It's a Ron Howard movie with an ensemble cast. Steve Martin got top billing and is the central character on the poster, but the movie's about a lot more than just him. Even Ken-U Reeves is really good in this.

Could use some Kindergarten Cop love instead.

I realize that, but I'd rather have The Jerk and Leap of Faith.

Have you seen the movie? Easily one of the best "family" comedies ever made. I laughed until I cried, particularly during the

The Jerk was underwhelming on HD-DVD, but I guess there's only so much Universal can do with a low budget 33 year-old comedy. I do hope that when it does hit Blu-ray, Universal includes the original mono track. The 5.1 remix on the HD-DVD had new sound FX when M. Emmet Walsh is shooting the cans through the window that really stuck out.

So you didn't like Frost/Nixon, Apollo 13, Willow, or Cinderella Man?

Ransom was pretty good too. It would've been better had it not been for that spoilerific trailer.

I grew up watching this film as it was one of my parents favorites, especially since the family dynamic was rather similar to my own (Grandparents had 5 kids all of which had been married with kids at least twice) and by the time I came around I had cousins older than me (and even a neice who is only a year younger).

No matter how many times I watch it I still crack up laughing. Day 1 for me and I rarely purchase catalog releases (especially for more than $10).

I might be the only person on this site that wants The Paper on blu, a stellar Ron Howard film IMO also w/ an all star cast.
there has NEVER been a widescreen release on ANY format, just FF/P&S

they can call it the "Stop The Presses Edition"

I'd be in for Far and Away, Splash and Night Shift, also.

I never saw The Paper. It was a box office disappointment, but I wouldn't mind giving it a look someday if it was released.

I love Parenthood, but I'd love for Far and Away to come out on BD, too. The cinematography is incredible.
