      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Also available in a full screen edition.

    Story Synopsis:
    Longfellow Deeds (Sandler) is a big-fisted, honest guy who doesn

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD offers a bright, colorful picture that nicely supports the lighthearted storytelling. Hues are rich and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are also nicely balanced. Images are sharp and detailed, allowing viewers to fully appreciate that no expense was spared on the sets. Sometimes, the picture appears a bit smeared. Still, there is a bit of pixelization noticed and edge enhancement can be offensive at times. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #108 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have been reading WSR for about two years now and especially enjoy the product review section. Although the other articles and review sections are generally well-written and informative, the product reviews give me an unbiased look at new technologies and products. Being in the home theatre design field, I look at many different sources for product ups and downs and find your magazine a very valuable resource in this area. Keep up the great work!!
