Grosse Pointe Blank Reviews:
If you love the dark humor of John Cusack .....
2009-11-28 - then you must buy this movie!! Cusack's dry, dark humor will having you falling off your couch! The fact that Minnie Driver is his costar doesn't hurt any, either. Whatever Cusack dishes out, Driver throws right back. As with many of his (or her) movies, Cusack's sister, Joan Cusack, is also cast in this movie. This movie will end up in the "classic, must see" section of movies soon! Don't wait till then to buy it!

New 2-disc reissue appears to be same NON-ANAMORPHIC disc as 1998 release
2009-09-17 - I went into a local store to check out the packaging for this 2-disc re-release, hoping that Disney would finally release a DVD of Grosse Pointe Blank with a new 16x9 anamorphic transfer. This new disc appears to be the same disc that was released in 1998, and NOT a new anamorphic widescreen transfer. On the back of the package, it still lists "Dolby Digital Surround Sound" and "1.85:1 Widescreen," the same as it did on the original DVD (and the combo GBP/High Fidelity disc that came out later). The new 2-disc release for "High Fidelity" lists the same bonus features as its original release, and showed as "Enhanced for 16x9 Televisions."

It appears the only difference between this release and the original 1998 issue is a second disc with a digital copy for portable video players and updated packaging. I didn't end up buying it based on the packaging and won't until they release a proper version for 16x9 televisions (hopefully a Blu-ray).

I am extremely disappointed that Disney would even bother to re-release such an antiquated, low-quality DVD with only the most minor of improvements (packaging, digital copy). Even if they had not added any bonus features (the original release had none to speak of), an updated anamorphic transfer wouldn't be too much to ask. Will absolutely not buy a copy of Grosse Pointe Blank until a good-quality DVD or Blu-ray is made available.
