      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    From the zany mind of John Waters (A Dirty Shame), good-girl Allison Vernon-Williams (Locane) is all shook up when she sees bad-boy Wade

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits a slightly soft appearance, but details are satisfactory overall. The color scheme, which tends to look slightly pink at times, affecting fleshtones and whites, seems to be well-balanced otherwise, and can be richly saturated. Pixelization is minimal, and there is rarely any signs of obtrusive edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Typical of most Dolby

    Reason #125 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review for the up-to-date info on HDTV, HDTV recording, projector reviews, HDTV receiver reviews (though those are few!), amplifier, and pre-amp reviews, and, of course, DVD/D-VHS movie reviews! I respect most about your writing the total honesty in your reviews. Supplying the most truthful opinions and facts mark you as one of the best in your field!
