![The Wedding Singer [DVD] [1998]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/3448/3448914_sa.jpg)
The 1980s return in all their gaudy glory in this hilarious romantic comedy starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, arriving on DVD in an extra feature-intensive disc from New Line Home Video that is sure to bring back those fond pastel memories of the Reagan era. Viewable in either the original 1.85:1 widescreen theatrical aspect ratio (enhanced for 16 x 9 TVs) or 1.33:1 full-screen pan-and-scan, this disc also features optional closed-captioned English Dolby Digital 5.1 or French Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks and selectable English, Spanish, and French subtitles. Relive the "Me Decade" with five '80s karaoke songs, including Billy Idol's "White Wedding" and the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight," an '80s music mania trivia game, biographies, filmographies, and a wedding album photo gallery.

Great Romantic Comedy!

Basically anything Adam Sandler touches turns to gold, and that is definitely the case in this romantic comedy. Drew Barrymore portrays such an innocent sweet girl that everyone wants to take home to their parents and Adam Sandler is the hilarious cynical bum musician. Together these actors make great chemistry! would recommend for anyone to own
What's great about it: This movie is a classic
What's not so great: Can be cheesy at times
I would recommend this to a friend!

![Dave [WS/P&S] [DVD] [1993]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/3362/3362140_sa.jpg)
Ivan Reitman's smart romantic comedy Dave makes for a nice DVD, though there is nothing on it to get overly excited about. The image, probably the disc's strong point, includes both a full frame version and widescreen, which is framed at the theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and is anamorphic. While far from a reference quality transfer, colors are nice and fleshtones look very realistic. The sound is completely adequate for a film like this, and utilizes a Dolby Digital surround track, that, needless to say, is centered up front. Some use of the side speakers creeps in, but it is the exception. As for supplemental features, there are some production notes and four theatrical trailers, plus a short six-minute featurette on the making of Dave that consists of as many scenes from the movie as actual interviews. It's a welcome addition, but not much more than a standard PR piece. Strangely enough, this brief documentary is only available on the full-frame side of the disc. Certainly worth renting, this is the kind of cute, fun film that appeals to all audiences.

Cute Movie
on February 16, 2008
Posted by: mirvous
from washington, dc
This movie is great if you like a mixture of political conspiracy and romance. Not a heavy or intense movie but rather quite comical and romantic. The plot of this movie is unique but quite unrealistic, and some may be turned off to this cheesy portray of white house life.
What's great about it: the plot was interesting
What's not so great: quite unrealistic portray of the white house and presidency

This movie definitely holds up the reputation for the bond legend, with a talented actor like daniel craig this movie modernizes the already stellar and futuristic persona of james bond. Great to watch on a date or with any friend!
What's great about it: lots of action, effects, great looking women and men
What's not so great: plot at times could be a little too cheezy

![The Notebook [DVD] [2004]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6914/6914404_sa.jpg)
Directed by Nick Cassavetes, this adaptation of author Nicholas Sparks' bestselling novel revolves around Noah Calhoun's (James Garner) regular visits to a female patron (Gena Rowlands) of an area nursing home. Rather than bore her with the inanities of everyday life, Calhoun reads from an old, faded notebook containing the sweeping account of a young couple (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams) whose love affair was tragically put to a halt after their separation in the midst of World War II. Seven years later, the couple was reunited, and, despite having taken radically different paths, they found themselves unable to resist the call of a second chance. The Notebook also features Joan Allen, Sam Shepard, and Kevin Connolly.

This movie is an all familiar tale of young romance in the time of world war II. The actors in this film are brilliant and is versatile enough for both men and women to enjoy. A great movie for a first date, or just to cozy up and stay in after a long day!
What's great about it: romantic and humorous, witty and charming
What's not so great: there are none!

The final installment of the pirate's trilogy was amazing and worth owning. If you like action and special effects/ pirate ship fighting then you will love this movie.
What's great about it: the plot was great, effects were awesome
What's not so great: was a little too long, the ending could have been better

They may look cute, but there's nothing nice about the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This fighting frenzy will have you inflicting painful KO's on familiar opponents you thought were your friends. Take your frustrations out on Link, Mario and other characters from throughout the gaming world. Shoot spaceships out of the sky in the Lylat System from the Star Fox games and deal out killer blows in Rumble Falls based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.Hit opponent after opponent to build up your damage meter, then knock your enemies clear off the screen. Rely on weapons that are silly but very effective, such as banana peels, pitfalls, gooey bombs and many more. Hurl old-school crates and barrels or select from Assist Trophies and Poke Balls to strike fear in the hearts of your foes. Combine Standard, Strong and Smash attacks to bash your way to victory. There are so many ways to smash, you'll get lost in the melees for hours on end.

Great for kids 12 and under
on February 13, 2008

from washington, dc
This game is appropriate for a birthday present for a child under the age of 12 because it is not explicit or too difficult to play. Would not recommend for a teenager or adult, they would feel highly unchallenged. Otherwise the settings are great and its fun for any kid anywhere.
What's great about it: Great fun for kids!
What's not so great: Lack of challenge and intensity
