School for Scoundrels Unrated Ballbuster Edition DVD Review
Dimension
Review Posted on February 9th, 2007

What do you get when you combine Napoleon Dynamite, Bad Santa, Horatio Sanz, Sarah Silverman, Ben Stiller, Michael Clarke Duncan, and the creator of Old School? You get one of the funniest films of the year in School for Scoundrels, that's what smart ass! In this hilarious flick Jon Heder stars yet again as a complete loser that's destined to a confidance-building class that's taught by none other than Billy Bob Thornton. The two's egos end up going head to head to prove who's the bigger man, and the result will leave you on the floor crying. It's a good thing this movie is about to be released on DVD too, because you do NOT want to be stuck to the movie theater floors! Speaking of DVDs, I've got the "School for Scoundrals: Unrated Ballbuster Edition" sitting in front of me and I must say I'm quite impressed with the final product. Let's take a gander at what you'll be getting when you pick this bad boy up in a few days, shall we?



The unrated Ballbuster Edition is just that, unrated. That means more vulgarity, more stuff you could have never seen in the theatrical version, and more importantly more of the good stuff. While the unrated aspect is always nice to have to show off in your dorm room, the special features is where the real value is at. First and foremost Dimension really went the extra mile by trowing in a sweet alternate ending, which honestly you don't see very often even if you're a DVD reviewer like me. Aside from that you're also getting a very cool "Making-Of" that's also unrated, and tons of feature commentary from Writer/Director Todd Phillips and Writer Scot Armstrong. Oh and they also threw in a gag reel and the theatrical trailer for some more icing on the cake. Overall, I'm very impressed with the effort and thoroughly happy with the final product. This film is a must have for every DVD collection, without a doubt. Throw in the unrated edition with an awesome alternate ending and a ton more high quality special features, and you've even more reasons why School for Scoundrels: Unrated Ballbuster Edition deserves a spot in your collection! Pick this one up today folks, or for those of you are broke you can take home a free contest copy in the CD forums!
