      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Also available in an Unrated edition.

    Story Synopsis:
    Gross-out sex comedies are going to have to work hard to parallel the smut in this one.

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a colorful, bright picture, with hues that are well balanced and fully saturated. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with good contrast and shadow delineation. Edge enhancement is not much of a problem with this DVD, but there is some pixelization noticed. Overall, the picture is quite satisfying for the gross-out hijinks. (Suzanne Hodges) Also includes a modified 1.33:1 version (not reviewed).

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #94 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Hi, I eagerly anticipate and then devour each issue. The articles, letters, and reviews are not the typical cookie-cutter-style that all the other clones publish. The movie reviews are a huge influence on our buying and renting. It is wonderful how thorough you are in breaking them down. I also thoroughly enjoy Terry Paullin's column, as well as the upcoming movies. Keep up the wonderful work. Thanks!
