Curious to see what Hathaway does in the upcoming couple years, apparently this was her big "breakout" year getting props for Get Smart and oscar hype for Rachel Getting Married.
That said, thanks for the heads up! Was curious when we were going to see this one.

Saw this listed over at dvdactive where they also have cover art posted. According to that site it looks like Warner is releasing the single disc version of the DVD in "full screen" only! So anyone who wants it in widescreen will have to pay $5 more for the two disc DVD or $10 more for the BD!
I'm just waiting for them to announce the upcoming VHS edition of "The Dark Knight".

This was her breakout year? But Devil Wears Prada and Brokeback Mountain weren't big movies? I think she's doing rather well considering she had to start with the Disney Machine.

This was a fun ride in the theater. I might just buy it, because I need more comedies in my collection.

Crap. Seriously? No lossless audio?
I'm going to just stop buying their releases that don't include lossless audio... hopefully they will get around to re-releasing this with proper audio if this is true. I feel ripped off enough with Speed Racer and Pushing Daisies. If those ever come out with lossless audio they better start an exchange program.

i think i'll wait and see if this is a flub by the incompetent WB PR people or a flub by the incompetent WB technical people that decide the specs. at this point, it could be either one.
if it ends up being DD only, i'll probably pass as i was lukewarm on this title anyway.

Makes no sense. I mean even a direct-to-video title like Rest Stop 2 got lossless audio...

What. The. Fuck. Warner.
I thought we were all told this wouldn't be an issue anymore? Why are films still getting 5.1? How the hell does Rest Stop 2 and Otis get a TrueHD track and not Get Smart?

I've boycotted Speed Racer and I'll do the same with Get Smart. It sucks because I actually liked Get Smart but oh well, with this economy I guess it's better just keeping the 20 bucks back in my pocket.

There is absolutely no reason to not include a lossless track. I thought this movie was terrific -- MUCH better than I'd anticipated -- but I will not be buying this.

Yeah, I may skip it altogether and just rent it. I liked the movie a lot, but the features don't seem to be that great and I have to wonder if a new edition will come out down the road (maybe even on BD with TrueHD).

Looks like Speed Racer being #1 on BD means (to Warner) that we don't care about lossless 
This sucks. I actually would have purchased this film...now...a rental.

I guess I'm going to do the same now. For sure. This is seriously the last I can take of it anymore.
Warner has officially driven me over the edge on this issue. They are fooling themselves if they think doing this will convince us to buy and re-buy various titles on the Blu-ray format. As for Speed Racer, I own it - and I regret it. I should have never put it on Pre-Order. I thought it would have gotten a better treatment. By the time I heard it only had Dolby Digital 5.1 It had already shipped and I didn't bother to return it. That was a mistake.
