This slow-burning thriller performed poorly at the box office despite the star power of Gwyneth Paltrow as a pregnant bride and Jessica Lange as the mother-in-law from hell. For that reason, one might not expect particularly lavish treatment for its DVD release, but this disc must still rank as a disappointment. In basic audio-visual terms, the disc is reasonably good. There is the choice of Dolby 5.1 or Stereo, and both are of an acceptably high standard. The anamorphic widescreen transfer is also a success, and at least cashes in on the movie's most obvious strength: its cinematography (the rich skylines and wide green fields really look excellent on this DVD). However, the special features amount to only the rather predictable theatrical trailer -- at the very least Columbia TriStar could have included some biographies and a fluffy promotional piece for Paltrow fans. Though the movie itself is enhanced by DVD technology, this unimaginative edition is unlikely to win over many new devotees.
