      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Hello, Mrs. Robinson! Oscar Grubman (Stanford) is an intelligent fifteen-year-old boy who is definitely interested in the opposite sex; except the girls his own age don't interest him at all. His father Stanley (Ritter) has recently remarried, and his 40-something-year-old step-mother Eve (Weaver) is the object of Oscar

    DVD Picture:
    Shot in DV, the anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a picture that lacks fine detail and definition. Colors appear

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #123 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for the articles—honest. Terry Paullin's industry insight is refreshing and lively. The lack of comparisons of which home theatre-in-a-box is best or which sub $200 DVD player is best leaves more room for in-depth product and movie reviews. Most importantly, though, I read WSR for the caricature of Gary Reber morphed on to the movie featured on the cover in the Editor's Couch page. Pierce Brosnan had better watch out!
