Very disappointed. While one of my favorite movies, it was almost
unwatchable due to the poor audio and video. It was almost as if it were a tenth generation copy from a poor original. I will not buy anything else produced by this company.

How to ruin a perfectly marvelous movie? Make a poor quality DVD. The picture is so washed out most details are lost and the sound so low I had to turn up the volume to 99 just to hear it whisper. THIS DVD IS VERY BAD! Please just record this gem the next time it comes on TCM and save your money. It is a shame such a wonderful film has been treated in such a poor manner.

This is one of my all time favorite movies...the sequel to Father of the Bride with all the same cast back again. However what a mess this DVD is. The quality is horrible. Some scenes are so lightened up you can't even see faces! Parts of the movie were also cut out, such as when Liz Taylor is sitting in the swing with Spencer Tracy outside while her new house is being built. You can also see cuts and scratches in the film. I also bought Father of the Bride on DVD at the same time and what a difference! The quality is wonderful! I guess that is becuase it was released by Warner Brothers and not some 2 bit unknown company. I hope Warner Brothers will put out of a copy of this great movie some day! Until then I will content myself with the VHS version I taped off of a cable movie channel 10 years ago!!

The first time I saw this movie, it was on TV. I remembered enjoying it very much. This led to my purchasing the DVD. I was, however, very disappointed in the DVD. The quality of the recording was so bad I gave up half way through the movie. The picture quality was poor and the sound was even worse. It was difficult to understand the dialogue. I am sorry to report this. I was hoping for so much more.

I bought the movie Father's Little Dividend from Amazon made by Alpha Video. The picture was almost all bright light and the sound was terrible too. It was like a copy of a copy of a copy. I won't buy from Amazon again if I should receive another such poor quality product. I suggest to Amazon not to do business with Alpha Video.

This is a wonderful movie that I love watching. However, this version has the worst sound quality I have ever heard. The picture is fine, but the sound constantly goes up and down and even squeals at times. Either I got a bad DVD or all of the DVD's from this set are bad. I would not buy the DVD because of the sound.

DO NOT buy this DVD. Another inferior product by Madacy: bleached out picture and tinny sound. Weren't DVD's supposed to be better quality than VHS?!?!

MGM in 1979 failed to renew the copyright on this movie, and all DVD releases of Father's Little Dividend are bad copies (including, but not limited to, Madacy, Delta, and Alpha).

DO NOT BUY, THE QUALITY IS WORSE THAN VHS, THE VIDEO AND AUDIO ARE SERIOUSLY FLAWED.

Please write to Warner Home Video (formerly known as MGM/UA) and ask them to release Father's Little Dividend to DVD.

I love this movie. I have the VHS version and wanted it on DVD. However, I will be keeping my VHS. This copy is dreadful. It is unviewable. I will never buy from Alpha Video again.

DO NOT BUY THIS DVD from SYNERGY ENT. The quality of reproduction was not even a consideration in the manufacturing of this product. This copy is unwatchable and almost painful to view. Save your time and money on this one. SYNERGY, are all of your offerings of this quality? If so, perhaps you should consider another occupation.
