Is School of Rock and Orange County worth a blind purchase?


I have not seen either one of these and really want to. I am trying to cut down on my blind purchases but Circuit City has a combo pack for $24.99 for both movies. Are they worth the blind purchase?

Netflix and you will never have to blind buy again.
I am a reformed blind buyer and netflix helped me. Blockbuster did not because they are just a rip.
Orange county was amusing but I would not buy it. Rent. Have not seen School yet but it is in my que

I have tried Netflix before and for some reason did not really like it, plus at my local store, NEVER will I rent from Blockbuster or Hollywood Video,they have rent one get one free coupons that I always use. Maybe I'll just go with the rental.

I think School of Rock is strong enough for a blind purchase. I found it to be a lot of fun. I didn’t like Orange County at all, Jack Black is funny but the rest of the film wasn’t. But since you don’t know my taste in film and I don’t know your’s I guess make them rentals first.

^Yeah I agree. I love School of Rock. Didn't mind Orange County - but it's more of a rental.

I liked both of them. School of Rock has a bit more depth to it, but Orange County is funny, but it's a bit more irreverent and silly.

School of Rock is a great film, and looks to be a great DVD.

I haven't seen Orange County though.

I didn't care much for Orange County, but I love School of Rock more with each viewing.

School of Rock is most definately worthy of a blind buy. Orange County however is not in my opinion + it can usually be found for $9.99 now anyway in many stores, so you would only be saving a $1 anyway considering Best Buy and Circuit City both have School of Rock for $15.99 this week
