      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When we first meet New York journalist Jessica (Westfeldt), she is fed up with searching for an intelligent, attractive date. Nearing desperation, she happens upon an intriguing personal ad...only trouble is, it

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits an appealing picture, with images that are sharp and nicely detailed. Colors are rich and warm, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely balanced. While, overall, the picture has a relaxed, easy-on-the-eyes appearance, edge enhancement that can be a problem. Minor pixelization is also noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby
