DVD Talk review of 'The Stupids'
I read John Sinnott's DVD review of The Stupids at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=9223 and...
you forgot to mention if this disc is anamorphic? This is a personal guilty pleasure, and New Line very rarely puts out a full frame only release.

I saw this in his review about FULL FRAME question:
"Video:
I was afraid that this was going to be a full frame disc. Children’s movies (or movies the studio execs think are for children) often get the pan and scan treatment. I was stunned to see that you have your choice of widescreen or full frame video! I viewed the 1.85:1 widescreen version, and the picture quality was very good."

Yes, it is anamorphic! Sorry I forgot to put that in, I'll edit the review.
I wasn't sure who put it out (and too lazy to look ot up.) The test disc I received came in a blank jewel case with no artwork on the disc, just the title and "Region 1." When I popped it in I was very fearful that it would be P&S.

Curious that you would be, though, as New Line has never released an exclusively fullscreen disc. The studios that might've pulled this with THE STUPIDS are Columbia or Buena Vista.
