I purchased this DVD back in February as a gift for my mother. It wasnt until December that she decided to open it and watch it. When she put it in the DVD player, it would not load and the DVD player said "BAD DISC". Other DVDs work fine - it is just this disc that will not load/play. This was a waste of money since I can no longer return or exchange it. I recommend trying out DVDs as soon as you get them in case you experience the same issue. (On another note: I saw the movie in the theater, and loved it!)
