“MR. WOODCOCK zings with its nearly nonstop, crude humor”
- Stephen Schaefer, The Boston Herald
LOS ANGELES, CA (October 29, 2007) – Just when you thought the humiliation of grade school gym class was over, Mr. Woodcock arrives on DVD from New Line Home Entertainment on January 15, 2008. The sadistic comedy stars Seann William Scott (Southland Tales, American Pie films) as a self-help author who returns home to learn that his beloved mother (Susan Sarandon; Shall We Dance, Thelma & Louise) is dating the one man he truly despises – his degrading childhood gym teacher and nemesis, Mr. Woodcock (Billy Bob Thornton; Bad Santa, Friday Night Lights). Featuring a hilarious supporting cast including Amy Poehler (Blades of Glory, TV’s Saturday Night Live) and Ethan Suplee (TV’s My Name is Earl, Blow), the widescreen edition will be available at a $28.98 SRP, and both the Blu-ray Disc and forthcoming HD DVD will be available at a $35.99 SRP. Experience the physical degradation firsthand with bonus features including a “Making-of” documentary, P.E. “Trauma Tales” and deleted scenes. The order due date is December 4, 2007.
John Farley (Scott), a self-help author, returns to his hometown only to discover that his mother (Sarandon) has fallen in love with his old high school nemesis, Mr. Woodcock (Thornton) – the gruff, no-nonsense gym teacher who had put him through years of mental and physical humiliation. Determined to prevent history from repeating itself, John sets out to stop his mother from marrying the man who made his life miserable.
