Seems to be coming out July 4th now.
And for God's sake, who okayed this cover? Ugh.
Was it so much of a flop (it didn't cost that much) that TWC think that slapping an ill-fitting, straight-to-video Steven Segal-type cover will help things? It smacks of desperation.
That silhouette sure ain't Hope Davis!

Straight-to-video title is what I thought of when I first looked at it, too. But I think they're more trying to trick people into thinking it's some kind of James Bond flick, with the sexy sihlouette, and all.
Don't know why some of these films take so long to release on DVD. I've been waiting to see this and Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang forever.

Good goddamn, that's awful. Was this even released widely enough to be concerned about weak box office?
This was my favorite movie of last year. I can't handle that cover. Can we hope for a slipcase? Or SE? I've never printed out my own cover but I think this calls for drastic measures.

Wow, how sad is it that they're trying to draw people in by making it a "James Bond look-alike", when from what I understand, the movie is mostly a comedy. Bad cover or not, can't wait to see this movie.

I just went to pick this up at WalMart. I was hoping that it was on sale, but I saw it for $19.99, full price. I was just about to leave and then I saw a two-pack for $19.99 also, so I went ahead and picked it up. Here is a scan of the front and back of the "bonus" disc:
