Title: Play the 4K as soon as you receive it. Defective disk
Review: Great movie and the 4K is cleaner than previous releases. unfortunately and I have never had this before on a 4K disk but this one freezes during the last 5 minutes of the movie. May be just a little too much data on the disk unless it is duped at the factory perfectly.

Title: That's what friends are for!
Review: "The moment I wake up, before I put on my makeup; I say a little prayer for you." This is one of my favorite romantic comedies and Julia Roberts' best performance in a rom/com. It is not what I would call a chick flick as I believe this film appeals equally to both men and women. It has much to recommend it but as I sort through the strengths of the film, including the story, the performances and the direction, I keep going back to the sound track as the biggest highlight. There are several Burt Bacharach/Hal David songs sprinkled throughout, "Wishin' and Hopin'", "I'll Never Fall in Love Again", "I say a Little Prayer (for You)" and others. The wedding party version of "I Say a Little Prayer" is the absolute highlight of the film musically and comically...and is one of the funniest scenes on film! In addition to a fine comic performance by Roberts, also look for superb performances from Cameron Diaz, Dermot Mulroney; and the best performance in the movie, by Rupert Everett....who got an Oscar nomination as a reward. The secondary support performances are also excellent, including Rachel Griffiths and Carrie Preston who play profane sisters; and Paul Giamatti in a small, but important role as a hotel bellman. In addition to the Bacharach/David songs, listen for the Jerome Kern/Dorothy Fields standard, "The Way You Look Tonight" first sung by Fred Astaire to Ginger Rogers in the movie, "Swing Time"...."Someday, when I'm awfully low, when the world is cold; I will feel aglow just thinking of you, the way you look tonight." Nominated for AFI's "Top 100 Laughs" this film carries my highest recommendation.

Review: Excelente transfer a 4K de una de las comedias románticas más populares de los 90's; la carta fuerte también estriba en que el disco 4K incluye material extra que por lo regular viene contenido en el disco Blu Ray o en su defecto en DVD. La película, todo un clásico con Julia Roberts que nos da un bello mensaje sobre aprender a soltar. La calidad de audio y video son excelentes, con los toques obvios de una película de hace algunas décadas.

Review: To those who have seen this DVD it may be recalled that in the first scene it is established that Julianne's editor, George, is gay which is said in a flippant superficial conversation and this metaphor is repeated on four occasions throughout the film. The next of those scenes is in the taxi after the Groom has a fitting for his suit, but, two points come across; one is that being gay is a misconception while the other is that he, George, enjoys acting as gay; it is a ploy to hide his love for Julianne. Those are plants set to fully comprehend the theme of the story and its final resolution.The third scene is at dinner with the Bride's family and friends where the Bride relates the tales she heard from the Groom about the past behaviour of Julianne which is clearly fiction. At this juncture George tells the tale of how he and Julianne met which seems to reveal that he is gay but this too is obviously fiction and another ploy to mislead as he is astutely playing the game of hiding his love for Julianne but is also protecting her from further embarrassment. In the final scene when George approaches Julianne on the dance floor, he continues this act by saying, '...and although you quite correctly sense that he is gay (referring to the cameo part being played as a gay) you think, "What the hell?" Life goes on. Maybe there won't be marriage. Maybe there won't be sex (at this point he grimaces) but, by god, there will be dancing!'The film is not about a love triangle but about a man's love for a woman and how he succeeds at winning her. George is in love with Julianne but recognises her infatuation for her long-term male friend. He recognises that he has to be patient so plays with her at her game anticipating hopefully the final outcome; this is why he takes a plane and flies quite a distance even though he does not like flying. He wants to be by her side when she is in difficulty and it will be noticed that he was always there. He cares deeply about her and so too do the Bride and Groom towards each other. George's and Julianne's attraction for each other in the final scene is that of a heterosexual couple.While this is an enjoyable romantic comedy that expresses affection and love yet also highlights the caring aspect of all good relationships; it is a modern sophisticated 'Me Tarzan, you Jane' story well acted by all involved.
