WHAT I THOUGHT OF THE EXTRAS
------------------------------------------------------

My favourite extra on any DVD is the Directors commentary and its even more intersting when there is more than one person doing the commentary, i liked this feature because it was nice listening to all three of them ecplain the different ways in which each of them interpreted each of the scenes.

Deleted scenes are another favourite of mine, its always interesting to find out what happened to the parts that you may of seen in the Teaser Trailer but what never materialised on screen. Most times a scene is cut due to time restrictions,other times it is to make sure that the film doesn't get too high a rating at the cinema.

I've never really been a fan of music videos on a DVD but on this i liked it because i loved the song so much, as i work in a cinema i saw this trailer many times before the film was released and me and my friends found the song growing on us the more we heard it.

Of course its got the obligatory Trailer and TV spots (The kind of extras that appear on nearly every Dvd released nowadays) which round of the DVD nicely.

The only thing that i feel is missing from the extras list is Outtakes; on a comedy film like this you usally get some fairly good outtakes but none as far as the eye can see on this DVD release.

Good review, but what doesn't come out of it is how riotously funny the film is. I laughed nonstop right through.
