The theatrical cut has a much tighter and leaner pacing whereas there are some moments that flander around in the unrated cut due to the addition of the new footage, most of which just simply aren't that funny.

Just got this, haven't seen the theatrical or UR yet. I wonder how Roeper and Leno feel about having their 2 thumbs up on this Unrated and uncut version, since it isn't actually the movie they reviewed.

The theatrical version was pretty hard to find in my area. Tons of unrated, and a handful of the full screen theatrical. Managed to find one widescreen at Walmart tonight.

Walmart was the only retailer where I could find a rated version in widescreen as well.

Complete list of differences between the Unrated version and Theatrical

Unrated Version
* Audio Commetary with Director and Friends
* 13 More Minutes Not Seen in Theaters (and a few minutes inexplicably cut/changed from the original)
* Interviews with Jean Girard and Gregory
* Walker & Texas Ranger: Montage and Outtakes
* More Deleted Scenes: What’d You Do Today? and Cal Calls Ricky
* Ricky and Cal’s Commercials
* Ricky and Cal’s Public Service Announcement

Theatrical Version
* “25 Years Later” Commentary with Director Adam McKay, Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly and more

The above is from information on Amazon. I don't yet own either DVD. From all I've read - it sounds like the unrated version of the movie itself is not as desirable as the theatrical, but the unrated version of the DVD appears to have more bonus features.

Guess I'll be buying both. Ballz

Went to a Sam's Club last night to pickup a few things and noticed that they had more of the Theatrical Versions than Unrated. Most were Fullscreen though.

Watched the unrated version this weekend, and a few of the jokes seemed to go on, I can imagine the theatrical cut being tighter. but the kids who played his sons were brilliant!

Saw the unrated version and "Kenny Rogers" and especially "Larry Bird" being interviewed by Ed Lauter was laugh out loud funny. I thought it was better than Anchorman but not as funny as The Wedding Crashers.
