. Better than Funny People.

In the Loop should've made 500 mil worldwide, instead of this.
For raunchy, guy-oriented fun, Hot Tub Time Machine gave me far more bang for my buck.

already have the blu ray and the soundtrack, no need for this
Although the movie was great, but it's pointless to have a re-release that soon...
The previous version already contained good extras, I rather they make ORPHAN into a special collector's edition, I'm dying for it.

Not the greatest movie. Zach G and Bradley Cooper are charming though. But the premiss(sp?) is better than the final product. The end montage was great in the theatre though, Everyone just exploded with laughter.
and they're still pimping the baby on the cover as if its some major plot point. the baby was all over the original release and theatrical posters, lots of the tv ads showed it....imagine my surprise when i finally saw the movie recently and the baby has maybe 10mins of screentime.
i guess they just wanted to look cute or something. lol anyway as EVERY other comedy that "everyone" praises, this wasn't that great. yes it was funny and worth a watch and/or rental but not even close to being HILARIOUS OMG. LOL

well that was a quick Double Dip.
Yeah, Hot Tub Time Machine was better.
I like this cover art much better than the original blu-ray one, but I don't think I need to spend another 25 bucks for this.
Hot Tub Time Machine was better.
If they up the special features, and that's one big IF, I may consider this one for a rental. Warner doesn't live up to "great special features" in many titles it seems.
I just bought the Blu-ray last week. I won't be getting this.

Not gonna disagree with you there. I liked Hangover but it is incredibly overrated. In the Loop was brilliant though. I'd also put Funny People up there.
