Maerj, what a sexy, well-done review! :up:
In a nutshell: Marvin's a cutie. It had its funny and weird moments. And romance.

I believe your money is worth wasting on this movie. ;)

Thank you. It was indeed a sexy review, but at least I used protection.

I saw the movie today and liked it. I thought the John Malkovich character and subplot was not so great, and on the whole it was a lot less funny then it was in reading the book...but I enjoyed it nearly wholeheartedly.

Well that was pretty out there and strange, but not unexpected because I posted the sing-along page yesterday. Catchy tune, and as good as a way to start the film as any, I guess.

The <i>Chicken Little</i> teaser had me worried I was in the wrong theater. Panic!

I've only read the first book, which is the one the movie is based on, so I hardly call myself a big fan, but I was hesitant on whether or not I would enjoy the movie. NOt as good as the book, but still very good, IMO.

Just got back from this. I was going to see Saints and Soldiers(a religious film involving WWII and the Battle of the Bulge), but we didn't have time to drive out two hours to see it. I had been very interested in this from the beginning, but having read a few reviews was a bit skeptical. I've got to tell you- this is the weirdest, most bizzare film I've ever seen, and it had me in stitches. What a Perfect(as in Ford Perfect) blend of oddness and hilarity. I'm definitely seeing this again and then buying the DVD.

GARHHH!!!!!! What does a DVD having/not having a slipcover have any influence on whether you buy a DVD or not. I only get slipcovers for disney movies, but don't care about non-disney movies.

With Alan the Pot, logic is thrown out the door and replaced with cardboard.

BTW, I never knew a pot named Alan, lol.

I told Luke that The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy was coming out September 13th.

Anyways the artwork looks kind of lame. :roll:

Marvin! Yea, I'm definitely buying this because they put Marvin on the cover!
(note the joking sarcasm ;))

The cover's actually nice. Can't wait till they announce what's on the DVD besides the movie.

I like the cover, even if Arthur and Marvin look rather photoshopped. Judging by the fact that there's no fancy banner, it seems this won't be a 2-disc set as play.com had said. This means either play.com was misinformed, or the UK will be getting a 2-disc while we get a single disc. Judging by the specs from play.com, a single disc seems even more likely than ever.

* Audio commentary from director Garth Jennings
* Deleted scenes
* Fake deleted scenes
* 'Making Of' Featurette
* Additional entries from the Guide
* Sing-a-long to "Thanks For All The Fish"
* 'Marvin's Hangman' set-top game
