Your Opinions and Comments
The movie turned out to be truly silly, useless and with the exception of a single song (penis related) - not funny at all.
The video transfer is average. Some compression signs and grain can easily be detected (especially during the scenes where Diaz is wearing her pink sweatshirt).
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is ok. The surrounds are used occasionally, but don`t expect anything too explosive.
The menus are nicely animated with sound.
The extras include a commentary by the director and most of the cast, a behind the scenes look, a stupid parody about the movie makers, 2 storyboards and some outtakes (which can be seen as the end credits roll).
Bottom line - an average disk and a weak movie make this one a "skip it" title.
