New Line Romantic Comedy: 4 Film Favorites Reviews:
Chick flick paradise 
2009-10-27 - I'm not a huge chick flick lover, but my Mother is and she loved this gift. This is a great addition to your library or gift for anyone who swoons over fun, romantic comedies. The true gems here are definitely the tear inducing brilliant transfers of Untamed Heart and Don Juan. Enjoy!
A great deal!
2009-07-13 - You get four total romantic comedies here, and all of them are great movies. I haven't yet watched the Juliana Moore film, but I have seen Bed of Roses. Big CS fan! It's a must for any woman to have in her dvd collection!
Fullscreen format, not Widescreen - Amazon is adjusting description 
2009-03-05 - If you do not mind fullscreen (shame) this is a good buy.
If you require widescreen (the way movies are meant to be viewed), do not purchase this 4-film, 2-DVD set. They are all in fullscreen format, and amazon.com is repairing the misinformation in their product description.
If you like romantic films, this DVD is for you. 
2009-01-18 - All 4 of the movies on this DVD are not great movies, but they are good enough if you are looking to watch a light-hearted love story. I would recommend this to you if you like "candy" movies.
Depp, Slater, Brosnan and O'Donnell (a romantic 4-some)
2008-04-17 - NEW LINE CINEMA's colorful history includes releasing "Reefer Madness" in the late '60s, as well as several of John Waters' films. Their first big commercial success was the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series. Since then, NEW LINE has distributed "Lord of the Rings," "Austin Powers" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." Ted Turner purchased the company in 1994. It became a WARNER BROS. subsidiary in early 2008.
This "NEW LINE ROMANTIC COMEDY 4 Pack" is a mixture of good to middling films, with "Don Juan DeMarco" being the best of the lot.
Also recommended is ROMANTIC COMEDY: 4 FILM FAVORITES (another WARNER's product), which offers a similar mix of mid '90s movies.
