Your Opinions and Comments
The video transfer for both the widescreen and fullscreen is good. There are no compression signs and the colors are nicely saturated. Quite a few shots show Aniston in beautifuly simple situations - just being a normal non-glamorous woman.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is rather flat. The surrounds are hardly ever used, but that`s acceptable for this kind of a drama.
The menus are animated with sound.
The extras include a commentary by the director and his lead actress and writer, 10 deleted scenes (including an alternate ending) and a gag reel.
Bottom line - a nice movie with a very non-typical role by Aniston.
