      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Joe Scheffer (Allen) is pretty much a nobody at the office. Despite his thankless job, Joe still opts to bring his daughter Natalie (Panettiere) to Bring Your Daughter To Work Day, but is humiliated in front of her by the office bully. Mild-mannered Joe Nobody isn

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a bright and colorful picture, with natural fleshtones and deep blacks. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with well-balanced contrast and shadow delineation. There are only occasional signs of pixelization, but edge enhancement can be bothersome. (Suzanne Hodges) A modified 1.33:1 version (not reviewed) is included on the disc

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #63 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am an older guy who had not bought any A/V equipment for the last 14 years. I was really out of the loop as to what was happening. Did not even own a DVD player until now. This summer, my wife and I decided to build a small home theatre in our basement. Widescreen Review has been an invaluable research partner. The room was completed in mid September and now Widescreen Review can really show its stuff. The extensive DVD reviews are the final word for us when picking movies to watch. The news and equipment reviews keep us current, as we start down the never-ending path of upgrade-itis. Thanks for a great magazine.
