    I'd like a clean version of Good Will Hunting. I always crack up at the network version of the scene where they've bought burgers and the kid in the back seat keeps asking for his "burger sandwich".

    The answer would seem to be self-explanatory. If you bought unrated, you intentionally bought the version created prior to the studio having to edit it to meet a desired rating by the MPAA. The "clean" version is the one further edited to make the video suitable for a wider viewing audience per the FCC. If you intentionally bought a movie with zero edits on purpose, why should they think you might want the version with more edits than the silver screen?

    By the way, what's with all the crying about the art and the banner? How much time do you spend admiring the thumbnail anyway? Watch the one you paid for or watch the freebie edit, but quit complaint about the free handout because you don't like the picture. Sheesh

    You didn't read the moderator's post earlier. The answer is there.

    Re: Announcing Clean Versions?

    I was very happy to see this feature introduced on Vudu. I am the rare adult who takes content into account in deciding what movies to watch. I decline to see many movies that I want to see simply because they contains explicit sex or nudity, graphic violence, or language. Call me old fashioned, but I just don't want to expose myself to that stuff (let alone my kids). So I thought that this would finally allow me to see some of the movies that I have wanted to see. (And I don't want to hear any arguments about artistic integrity. These clean versions are products that the studios have made available to television stations and airlines for decades. Those markets contribute to the bottom line, which allows the studios to fund these productions in the first place. This is merely expanding the market for movies which means more money, which means more movies. Those who don't want the clean versions don't have to watch them, those who do can. Everybody wins.)

    However, when I looked on the page for one of the movies with a clean version (Elysium), I saw that the clean version is a VUDU Extra, which, if I understand correctly, is only available to those who OWN the movie, not to those who RENT the movie. That's disappointing because I certainly don't intend to buy a movie I have never seen just to get access to the clean version.

    I think that this is a great service that people are willing to pay for (services like CleanFlix and VidAngel keep cropping up because there is a market here). I want to see it succeed and expand to more movies and studios. I am certainly willing to pay the rental fee to watch some of these movies (and perhaps even buy it if I like the movie enough), but I don't want to buy a movie without seeing it first.

    Please allow me to pay you to rent the clean version of these movies.

It looks tacky and awful when scrolling through my library.

    Couldn't you come up with a different solution VUDU, as to not subject the rest of us who find this feature pointless so we don't have to look at it on the artwork? Similar to the way movies are tagged with "VUDU UHD" or the red Sale tags? Couldn't something be made along those lines to go above the artwork, rather than actually on it? The artwork on the Clean Version in the VUDU extras, I have no problem with, as I will never have to look at it.

    The feature itself, I'll never use it. Especially concerning Rated-R content. The counter "but my kids can watch it", even edited down or "cleaned", the content of such films like Easy A or Captain Philips isn't appropriate for a child anyways. Stop letting TV/Film raise your children and do some actual parenting yourself. And if you're an adult who wants to watch a censored version of a movie... I'm just baffled at that idea and wonder why you even purchased the movie to begin with.
    100% agreed. The reason I shy away from the "Bundle & Saves" too.

    Seriously, it's bad enough we have to deal with artwork changing every time the studios decide to do a new release of movies, why do we have to have the "+ Clean Version" banner too? I think it's fine that you are offering these versions without any additional cost, but I don't want it or need it, and I really don't want to see it. These are the little things that really hinder digital collecting from becoming the preferred method.

    Seriously a clean version of "White House Down" once you scrub the violence and curse words it's gonna be a quick five minute movie. Might as well do a clean version of "50 Shades of Grey" and "Scarface" too.

    Although while I'm thinking about it how about the animated movie "Sausage Party" I'm sure the kiddies will love to see that one.

    Re: Announcing Clean Versions?

    Since I noticed the "Cleaned Version" has a symbol on it's page, I decided to do a quick mock-up of what I was referring to.

    Surely this attached to each profile:



    ... looks a lot cleaner than seeing that banner on all the artwork:

Nobody that cares about film as an art wants to see +Clean Version while scrolling through their library. I can see how it can be helpful to those scrolling through their library looking for "clean versions", but there's an area of the Vudu store under collections which highlights all "clean versions," and that should be enough. ESPECIALLY since some of these films now called "clean" may not be considered family appropriate regardless, there are still suggestive scenes in a few of these edited films. I hope the cover art will be reverted back to original art after some time.

    I was looking at the list of titles of "clean versions" but I didn't realize that most of these titles had "dirty version"?

    53 UHD
    787 HDX
    2 SD

    Re: Announcing Clean Versions?

    Clean versions will NOT replace any current versions that we carry. It's simply an added bonus under Vudu Extras for titles that have clean versions available. In the case of Ghostbusters 2, the version that's available has not been altered in any way. We will have the clean version soon and that will be listed under Vudu Extras once we receive that encode from the studio. We did have to alter the cover art to show that a clean version is available, hence "+ Clean Version". If you go into Vudu Extras, you will see that clean versions of movies have a green bar on the top of the cover art and clearly states "Clean Version". I hope this clears things up for you guys.
