Stephen Herek directed Married...With Children supporting player Christina Applegate in the comedy Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. The movie makes its way 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 Surround, while a French soundtrack has also been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials are limited to cast and crew biographies. This is a minor, but solid release from HBO/Rysher that should satisfy fans of the film, especially when one considers the inexpensive list price.
Jon Turteltaub's comic telling of the story behind the Jamaican bobsledding team, Cool Runnings comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. There are neither subtitles nor closed captions on this release. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer. This Disney/Buena Vista title does a fine job of presenting the film, but offers little else. Fans of the film will enjoy the disc, but there may not be enough here to interest others.
A good movie for the whole family. The characters mostly start out as strangers but end up very close friends. There are also a couple good lessons to be learned from the events that unfold.
