I’m pleased to report Into the Woods has all the makings of theater magic. For starters, they nailed the casting. The woods prove towering, deep, and every inch a fairytale setting and the costumes are gorgeous.
24 Things We Learned from Joe Carnahan s Stretch Commentary This is as close to a rom-com as I ll probably ever do.

Stretch is an underseen and underappreciated action/comedy, but you don’t have to just take my word for it. Writer/director
Joe Carnahan says as much more than once on his commentary for the film. The fine folks at Kino Lorber have just released the film to Blu-ray for the first time, and hopefully that means more people will take the plunge for a fast, fun, and creatively chaotic ride. Its journey here has been a long one after bypassing theaters back in 2014 and getting dropped unceremoniously onto home video a year later, but better late than never.
