Accidental Inventions (DVD)
This fun and educational program looks at how 10 historically important inventions were stumbled onto accidentally--from dynamite, to Velcro, to Teflon, to microwaves. These fascinating stories of failed tablecloths (Cellophane) and malfunctioning superglue (Post-It Notes) prove that sometimes an open mind is the most effective scientific tool.
MEET THE PARENTS stars Ben Stiller as the unfortunately named Greg Focker, a neurotic nurse intent on marrying his girlfriend, Pam (Teri Polo). But when the couple visits Pam's family home for her sister's wedding, he must first win the approval of her father, Jack (Robert De Niro), a protective ex-CIA agent. Before long, the awkward Greg and the suspicious Jack go head-to-head, resulting in hilarious scenes that feature a lie detector test, a suburban car chase, a toilet-trained cat, and a mean game of water volleyball. As the misunderstandings and mistakes reach an almost nightmarish peak, it seems as though Greg may never win over Pam's unflinching guardian.Featuring the inspired pairing of Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller (and an excellent appearance by Owen Wilson), director Jay Roach's clever comedy exemplifies every man's worst fears about courtship. When things for Stiller's character get bad, they just continue to get worse, culminating in a ridiculously funny airport scene. In the tradition of ANNIE HALL and FLIRTING WITH DISASTER, MEET THE PARENTS is an intelligent yet slapstick comedy about the eccentricities of the American family.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseSingle Side - Dual LayerAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital 5.1 - French DTS Surround 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.
