Comparison:

  • Theatrical Version
  • Unrated Version
Release: Mar 28, 2008 - Author: Muck47 - Translator: DeeKay - external link: IMDB
First things first: No, we donīt have additional sex scenes with Jessica Alba in the unrated version. Sorry.
The new material is not overwhelming anyway, although it features some more sex scenes or additional shots.

It is quite interesting to know that the directors cut has a sticker on it promising "Over 35 minutes of footage too outrageous for theaters!". Well, donīt get cocky - the feature film has only got 2 more minutes added, the rest 33 Minutes is bonus material only.

For this report, we compared theatrical version and unrated version .


Letīs take a look at the total running times first:
Theatrical version (US-DVD, NTSC): 99:18 min incl. end credits
Unrated version (US-DVD in NTSC): 101:16 min incl. end credits

9 scenes have changed after all, including

* 6 scenes with alternate material
* 6 potential censorship cuts
* 3 extended plot scenes

After the George W. Bush gag, the movie continues with Charlie inside his car. Directors cut shows Charlie approx. 1 second later, when he is looking into the rear mirror and recognizing the police car.


Unrated

An additional sex scene with a excessively religious woman and a short preview of her next day.
The woman is screaming "Oh, God!" twice, then you see Charlie working under her, repeating her phrase and replying to it.

The woman continues talking in the next shot: "Oh, Jesus Christ, almighty! God, my savior! I shall adore thee from now until forever more!" Charlie is a looking a little puzzled by now already, as the woman is now raising her hands praying to the lord: "Oh! Amen!".
"Would you like to pray with me now?"
Confused Charlie refuses, shaking his head: "Uh...no."

The next day, we see the woman again reading a book. A man with the same book is joining her, they are looking at each other. You can see from the look on the womanīs face that she appearantly found Mr. Right in this very moment.
