Just when you thought the humiliation of the school PE class was over, Mr Woodcock arrives on DVD from Entertainment In Video, to rent on 21st January 2008 and to buy on DVD and Blu-ray on 28th January.

This outrageous comedy stars Seann William Scott (American Pie films, The Dukes of Hazzard) as a self-help author who is horrified to discovers that his beloved mother (Academy Award® winner Susan Sarandon – Shall We Dance, Thelma & Louise) is dating his childhood nemesis (Billy Bob Thornton – Bad Santa, Love Actually, Intolerable Cruelty).

Featuring a hilarious supporting cast including Amy Poehler (Blades of Glory, TV’s Saturday Night Live) and Ethan Suplee (TV’s My Name is Earl), Mr Woodcock is directed by Craig Gillespie and produced by Bob Cooper and David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers).

For John Farley, author of the national bestseller Letting Go: Getting Past Your Past, the painful memories of his childhood have since been replaced by the self confidence gained from becoming a successful writer and motivational speaker.

When a last minute cancellation on his book tour gives him an unexpected day off, he decides to return home to surprise his mother, Beverly. John’s joy quickly turns to angst however when he discovers that his mother has fallen in love with none other than Mr Woodcock – the gruff, no-nonsense gym teacher who put him through years of mental and physical humiliation.

Mortified and panic-stricken at the thought of his mother marrying the one man he truly despises, John enlists the help of his old school mate, Jay Nedderman (Ethan Suplee), in a last-ditch attempt to take down Mr Woodcock.

The result is a series of hilarious confrontations that lead John to discover that one’s past is often hard to escape.
