It's a shame that it's not a bit more elaborate, feature-wise, seeing as how we've had a perfectly decent anamorphic transfer for years now. And only a featurette about the upcoming musical? Lame.

DTS? Yay.
Does anyone actually say "totally awesome" during the film? Sounds like more of a Fast Time reference.
Why not the "I hope you fucking choke" edition? Not a very marketable term, but sounds better.

Just as an FYI, here is more info about the Broadway show. My wife and I got tix, we're going in April.
Now back to topic - I will pass on this one. The original dvd is good enough for me. If the new dvd were to include a commentary, I may have thought otherwise.

I'm all over this. If MSRP is $19 then it should be fairly cheap.
This is one of those movies I'm always in the mood to watch. One of Sandler's better roles IMO. Him and Drew have great chemistry and Christine is easy on the eyes. Great 80's soundtrack too. Sure, it has a sappy ending... but it's the perfect sappy ending.
"Now get out of my Van Halen t-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up. "

*Widescreen/fullscreen
*80's Karaoke Songs (White Wedding, Do You Really Want to Hurt Me, Rapper's Delight, Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, and Hold Me Now)
*80's Music Mania (Trivia Game)
*Cast Biographies and Filmographies
*Wedding Album (Photo Gallery)
I went through this whole disc a month or two ago, and there's just not a whole lot there of any substance. Not that the new one has a whole lot, either, but it looks like it's the one to get for folks that don't have the old one yet.

Never grabbed this, DTS sounds like a nice reason to pick it up (that and not being in a snapper)

What is with all this extra footage? Most of these movies have sufficient running times. Extra footage should be supplemental. At least it's not as much a The 40 Yr Old Virgin. like Wedding Crashers, an option to pick the theatrical edition should be on the disc. Time to start waiting for HD material with full bitrate audio like the DTS laserdisc would have had.

EDIT: Nope. I checked. I guess she doesn't. She says "totally", but no "awesome". So much for that theory.
