Cover Art - perhaps the best Woody Allen BD artwork.

Can't wait to have,
I enjoyed this one a lot.

[Wernski]

Nice! I wonder if this will have any features. After all his films being featureless on DVD and blu since the very beginning, his last two blus have had at least a little something...

[xinu]

hi!

do you think the blu-ray will be code free?

Best cover artwork, because it has Emma Stone on it.

If anyone buys this and wouldn't mind selling me their UV code, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Anyone know if the slip is under or over the shrinkwrap?

Watched yesterday. Very disappointed. Clichéd film with witty dialogue. One of Allen's poorer films

[RingOfHonor]

Watched tonight and highly enjoyed it. A title I would not mind adding to the collection down the road.

I should have waited till I finished watching. The last act was quite bland.

I disagree. I thought the movie perfect in every way. I liked that there was no big third predictable act. Everything comes together very quietly in the end. I liked the movie a lot... but also was not expecting a lot as well. Sometimes when you don't expect a lot out of life, you walk away pleasantly surprised... or maybe "content" might be a better word.

Please, Could anyone who has it yet, confirm if is it really blocked to 'A' zone?

Thanks is advance
Regards.

Has anyone seen a slipcover for this. I've been checking all over and can't find a mention of one, so am assuming it didn't have one.

Mine has a slipcover.

Sorry to answer six months later but I hadn't looked at this thread before.

It is Region A locked.

I think this is at least second tier Woody and that the film is way underrated. I thought the third act was somewhat predictable, at least

[Show spoiler]in that the Emma Stone character was a fake - I just couldn't believe Woody would have her be a "real" psychic, which I'm sure he doesn't believe in

.

While I found it delightful, I also found it hard to believe, at least that

[Show spoiler]the Firth character, who was a Houdini level skeptic, would fall for it (although that could be explained by his being blinded by his fascination with, and later love for Emma but I still thought it was a stretch). Nevertheless, it's quite wonderful to see how it was all done (I did suspect Firth's friend from early in the picture)

. And I did find the age difference a little much (yes, I know it's Woody). By the way, does anyone else think the cover tries to make Stone look older than she is and Firth look younger than he is?

All that said, if one just goes with the flow and with the (minor) flaws, it's a very enjoyable film.
