New on DVD this week…
About Last Night
This remake of the 1986 Rob Lowe-Jim Belushi buddy movie, itself based on David Mamet’s play Sexual Perversity in Chicago, contains some of the same lines (“You’re too good looking: the best thing that could happen to your face is an industrial accident”) but amps up the raunch factor while throwing the hilarious Kevin Hart and Michael Ealy into the mix. The boys try their best to keep things light until those three little words send both their relationships into a tailspin. Co-starring Joy Bryant and Regina Hall. Lots of special features on the Blu-ray including a making-of extra, dating advice from the stars, an extra on the “I Love You” game, previews, and dating do’s and don’ts from people on the street.
That Awkward Moment
Jason and Daniel (Zac Efron, Miles Teller) come to the rescue of newly divorced pal Mikey (Fruitvale Station’s Michael B. Jordan) in a “bros before hos” pact to stay single for as long as possible and enjoy bachelorhood in New York City. But things get complicated when the guys all suddenly meet the women of their dreams. The Blu-ray has a behind-the-scenes extra features discussions with the actors and writer/director Tom Gormican. There’s an extended gag reel, plus an on-the-couch chat wherein Efron, Teller and Jordan try to explain the differences between men and women.
Endless Love
It’s just not the same without the Lionel Richie song... It’s graduation and Jade Butterfield (Gabriella Wilde) realizes she doesn’t know anyone in her class, but David (Magic Mike’s David Pettyfer) has had a secret crush for years. Jade’s overbearing father (Bruce Greenwood) doesn’t approve of his princess dating a grease monkey, but the more their parents try to keep them apart, the more intense their relationship gets. On Digital and HD this week, and available on Blu-ray and DVD May 27. The Blu-ray features an extended ending, alternate scenes and a making-of extra where cast and crew weigh in on first love.
