BUYER BEWARE! Do not purchase this copy of Father's Little Dividend brought to you by AFA ENTERTAINMENT unless you are into extremely poor quality knock-offs. This dvd looks like someone recorded it from their own T.V.. only worse. The fact that they are charging $14.95, adds insult to injury.
Shame on you AFA ENTERTAINMENT for pawning off garbage reproductions as the real deal and charging a pretty penny for it too! This should be taken off the market.

I bought this copy Christmas of 2009. It is unwatchable. During the kitchen scene where Kay's parents are discussing she and Buckley move in with them, the audio gets stuck like a scratched vinyl record and repeats over and over ad nauseum. The picture freezes then suddenly the audio continues normally but the picture is still frozen. I've checked my player and the copy and can't find anything wrong with the player. Unfortunately I held onto the copy too long to get a refund or exchange. My dvd of "Father of the Bride" which I bought as a package deal cost less but is a great copy. Even if the audio and video didn't get stuck on "FLD", the copy has not been digitally remastered. The picture is washed out and the audio sounds cheap. Lines running through the copy as well. Unwatchable!

Who in the world would want to watch a movie that was originally 4:3 made into 16:9?! No movie lover would! Because to be able to make a 4:3 movie into 16:9 would mean you'd have to cut parts from the top and/or bottom of the image. This is even more stupid than making widescreen movies fit the 4:3 televisions by cutting the right and left part of the film, like they used to do.

This movie is very funny. I enjoyed it and the actors were excellent. It was a good story line and all of the actors had a big roll in the movie. It was enjoyable and I plan to keep watching it in the very near future.

I love the new format. This movie is formatted from widescreen theatrical to wide screen television so it fit the television without any bars and without starching the picture. It is cropped from one side or two sides of the movie. By the way, all the movies you watch on television are formatted to fit the 4x3 television or the widescreen television this why you do not see black bars. This movie is standard definition as most of Hollywood Classic movies. It will look little soft on wide screen television especially of 50 or 60 inch television. Also if you have high definition cable of satellite you will see the difference. The movie is a good movie I enjoy it. If you do not want black bars, buy this movie. The quality you see on the small video screen is the same quality you see on 40' screen.
