I came across this Blu-ray release when searching for Funny Farm. I am glad I did. The quality of footage and sound is easily superior to the DVD release. I had never seen Spies Like Us prior to this purchase, but it was most enjoyable. I would argue that the only real similarity between these Blu-ray disc space sharers is that Chevy Chase stars in both films. There is nothing similar about the type of film content other than they're comedies. That said, I don't care, but it may bother you. The reason I gave this purchase four stars though is because there are NO special features, just the films. In summary, if you do not own these films, and/or just really love one (or both) of these films, I would recommend purchasing this.

The transfer (video quality) of Funny Farm is fine (not superb). The transfer of Spies like us is extremely poor, I have seen VHS look better than this. A used DVD of this movie would be a better value.

Update on 11/12/11: There is a comment posted to this review that explains that this Disc is actually the correct version of the movie. Please read it if this issue concerns you.
'Spies Like Us' is a great movie. I bought this version thinking that it would have a wider view than my already purchased dvd which I could only find in full frame. I just compared it to my dvd. For this blu ray, all they did was chop some off from the top and bottom to give it the widescreen look. I thought people might to like to know.

First widescreen release

While not classic comedies, "Funny Farm" and "Spies Like Us" have their funny moments. Both are very enjoyable Chevy Chase movies with his usual relaxed style, a combination of straight man and funny guy. He's teamed with equally funny Dan Aykroyd in the John Landis directed "Spies" which is sprinkled with some very funny cameos. The very good news about this new BD release is that both movies are presented in widescreen for the first time on home video.

Cropped transfer

These movies were originally filmed in and correctly framed for 4:3. A 16:9 pan & scan crop was shown in the theaters and is what you get in this bluray release. For me the 16:9 looks overly chopped and not polished at times. Movies the were originally filmed in a wide screen format normally have better framing. Also this release still only has stereo audio. Both the DVD 4:3 and the bluray 16:9 will get the job done but I prefer the un-cropped version.
