The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee - BLU-RAY [Standard]

Beyond homesickness for Australia, eightyish '80s celeb Paul Hogan (playing a fictionalized version of himself) was pretty much used to quiet retirement in L.A. However, between his angry granddaughter's insistence he accept the knighthood he declined, and pushy producers trying to land his participation in a InchCrocodile DundeeInch reboot, the quiet's about to end. Self-referential farce co-stars John Cleese, Chevy Chase, Olivia Newton-John, Reginald VelJohnson, Wayne Knight. 88 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Warm, wise, and wonderful ensemble comedy from Ron Howard celebrates the eternal parent-child relationship through the ups and downs of the Buckman family hard-working father-of-three Gil (Steve Martin), his wife Karen (Mary Steenburgen), his divorced sister Helen (Dianne Wiest), gambler younger brother Larry (Tom Hulce), and acerbic family patriarch Frank (Jason Robards). Delightful cast also includes Rick Moranis, Keanu Reeves, Martha Plimpton, Joaquin Phoenix. 124 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; featurettes; theatrical trailer. Two-disc set.

Hired by an ambitious small-town pastor to find sacred relics in the Holy Land, a self-proclaimed Biblical archaeologist comes up short and his attempt to cover up his failure fuels a comic conspiracy from the filmmaking team behind Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre.
