I love this movie! I also love the original soundtrack. This is a Special Edition Director’s Cut chock full of Bruce Springsteen songs. Nothing against The Boss, it just threw me off not hearing what my teenage heart remembered from this wonderful movie.
I googled it and found out “Songs by Bob Seger were substituted in place of those by Bruce Springsteen shortly before the films release after failure to reach agreement with Springsteen.
The real Rocky loved Bruce Springsteen's music, however the director thought Bob Seger's music was a better fit for the movie”
So apparently all these years later this edition of the movie has Springsteen’s blessing and it’s going to be a distraction.

I purchased this movie because why not?
This is a great family movie and Jim Carrey is in it.
Jim Carrey is the original master of comedy.
That family oriented comedy that I loved from the glorious 90s. I wanted my kids to enjoy this like I did many many times. The movie did not disappoint my kids loved it all you could hear was the laugh and giggles that only Carrey know how to give his fans. Nonetheless that night he won two more fans with this classic. Now moving unto Ace Ventura.

I ordered the video on Wednesday and it was delivered to my house the next day in Thursday's mail. This movie has extra scenes that actually made it better then the one I saw in the theater. If you're a (Sam Elliott) Gar or (Cher) Rusty Dennis fan you'll really like this Director's Cut. Rusty and Rocky Dennis (Eric Stoltz) also sing the song "Little Egypt" around a campfire at a biker field party. That was a funny scene. Red dies in this movie and another extra scene is at his funeral. If you're a Bob Seger fan, as I am, all his songs were replaced with Bruce Springsteen songs in this Director's Cut. In real life, Rocky's favorite artist was the Boss but his music wasn't in the original film for some reason. You'll enjoy this video!

Love this movie had my daughter watch it and she really loved it too. It's s classic that holds up well.

I ordered this movie for my 13 year old son. It was one of my favorites as a child and I really wanted him to see it. It is now one of his favorites!!

I know that the original idea for the movie involved using Bruce Springsteen songs since Rocky Dennis was a fan of his; however, the movie was released with Bob Seger songs, and that is the way I remember it growing up. Taking the Seger songs out of the movie took away the nostalgia for me. Moreover, I believe the Bob Seger songs fit the movie much better than the Springsteen songs. I am a fan of Bruce Springsteen, but I believe his songs don't fit in the movie very well ... to be honest, I found them to be annoying. Furthermore, in my opinion, the extra scenes in the movie don't fit very well either. I watched this version once, but I have a copy of the original theatrical release of this movie, which is the version I will watch when I want to see this movie again. If I had known that Bob Seger's songs were removed from the Director's Cut version (and that there was no option to watch the original version on the dvd), I would have not purchased it.

A magnificent and completely wonderful film based on the life of physically handicapped (only because society made him so) teen Rocky Dennis.
That's all the summary I'm going to give because this is such a magical film from start to finish that to say anything more may take away from a first time viewer the surprise and amazement that comes with each passing scene.
I will say this, though, this is one of those rare movies where the casting job was done flawlessly. All the actors and actresses in this motion picture were born to play these roles. Eric Stoltz (Rocky), Cher (Rusty) and Sam Elliot (Gar) were particularly outstanding. Laura Dern also gives a brief, but very beautiful, performance as Rocky's very special love interest.
If you haven't seen this movie yet, PLEASE make it a point to do so as soon as possible. I assure you, you won't be disappointed.

GREAT STORY. ALL PERFORMERS WERE GREAT. ERIC STOLZ WAS GREAT. SAD AT THE END. SAM ELLIOTT WAS AWESOME.
