I wrote about this is my review of Mars Needs Moms however I felt it was funny enough to give it its own post. I had received a copy of Mars Needs Moms for review. I enjoy reviewing movies and DVD’s but sometimes I get behind and have to schedule time to watch them. This is what I had to do the other night in order to get everything done on time. When I received the DVD the first thing I noticed was that it said Blu-Ray and I thought to myself darn I forgot to mention I needed DVD. I didn’t worry though because my husband had told me that Blu-ray works with Xbox 360. So the kids and I settled in to watch or movie. Buddy popped in the movie and took a seat.
We realized soon that the movie wouldn’t play. NOTE: Blu-ray does not work in XBox 360. However since I had procrastinated on this review I really needed to watch the movie so I could get my review posted. Buddy suggested that we rent it so I got online and thankfully it was in at the Blockbuster kiosk at our local Publix. I ordered it online and Nick and I took the quick trip down to get the movie. So we get back home and settle back in to watch the movie. Nick was in charge of switching on the DVD’s. When we all sat down to watch it once again nothing would start. I was starting to get a little paranoid that someone did not want me to see this movie. We soon noticed however that Nick had taken out the old movie and never put back in the new movie.
I haven’t gotten to the funny part yet so just wait. So we are watching the movie and soon into the movie I voice of the mother was familiar and driving me crazy. I wanted to try to guess without looking it up. After about 10 minutes it hit me that the mother’s voice was Joan Cusack. Of course I wanted to be sure that I was write so I grabbed the case, and guess what I saw……
I did a double take and thought to myself does that say Blu-ray PLUS DVD? I open up the case and just start busting out laughing. The kids looked at me like I had two heads and asked what was so funny. So I didn’t say a word and just turned the case around for everyone to see.

haha, we all have those moments at some pint. I blame it on Mommy Brain!
BTW, I really enjoyed Mars Needs Moms – we saw it in the movies when it first came out. I need to buy it now that it’s out on Blu-Ray! 🙂

That is funny I always get the double pack this way the kids can watch it in whichever player they want. I did the same thing once though I put the blu-ray into the xbox and it obviously didn’t play. I then made a huge deal about going in the other room to watch it on the PS3, finally got myself all settled – Grabbed the box to check out the running time and seen the DVD starring me in the face…I just quickly closed the case and pressed play before my husband could see lol
