Adam Sandler's Big Daddy comes to DVD with a pair of images. The widescreen transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and is preferable to the standard full-frame 1.33:1 image. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a "making of" featurette that aired originally on HBO, talent files, original theatrical trailers, bonus trailers, and music videos from Garbage and Sheryl Crow. Fans of Sandler will not be disappointed with this disc.

Certainly not the most original film, or one of the better adaptations of Stephen King's work, Dreamcatcher is the type of movie to find more life on home video than it did in the theaters. The DVD, while also far from perfect, will surely help. The 2.35:1 anamorphic transfer (there is a severely cropped pan-and-scan version available separately) is nearly perfect, with great contrast and dense blacks, which comprise the majority of the film. This is a dark film, and the selective use of color stands out. This disc flawlessly captures that balance. The sound, which offers a 5.1 Dolby Digital track, is full of life, all in the correct proportions. Dialogue and sound effects are matched effectively, and the proper use of surrounds adds to the overall experience. The supplements, while not overwhelming, do offer some insight on this production. The main gist of the extras are three featurettes, none of which provide any real depth alone, and which probably should have been used for one single documentary. These three include a brief interview with King, a longer look at the production with interviews from director Lawrence Kasdan, the cast, and a number of crew members, and finally, another all-too-short piece on the visual effects of the film. Finally, along with the theatrical trailer, are three deleted scenes, an outtake, and a decisively anti-climactic alternate ending.
