Why isn't this title on DVD? Best golf movie ever

"Move over Dorf and forget all about TIN CUP. DEAD SOLID PERFECT is the best golf movie ever made. It's on the same level as CADDYSHACK, only more mature, so as not to scare away the conservative duffers. Randy Quaid and Jack Warden are wonderful and Corinne Bohrer is the cutest thing to ever grace the links this side of Annika Sorenstam. It's criminal that DEAD SOLID PERFECT has not yet made an appearance on DVD. It's funny, it's got nice production values, great acting, drama, and Corinne Bohrer."
Forget Tin Cup, this movie is much better!

"It's an absolute shame that this movie is not out on DVD. Randy Quaid gives a great performance as an unfocused, over-partying bottom ranks PGA tour player whose marriage is on the rocks. This movie is a perfect blend of humor and drama. It is also as inspiring as Rudy and Hoosiers."
Funny, but weak.

"Although not his biggest commercial success, `Dead Solid Perfect' may be the funniest book written by one of this country's great talents, Dan Jenkins.In the text, there is a combination of comedic genius, and a true love for the subject matter, the game of golf. Add 50 some years of experience reporting on the game, and Mr. Jenkins has just about every aspect of this story nailed, cold.I know many who think one of his earlier books, Semi-Tough to be an exemplary piece of writing, I agree, but the film it produced turned out luke-warm as best. This film is better, although it can not be described with the superlatives of Jenkins original. Sometimes it's just impossible to capture the essence of such multi-layered characters on film in 2 hours or less.Not to knock Bobby Roth, or the two principals, Randy Quaid, and Jack Warden who both did good turns: Quaid as Kenny Lee, the talented but struggling tour golfer and Warden as "Bad-Hair' Wimberly, the cash-rich sponsor. For golf fans it's a good movie and certainly more honest and original than Tin Cup. For the rest I'd say only fair."
Why won't studios listen

"I watched the VHS version a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it and would place it up there with any sport movie. Randy Quaid plays the character of a party animal golfer to a tee. Why won't the studios listen to the public and release this as a DVD so those of us with taste can buy it to play it over and over."
