Video:

Seeing Other People is presented in anamorphic widescreen. The colors seem dull, but the rest of the transfer is acceptable.

Sound:

A Dolby 2.0 track is provided. The dialogue stands out throughout the disc, but the background sounds and music sound very muddy. Overall, a little disappointing, especially considering Sundance's solid track record in terms of technical achievement.

Extras:

We start with a full-length commentary by director/writer Wally Wolodarsky and writer Maya Forbes. The married couple starts off by pointing out that the film was not based on their life together, so that's a good sign. What's most refreshing about the track is how Wolodarsky is willing to own up to mistakes he made in the film (the early drop-in jokes, for instance, about Alice's former lovers). They both talk about the restraints of writing and directing on a low budget, as well.

There are also two minutes of deleted scenes, mainly has to do with Carl's work as a musician. They were deleted with good reason, but Richter does some great work.

The disc includes a behind-the-scenes featurette on the film. And by "behind-the-scenes featurette," I mean, "digital press kit cotton candy." Trailers for other Sundance films (including Dopamine and Melvin Goes to Dinner, - both films that come Highly Recommended by DVDTalk reviewers) round out the extras.

Final Thoughts:

Without Nicholson (or, more accurately, someone other than Nicholson in the role of "Alice"), Seeing Other People would look a lot like other romantic comedies on the market. But Nicholson, who won "Best Actress" at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival for her performance here, helps elevate the film into something seriously worth seeing.
