OVERALL THE DVD HAS A GREAT PRESENTATION. THE COMMENTARIES ARE GREAT, AND SO ARE THE BONUS FEATURES. THE MOVIE IS LESS DRAMATIC AS THE ORIGINAL AS FRANK OZ TENDS TO ALL COMEDY TO HIS PROJECTS WHICH ISN'T NECESSARILY A BAD THING. I COMPARED THIS REMAKE TO THE ORIGINAL ONLY TO FIND THAT I REALLY LIKE BOTH EQUALLY. THE ORIGINAL, OF COURSE, LOOKS DATED WHICH IT IS, BUT STILL STANDS UP ON ITS OWN. SOUND ON THE NEWER VERSION IS MUCH, MUCH BETTER, BUT LIKE PREVIOUS MOVIES THAT I'VE REVIEWED HERE THIS ISN'T THE KIND OF MOVIE THAT YOU BUY FOR SOUND. THIS IS AN ENTERTAING MOVIE IN BOTH OF ITS INCARNATIONS.
BOTH VERSIONS ARE WORTH BUYING.
