He might not look like much, but it's what's inside that counts. Comic genius Rob Schneider (Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, Big Daddy), TV's "Survivor" Colleen Haskell, John C. McGinley (Any Given Sunday, The Rock) and Edward Asner (The Bachelor, JFK) star in the most outrageous and hysterical comedy of the year.

When evidence clerk Marvin Mange (Schneider) answers a 911 call of a burglary in progress, his dream of one day becoming a cop seems to be coming true. But a freak car accident en route to the crime leaves Marvin and his dream a shattered mess. When Marvin awakens a week later, he finds that a deranged scientist secretly used animal organs to rebuild his broken body. Energized by his new and improved parts, Marvin achieves instant fame as a super cop until his animal instincts start taking over his body at all the wrong times. And when he finds himself falling for the lovely and sexy Rianna (Haskell), it's animal magnetism at its craziest in the funniest and wildest comedy of the year!

Easter Eggs
From the disc's main menu, go to the 'Special Features/Animal Treats' section, where you go to the second page. Now, select the 'What's in Marvin?' menu entry and press 'Enter' to start the feature. Once it is done, the menu re-appears with a Lion's head highlighted. From there, press the arrow 'Up' key on your remote control twice to highlight a red paw in the upper left hand corner of the screen. If you press 'Enter' now, you have the chance to see a 2:25 minute long scene of Marvin and Dr. Wilder, edited together from a series of deleted scenes.
