ET Online has revealed when A.C.O.D. will hit shelves next year. Continue reading to find out all the details!

Parks and Recreation stars Adam Scott and Amy Poehler share the big screen with an all-star roster in the divorce comedy A.C.O.D., making its debut on Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand January 14, 2014 (and available on Digital January 3) from Paramount Home Media Distribution.

The A.C.O.D. Blu-ray includes access to a digital copy of the film as well as the following special features: Amy Poehler Outtakes; Cast & Crew Discussion; and fun Public Service Announcements: Coping with A.C.O.D.; Be Proud to be an A.C.O.D.; Have You Seen a Shaman?; Are You Awesome?; Commitment-Phobic?; and What Does A.C.O.D. Stand For?
A.C.O.D. stands for Adult Children of Divorce. The film follows Scott’s character, Carter, a successful and well-adjusted adult as he attempts to reunite his bitterly divorced parents (acrimoniously played by Richard Jenkins and Catherine O’Hara in spot-on performances) for the sake of his younger brother’s (Clark Duke) somewhat abrupt wedding plans. Despite having a solid relationship with his supportive girlfriend (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Carter finds distraction in another woman (Jessica Alba) and the chaos of the whole situation threatens to derail his sanity.

Poehler plays the young wife of Carter’s father who is pretty much the same age as him, and Jane Lynch adds additional comic relief as a therapist who uses Carter’s case as fodder for her books. The film is directed by Stuart Zicherman (ABC’s Six Degrees) and co-written by Zicherman and Modern Family producer/writer Ben Karlin.

Remember! The Spectacular Now will also hit shelves on January 14 so it’ll be a great day to buy Mary’s latest films! 🙂 Which one are you guys looking most forward to owning?

In a new press release, A.C.O.D. has been picked up by studio distributors Film Arcade & Paramount and will release the film theatrically in North America.

The Film Arcade and Paramount Home Media Distribution announced today the acquisition of the breakout Sundance comedy A.C.O.D. The Film Arcade will release the film theatrically throughout North America and Paramount Home Media Distribution will manage domestic home entertainment, television licensing and digital distribution, as well as all international distribution.

A.C.O.D., which comedically explores the world of Adult Children of Divorce, marks the directorial debut of Stuart Zicherman (creator of J.J. Abrams/ABC’s “Six Degrees”), who co-wrote the script with Ben Karlin, a producer and writer on “Modern Family” and previously on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”. The film features an all-star cast of comedic talent including Adam Scott (“Parks and Recreation”, Friends with Kids), Richard Jenkins (Step Brothers), Catherine O’Hara (For Your Consideration), Amy Poehler (“Parks and Recreation”), Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four), Jane Lynch (“Glee”), Clark Duke (“The Office”) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim vs the World). Teddy Schwarzman’s Black Bear Pictures (Broken City, upcoming At Any Price) fully financed A.C.O.D. and Schwarzman produced the film alongside Karlin and Tim Perell.

A.C.O.D. follows Carter (Scott), a seemingly well-adjusted Adult Child of Divorce. Having
survived the madness of his parents’ (Jenkins and O’Hara) divorce, Carter now has a successful career and supportive girlfriend (Winstead). But when his younger brother (Duke) gets engaged, Carter is forced to reunite his bitterly divorced parents for the wedding, causing the chaos of his childhood to return.

“A.C.O.D. is one of the funniest Sundance films we’ve seen and the audience at its premiere laughed the whole way through”, said The Film Arcade partners. “Stu and his incredible cast have shown us that divorce hurts until you laugh. We look forward to bringing this entertaining film to audiences and adding ‘A.C.O.D.’ to the pop-culture lexicon.”

“We are thrilled that The Film Arcade and Paramount are distributing A.C.O.D.” said
Schwarzman. “We look forward to working closely with both companies, and are so excited for audiences worldwide to see this memorable comedy.”

A release date has yet to be announced.

Sundance London, the film and music festival whose sophomore edition kicks off next month, has added three features to its roster. Stuart Zicherman’s A.C.O.D. starring Adam Scott, Richard Jenkins, Catherine O’Hara, Amy Poehler, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Clark Duke; Sean Ellis’ Sundance Audience Award winner Metro Manila; and Jeff Nichols’ Mud, which premiered in Cannes last year before bowing Stateside in the Spotlight section of Sundance 2013.
