I had trouble sitting through this two disc movie. But I did enjoy this old classic! My granddaughter picked this one out. No regrets on buying this old classic
My granddaughters and I saw this in the theaters (of course only after having them watch the original Tomb Raiders). I don’t like spoiler alerts on movies, lets just say we all enjoyed it and did not think twice about purchasing the movie
I had just finished listening to the Audio book “the da Vinci code” that had the Robert Langdon character, that Tom Hanks plays, in it. Which made me feel a little more familiar with the movie and characters
Granddaughters 10 & 5 (and I) enjoyed this movie. And are happy to have this in our movie collection- we will for sure watch it again and most likely with the original movie with Robin Williams
Jodie Foster's humorous portrayal of an odd dysfunctional family coming together for Thanksgiving dinner should strike a chord with anyone who has ever weathered the holidays -- and survived. Home for the Holidays features a very nice 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen presentation that sports vivid colors, solid flesh tones, and even black levels. Although there is a small amount of grain and dirt in certain scenes, overall this is a very nice looking transfer from MGM. No edge enhancement or shimmer was spotted throughout the feature. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 (as well as Dolby 2.0 Surround in French) and sounds very good. Since this is a dialogue-driven film, surround effects were not aggressive, though there were moments when all speakers were engaged. Dialogue, effects, and Mark Isham's comedic score all shine clearly and concisely. Also included on this disc are French and Spanish subtitles. Much like Jodie Foster's directing debut Little Man Tate, Home for the Holidays includes a commentary track by the director. Jodie Foster tends to be very lively and talkative throughout this track, making it enjoyable and enlightening for the viewer. Also included on this disc is an original theatrical trailer for Home for the Holidays. This DVD may not be heavy in the supplements department, but it should be filling enough for any fan of disastrous family comedies.
I remember my daughter always saying she loved this movie, so when I saw it, I bought it. Funny dysfunctional family issues that you can so relate too...
The complete series of movies about a flabbergasted security guard (Ben Stiller) and his adventures with historical diorama figures come to life in the American Museum of Natural History. Includes Night at the Museum, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb
We had the night at the museum and could never find the other two movies, by themselves- very happy with the set, it’s price and the other movies were enjoyed by everyone...
John Hancock's heartwarming holiday film Prancer comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. Spanish and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the original theatrical trailer. This is a fine release from MGM/UA that should satisfy anyone on the lookout for family friendly fare.
