Shoulda hired JonTron to do a commentary for this IMO

Very cool, can’t wait!

I know this isn't the greatest film but it's sorta become a tradition to watch this while I wrap gifts each year, so I'll probably pick up a copy so I don't have to rely on the spotty wifi to stream it where we spend the holidays.

MifuneFan · 09-23-2021, 12:32 AM

This is one of those titles I just assumed was out since the early days of BD releases. Surprised Sony didn't even release it overseas ever either.

Froggy0705 · 09-23-2021, 12:46 AM

Yes yes yes!! Love this film and its been on my list!! Another one off now lol! Woo hoo! Just in time for christmas too!!

This is also a Sony release that had a featurette on several international DVDs which the US didn't get. I've not seen it and it's only 15 minutes long, but still, a shame that Sony didn't add it to this Blu-ray:

"Hanging Lights on Hemlock Street" Featurette (15:21) [probably the PAL runtime]

EDIT: On second thought:

Quote:

The only extra on the disk is “Hanging Lights On Hemlock Street” (15:21), which is a featurette which is like “Changing Rooms” where a team of pros decorate a house for Christmas. Yeah, that's the extras here and it's dull, dull, dull. Did I mention dull? It's not worth wasting 2 minutes watching this, let alone 15.

BONUS FEATURES

Hanging Lights on Hemlock Street (15.19 mins)
Production designer Garreth Strover, Holiday Design Expert Cathy Ball and Holiday Lighting Expert James Costigan use the same techniques as they used to decorate the street in 'Christmas with the Kranks'. They show you how to design you Christmas decorations for the outside of your house, the equipment, lighting, garlands and wreaths that you will need to make you house standout during the Holiday season. This is extremely American and over the top, as it would cost a fortune to do the same in your own home.

It sounds like it shouldn't be much missed!

I adore this movie, and I have no shame in that. I have come close to buying the DVD so many times, and always held out in illogical hope for a Blu-ray. Christmas came early.

BluFan24 · 09-23-2021, 02:21 AM

I've watched this every Christmas Eve for the last several years. Streaming for the most part until I bought the Dvd last year and I will gladly buy the Blu when it's available.

zeze · 09-23-2021, 02:48 AM

About time. Definitely going to pick it up so I can give it a watch before Christmas.

gregmasciola · 09-23-2021, 03:31 AM

Finally! I know it's not the greatest Christmas movie ever, but I still really enjoy it. I bought the DVD a few years ago just in case it ever wasn't available to stream. I'll definitely get this on day one.

cricepng · 09-23-2021, 04:52 AM

And I just caved in and bought the DVD a few months ago

Hardback247 · 09-23-2021, 05:20 AM

Who spends over $6000 on Christmas? Seriously.

disco1979 · 09-23-2021, 05:21 AM

I remember when this movie first came out, I hated it. Then I had a change of heart and now I love it. Can't wait for this release.

Torgon · 09-23-2021, 06:36 AM

Finally! One of our favorites. This is a Christmas must for watching and we’ve had to watch it on Amazon (for HD) the last several years. Time to toss the DVD! Where is the preorder link?

‘What are you doing?’ (one of our favorite and quotable scenes)

I've had the DVD forever, I even D2D-ed it on Vudu years ago to get it in HD because it seemed like a no-brainer for them to release and thought since they hadn't, they never would... I know it's not the best movie (it still annoys me how entitled everybody was and gets pissed off that they're not having a party, and also annoys me how he's not getting his secretary anything and is so weird about letting OTHER PEOPLE decorate his house lol) but I'm not ashamed to admit I watch it every year as part of my annual viewing so I'll happily pick it up.

levcore · 09-23-2021, 12:50 PM

Excellent Christmas movie, glad it's finally getting a blu ray.

deltatauhobbit · 09-23-2021, 07:57 PM

The ham scene is pretty darned great.

Never got the poor reception for this movie. I love watching this every year. Day 1 for me.
