Note: I am having some trouble getting this disc to play in my multiregion Oppo BDP-103. On all three regions, the disc loads, but the time code stays at zero and I get a blank screen. I tried playing the disc in my Region A Oppo BDP-103D and that worked fine, both with an outdated, and the most recent firmware, however, updating the multiregion Oppo to the same firmware did not remedy the issue.

As usual, the ancient version of PowerDVD (that came bundled from Dell) on my PC is useless with this disc, as it is with so many BDs I get, so that doesn't provide any more info. I don't have any other players to hand to check the disc with, so I have to assume it is defective.

The disc looks fine and is scanning now with BDInfo. AnyDVD was not able to automatically detect a region code on the disc, and though the packaging states it is Region A, my suspicion is that the disc is not locked, particularly as the disc appears to have been authored by Universal.

I can't get the disc to start in my region A Oppo BDP-93 bluray player. Very frustrating.

I put the disc in last night but didn't turn on the TV for about 15 minutes because I had some work to do. When I did, I saw the menu and the disc played fine.

I turned the player and TV on just now to watch the features, and now it doesn't play. I'm hoping it will after 15 minutes like last night

It's a pain in the ass, but if it's the only way I can watch the disc, I can find something to do for 15 minutes.

A smaller (maybe even brand new) studio released this, so they must have screwed up somewhere.

I have a Panasonic 89 region free player.

I've spent more time on this than I should have

It never worked again in my region free Panasonic player, though when I tried it in my Phillips player, it worked. I ejected it and inserted it 3 times, and it worked perfectly (that's what she said). Then I tried it on my other Panasonic Blu-Ray player (same model as the region free player only not region free), and it didn't work. Finally, I tried it on my first player that I no longer use, a Sylvania, and it worked.

In my eyes, it has worked on 2 out of 3 players (since both Panasonic players are basically the same). I noticed the other 2 users who have commented have Oppo players, so it looks like the disc isn't compatible with certain Oppo and Panasonic players.

I still don't know why it worked for me the first time.

This really is the first time I have been unable to play a disc at all on my Oppo. The disc is a rental from Redbox. I returned it and rented the DVD instead so I can actually watch it. It's really very annoying.

I saw this in the theater two years ago and loved it. I've had the Blu-ray since it was released and watched it again today. What a wonderful and funny film it is with some beautiful scenery too. The ending seems to hint at something more, but I doubt Redford would go for it. Even though I myself don't know how you would continue the story, I would like to see more...
