Conclusion: The Odd Couple II Blu-ray Review
I’ve no issues with the picture quality it’s excellent, a nice sharp, clean print and the colours look right. The only downsides right now are the fact the film is yet to receive a UK blu-ray release meaning you have to obtain the US region free version plus there are no extras included.
To be honest as long as the image quality is excellent I can forgive any release a lack of extras features.
