Normally I don't get a comedy on Blu-Ray, but seeing as how it was $3 cheaper than the regular and I also got the extra stuff, I went for it. Still as funny as I remember it.

Re: The Hangover --> Dec. 15th!
I put this on my Christmas list so I'll have to wait 10 days to see if I get it. Hopefully I will! I went to Target with a friend today and she bought the barebones theatrical edition, and we went back to her house and watched it. It was just as hilarious as I remembered, and I can't wait to see the Unrated verison (the 2-Disc UR is on my Christmas list)!

Re: The Hangover --> Dec. 15th!
I watched the unrated 2 disc standard DVD last night and there is a commentary listed in the extras on disc 2 for the theatrical cut. I watched the unrated cut and all of the extras, except for the commentary. I'll probably go back and watch the theatrical cut and listen to the commentary later this week. I was surprised to see the commentary in the extras menu since it's not listed on the back cover and I've seen no mention of it online.

They're at it again!!!
Read the whole review here.
The Video *** (Unrated Cut) **½ (Theatrical Cut)
The "Theatrical Cut" appears on a DVD-9 along with the digital copy and all of the special features. Typical of recent Warner DVDs of new release theatrical titles, it looks pretty bit-starved and is riddled with digital video artifacts, aliasing, and other defects that make it not hold up well to large screen viewing. The "Unrated Cut" appears on a separate DVD-5 with no extras beyond a series of skippable promos. It appears to have marginally better compression than the theatrical cut with less MPEG noise. It has more than its share of artifacts, though, and will likely still be a disappointment to viewers watching on large displays.
