Fox Home Entertainment will release "The Savages" on DVD this April 22. The film stars Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman, and it earned two Academy Award nominations (Best Original Screenplay and Best Actress).

Extras will include an "About The Savages" featurette, "Director's Snapshots," and a "Deleted Scene: Burt and Lizzie Uncut."

Synopsis:
Academy Award winner Philip Seymour Hoffman* and Academy Award nominee Laura Linney** deliver unforgettable performances in this hilarious coming-of-middle age story from Oscar - nominated writer/director Tamara Jenkins***. Until recently, all John and Wendy Savage (Hoffman, Linney) had in common were a lousy childhood and a few strands of DNA. But after years of drifting apart, they're forced to band together to care for the elderly, cantankerous father who made their formative "challenging." In the process, both of these aimless, perpetually adolescent fortysomethings may just, at long last, have to grow up! *2005: Best Actor, Capote **2007: Best Actress, The Savages; 2004 Best Supporting Actress, Kinsey; 2000: Best Actress, You Can Count on Me. ***2007: Best Original Screenplay, The Savages.
