Howard Deutch's comedy The Great Outdoors comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. Spanish subtitles are accessible and the English soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include production notes, talent bios, and a theatrical trailer. Genre enthusiasts and fans of John Candy will want to give this disc a look, but there may not be enough here to interest the average DVD collector.

John Candy and John Hughes re-team in the comedy Uncle Buck, which comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English, Spanish, and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. Spanish subtitles are accessible, and the English soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include biographies of the cast and crew, and production notes. This is a solid release from Universal that will please fans of the film.

Divorce was never funnier in the black comedy The War of the Roses, directed by Danny Devito and starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. Fox has done a wonderful job on this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. The colors and black levels all look clean and bright with no bleeding or muting present. A small amount of grain shows up in a few spots, though it's nothing intrusive to the viewing of the film. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 (English and French) and lacks the punch of a good 5.1 sound mix. While the soundtrack is free of any distortion or hiss, the lack of fidelity and depth make this a somewhat disappointing sound mix. Also included on this disc are English and Spanish subtitles. This edition of War of the Roses includes a few fine extra features. The first is a great commentary track by director/actor Danny Devito. The director seems to have a wealth of knowledge about the making of the film, and is both charming and funny. Up next is a collection of deleted scenes with a very funny introduction by Danny Devito. These scenes are strung together in one full-length sequence. Four storyboards are included, as well as some sketches of some scenes from the film. Finally there is a still gallery of photos from the film (props, posters, effects, and production), the entire shooting script, four theatrical trailers, and six TV spots for the movie.
