Fresh, funny and racy, Spread is a look at the trials and tribulations of sleeping your way to a life of privilege in Los Angeles. Nikki (Ashton Kutcher) is a fun-loving, freeloading hipster who understands his greatest assets are his looks and sexual prowess. His latest conquest, Samantha (Anne Heche), a stunning middle-aged lawyer, gives Nikki more than he’s ever had before. But when Heather (Margarita Levieva), a gorgeous waitress playing the same game, catches his eye, their lifestyles force a choice between love and money. Nikki has to decide whether he can live on his own once and for all in the hopes of finding something real.

Spread [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers
I rented this movie the first day of release, simply because I was there, and I like Ashton. I actually had never heard of it prior to seeing it for rent. Boy was I surprised when I saw it!!!! I decided I would own it at some point to keep in my collection. Glad I have one now.
Perfect for a mindless evening with ice cream – Robert D. Steele – Oakton, VA United States This is a definite “B” level movie, nice sets, nice bodies, some unexpected but totally non-erotic sex scenes.
Worth viewing if you have nothing else on the table.
It was not a bad movie at all – Gabriel – San Diego, CA United States Living in Los Angeles can be rough and a lot of guys have to live like he portrayed in this movie.
The Open Road [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers My daughter absolutely adores Justin Timberlake and she said this is the best present she could ever receive. The movie brought me to tears and we both definitely recommend this movie. Check Save Price!
Movie was average, but the Blu couldn’t sell me either – Steve Kuehl – Ben Lomond, CA I am a big Jeff Bridges fan and appreciate everything he has done and such, but I didn’t feel grabbed by this one at all. Not that there were horrible performances or bad film making, it just had a slew of little things peppered throughout that made me not give this the above average recommendation.
The story follows a minor league ball player (Timberlake) suffering a slump, who has to get his famous big league dad (Bridges) to make a final visit to his estranged and dying ex-wife. Through some poorly staged events, they have to make it a road trip together across several states (instead of flying) to make this union happen. The scenery is quite beautiful in some of the sequences, and it even upstages some of the sparse dialogue as the long-parted kin find a way to re-connect. Kate Mara is the tag-along friend who offers the love interest of Timberlake, but the chemistry never materializes in ways it should have.
The Blu quality is average to below average, with the strong showing being the opening aerial shot of the baseball game (must have used a different camera – they usually seem to in those kinds of scenes). Some of the color/contrasts in the open road shots shine nicely, but the amount of indoor and dark sequences show several weaknesses. The 5.1 is uneventful, and the only supplement offers little insight other than some typical fluff. Did not get to the commentary as I could not venture sitting through this twice. Three for the film content and Mr. Bridges (the supporting cast of Steenburgen and Harry Dean Stanton are not present enough to warrant dissecting their screen time). I love road films so maybe this will give you some light entertainment on a slow night. Check Save Price!
