Title: Unfunny movie, bad DVD
Review: Others have written about how unintentionally unfunny this picture is. And I agree. Even with character actors like Joe Flaherty, John Candy, Slim Pickens, and Ned Beatty, everything falls flat. But what really depressed me about the Collectors Edition DVD was the poor quality of both video and audio. The DVD is NON-anamorphic, which would have kept me from purchasing it had I known. On top of that, there's this fuzzy, vaseline-on-the-lens effect to much of it, which I assume was the intent of the filmmakers and not a flaw of the DVD. But it's really pretty distracting now. And even though the DVD has a 5.1 audio track, the audio is distorted and clipped.If you really want to own this movie, wait for (or look for) an anamorphic transfer that has an improved soundtrack.
