Universal has announced Hit & Run for Blu-Ray in January. The film stars Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell, Bradley Cooper, Tom Arnold and Jason Bateman.
Dax Shepard certainly has his own brand of cool and his own idea of what comedy is. His latest directorial effort Hit & Run (co-directed with David Palmer) tries to play freely and wildly, but doesn’t quite pan out. It’s mostly harmless and sort of entertaining because of Tom Arnold’s freak-outs and Bradley Cooper‘s weird hair, but not once does the film’s core characters, played by Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell, give you anything to root for.
It’s messy, with some redeeming qualities. It was shot on the super cheap end though, so don’t expect much crying from Shepard and the bunch.
Our very own Jonathan Lack had this to say about the film in his review:
Hit & Run has a clear, entertaining vision and is made with a strong, unique voice, something missing from too many films these days. It is not quite a great film, but it is a very good one, and I absolutely recommend it as one of the most satisfying cinematic experiences of the summer.
I really wish I could have the same things to say about the film, but perhaps the eventual Blu release will change my blackened heart?
The Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack will come with the following supplements:
- Deleted Scenes
- Street Legal: Behind the scenes look with writer/co-director/star Dax Shepard and star Kristen Bell
- Run and Gun: An in depth explanation of the plot of Hit and Run with Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell
- Love on the Run: Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell discuss the romantic aspects of Hit and Run.
You can purchase Hit & Run on January 8th, 2013.
