      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Dr. Henry Roth (Sandler) is living a dream life in paradise. Afraid of commitment, he lives his life happily enjoying a constant stream of one-night stands with just about any tourist who comes to town. But when he falls for local girl Lucy Whitmore (Barrymore), he learns that Lucy has short-term memory loss and doesn

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD picture exhibits bright colorful images that are complementary to the light storytelling. Hues are well balanced with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with satisfying contrast and shadow delineation. Only occasionally does the picture appear a bit flat or undefined. The picture is quite clean, with little edge enhancement or pixelization to distract. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #41 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I subscribed to WSR because I finished building my home theatre and no longer need to subscribe to magazines that give ideas on how to build a theatre. Widescreen Review focuses on the films I would like to see and the equipment I would like to upgrade. It is the next step to the home theatre experience.
