While not classic comedies, “Funny Farm” and “Spies Like Us” have their funny moments. Both are very enjoyable Chevy Chase movies with his usual relaxed style, a combination of straight man and funny guy. He’s teamed with equally funny Dan Aykroyd in the John Landis directed “Spies” which is sprinkled with some very funny cameos. The very good news about this new BD release is that both movies are presented in widescreen for the first time on home video.

Noticed that someone else had a problem with this disc. My problem was a bit different however … the disc menus and programs move fine, however my discs have NO SOUND. You have to turn your volume all the way to the max to even hear the soundtrack faintly. Will try returning this product for another and leave a followup review when the replacement has been received. At least the ‘widescreen’ picture quality looks to be OK.

I’ve gone through 2 different discs of this blu-ray and both have been defective. The menus work just fine, but as soon as you start either movie, it slows down to a snail’s pace, taking about 30 seconds to get through just 1 second of the movie. I’ve watched other blu-ray discs on my player, old and new, and no issues, so it’s clearly an issue with the discs. Bummer – really looking forward to seeing these classics on blu-ray!

I was thinking of buying the regular dvds but with them on the same disc in a higher transfer I couldnt lose. If you havent seen these movies you should definitely consider it. Very funny and classics that will last a long time compared to other movies.
