1.0 out of 5 stars Bad technical quality, 11 Dec 2006
Yes, yes, excellent film and all that. Granted. But I would like to warn everybody that the technical quality of this DVD doesn't at all do justice to the artistic quality of the content. The picture is grainy (yes, grainy, which is particularly weird in a DVD), it looks positively awful on any screen larger than a laptop, the 4:3 format is disappointing, and there are absolutely no frills (extra features), not even subtitles or chapter overview. A film of this quality deserves a much better DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic film, appalling DVD, 21 Jun 2007
By James Luckard (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love this film, but I'll confine this review to the wretched DVD. I own hundreds of DVDs and this is without a doubt the worst quality of them all. The colors are all faded and the transfer is not in the proper aspect ratio.

Worse, the 4% PAL speed-up is really noticable because the film is filled with well-known pop songs, always the worst victims of speed-up, which sound like they're being sung by The Chipmunks on this DVD.

Luckily the film has been released on DVD in the US, in a fantastic looking widescreen version, and it's NTSC, so there's no speed-up. I bought it and sold my copy of this release, which is garbage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!!, 20 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Peter's Friends [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is so much better than your Four Weddings/Notting Hill overhyped nonsense. If you want a brilliant storyline and top notch acting, you won't do much better than this. Each character is rather likeable and you get to know them all personally. In particular, the relationship between the annoyingly brilliant Brian (Tony Slattery) and Sarah (Alphonsia Emmanuel) is excellent and soooo true!! Rita Rudner shines in her role, also, but I can't find a fault with the whole film.
