The mermaid comedy classic Splash comes back to DVD in a jam-packed 20th Anniversary Edition thanks to Touchstone Home Entertainment. Presented in an anamorphic 1.85:1 widescreen picture with brand-new Dolby Digital 5.1 audio, the flick looks and sounds better than ever. Bonus features are where this sucker really scores the points, and it all starts with the "Making a Splash" all-new featurette. Clocking in at 24 minutes and chock-full of interviews new and old, the making-of is a fun and informative look at the film through the eyes of all involved (including a few archival moments with the great John Candy). Also worth a look are the original Ron Howard audition tapes with Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah. An introduction by Howard leads you into these interesting glimpses at the stars-before-they-were-stars as they work out deliveries and character quirks in a back-and-forth with the director. If that weren't enough, you also get a group commentary from Ron Howard's gang of partners in crime, including the director himself, his spiky-haired producer chum Brian Grazer, and the hilarious comedy writing duo of Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel. The chat is light and brisk as the track bops its way along, with Mandel and Ganz cracking wise every chance they get, while Grazer proves once again why producers don't make for good commentators -- the "This is Brian" tag that he throws in literally before everything he says gets old really fast! Some would call out the studio for not including a trailer, but that unfortunately seems to be the norm in big discs these days. If you're a fan of the flick and have been looking forward to a better version than the first slim release, you'll flip over this edition.

I liked Runaway Bride a lot better than Pretty Woman. I first saw Runaway Bride then I watched this one and it's not as good. I thought in some parts Pretty Woman was a little boring it seemed like a very long movie. Runaway Bride has more stars than this one. I thought it was funnier to. If you are looking for a good movie to buy don't put this one on the top of your list.
What's great about it: julia roberts and richard gere

This is Taylor's second cd. I like this one more than her first because she sings more mature songs and her voice sounds more mature as well. This girl can really sing for her age. I think every country music fan should go out and buy this cd.

Anyone will like this movie it's not just a chick flick. Meryl Streep amazed me with her preformance in this film. I think it's her best one yet! Everyone says she can't sing or dance well after watching this movie she can! The songs aren't annoying like most musicals are. They tell a story and the singers are playing out the lyrics as they go. It's a very entertainging movie. Meryl Streep should be proud of herself.

This is Kelly's best cd so far and that's hard to say because she has so many great songs, but this cd really lets us know how well Kelly can sing and how high she can hit a note! I think listeners will really relate to some of the songs that Kelly sings on this cd. It's worth buying for sure. It's one of the greatest albums of all time! And I'm not just saying that because I'm a Kelly fan. I think you will agree with me after buying this cd.

This is the cutest movie ever so far! Anyone can watch this movie and love it even adults. It should've won a lot more awards than it did. If you have a kid go and buy it even if you haven't seen it already and watch it with your kid I guarantee they will love it and watch it over and over and over.

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT Film! It's worth every penny. The actors are incredible and the plot is very entertaining. This movie is more for teenagers though it seems. Unless you're a fan of vampire stories.

I loved this cd, but I have to say I like Some Hearts better only because I liked the songs on Some Hearts better. Any Carrie fan should go out and buy this cd you will love it!
What's great about it: Carrie's vocals!
What's not so great: Didn't like the cd as much as I liked Some Hearts.
