Synopsis:
Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs), Wayne Lefessier (Steve Zahn) and J.D. McNugent (Jack Black) have been best friends since the fifth grade.
Enter Judith (Amanda Peet), a cold-hearted beauty who digs her claws into sweet-natured Darren. She snatches him from his friends and even breaks up their cover band. J.D. and Wayne try every imaginable scheme to save Darren - and their friendship - but fail miserably. When they find out Darren has been brainwashed into marrying Judith, the dim-witted duo decide to kidnap her and reunite Darren with his long-lost love, before she becomes a nun!

Your Opinions and Comments
The video transfer is ok. There are no compression signs at all. Notice that despite what the box says, the disk contains only the widescreen version.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is good. While the surrounds are hardly used, the sound is ok for this kind of a movie.
The menus are all animated with sound.
The extras include a commentary by the director and some (not funny at all) outtakes.
Bottom line - forget it, not worth the 96 minutes runtime.
