    August 31, 2009: This DVD would not play on our new Samsung DVD player. We could see the opening, but when we selected a scene and pressed "play", the sound stopped. We could see the DVD, but could not hear anything.

    I really wanted to rate it "zero" stars, but I don't know if that is an option.

    I think this whole batch of DVDs may be defective. We had bought one at Sam's that would not work and returned it to the store. A salesman opened a new DVD in the store and tried to play it there---that one would not play on their store player, so he was taking all of his off the shelf. He refunded our money.

    My son went to B&N to buy one for my husband's birthday. Alas, it was defective as well.
