Cold Comfort Farm (DVD Widescreen) [DVD] [Standard]

Funny Farm [DVD]

An aging comedian tours the California desert, lost in a cycle of third-rate venues, novelty tourist attractions, and vain attempts to reach his estranged daughter. By day, he slogs through the barren landscape, inadvertently alienating every acquaintance. At night, he seeks solace in the animation of his onstage persona. Fueled by the promise of a lucrative Hollywood engagement and the possibility of rekindling a relationship with his daughter, he trudges through a series of increasingly surreal and volatile encounters.

E.B. White's tale of loyalty, friendship and sacrifice comes to life in this adaptation that mixes live action with computer-generated imagery. After he is raised by loving farmgirl Fern (Dakota Fanning), misfit pig Wilbur is moved into a barn inhabited by offbeat animals. But when he discovers that he is destined to become dinner, his spider pal Charlotte sets out to change his fate. With the voices of Julia Roberts, Steve Buscemi, John Cleese, Oprah Winfrey, and Robert Redford. 96 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack English.
