      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Movie star Tad Hamilton (Duhamel) is the hunk of Hollywood, but he has a bad boy image to improve. He is convinced to participate in a dating contest that benefits a charity and Rosalee Futch (Bosworth), a cute Piggly Wiggly checkout girl from West Virginia, jumps at the chance to enter the contest. What Rosalee didn

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD picture is nicely saturated with rich hues, accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. Images are sharp and detailed and can exhibit nicely rendered textures. Unfortunately, the picture can have a pasty appearance at times, lacking natural, open definition. Some pixel breakup is detected, but edge enhancement is minimal. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #86 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it offers in-depth, techno nerd detail level views and information about technology; integrated with a plain, easy-to-understand newbie explanation. The combination helps keep the inexperienced and experts alike informed, up-to-date, and market aware. Without Widescreen Review, I'd be just another large electronics store item purchasing sheep. Thank you for shepherding me towards the light.
