This is one gets watched pretty regularly at my house because it'san easy one to pop in and drift in and out of. The extras are pretty sweet. The stunts are broken down. It's got a lot of stuff. The MTV awards thing with Ben Stiller is hilarious.

My biggest complaint is the shitty, shitty dialogue. There's a few good ones, but the stuff between Tom and Thandie really sucks. I wish I could blame it on the acting but how can you say, "We just rolled up a snowball and tossed it into hell, now we'll see what kind of chance it's got," and not make the line sound completely corny. And it's Robert Towne no less?!? I think he needs to go back and read Chinatown. Eck.

But a quality disc nonetheless.
