It was on EPIX back in May I recorded it and saved it on my DVR knowing it would not be on during November when you want to watch it for thanksgiving, same crap happens with Halloween and Christmas movies

Err, the fact that the leads are white males and the film features few if any minorities..?

Get your physical media copies of these films now, won’t be long before they’re outright banned.

why would I buy a dvd and have it take up space in my house when I can just go to my DVR and watch it any time I want

Take up space in your house? With a DVD?

Do you live in a Dolls house?

I make cheese sandwiches that are bigger than a DVD.

Haha! Right! I literally have HUNDREDS of films on DVD and Blu-Ray including a decent amount of tv-season sets, and with my simple and cheap shelf racks, they take up an 8-foot by less-than-1-foot strip of space along my living room wall.

It's on Comedy Central tomorrow at 9:15am. I got the DVD years ago so I can keep my tradition of watching it every year :)

Watching it now. Not sure why it's not on much. Holiday tradition on thanksgiving eve. Almost sick of it but I have to watch it once a year. Bought the dvd years ago and it came out and was 30 dollars. Expensive I thought but has to have it. Love it but hate neal's wife. She cant talk without doing a bobble head imitation.

Got the blu ray and watch it every year on thanksgiving. Although when it's on TV, they show certain scenes not in the theatrical version.

It is an R-rated film. Certain scenes will be cut depending on the channel.

Please don't call someone a _____tard.

That’s because they have to leave out or show the alternate version of the car rental scene with Edie Mclurg as the rental agent. Martin subjects the agent to a tirade of f-bombs while complaining about there being no vehicles available. She responds with “You’re fugged.”

Lots of f-bombs = R rating. F-bombs are edited from broadcasts.

On Comedy Central there's commercials every 10 minutes and it's censored. One of the premium stations like Encore 80s should have been running throughout November.

If any of you live in the UK and have sky cinema then it's available to stream. Am watching it right now.

The PC police wont allow it on network TV because of the repeated F-Bombs at the car rental scene
