      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Prim and proper Jane Ryan (Ashley) is in New York for a speech competition, hoping to win a scholarship to Oxford University. But wait a Minute, her unruly twin sister Roxy (Mary-Kate) just happens to be cutting school and in the Big Apple at the same time. With the school's truant officer Mr. Lomax (Levy) closing in on Roxy and with Jane running out of time before her speech is due to start, the girls find themselves involved in one scandal after another, while discovering that they are much more alike than they ever could have imagined. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is bright and ultracolorful with a slick look that is eye candy for pre-teens. Reds and pinks pop from the screen, as do equally vivid blues and greens, with deep, solid blacks. The picture is also sharp and nicely detailed, with well balanced contrast and shadow delineation. While viewers will be hard-pressed to find any obtrusive edge enhancement, some pixelization and smearing is noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #71 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Before reading WSR I was an electronics nebbish. After reading WSR for more than a year, my friends and family consult me on purchasing TVs, sound systems, DVD players, and DVDs. I explain to them the differences between HDTV ready and capable, how to select a TV, DVD, and sound system and recommend that they become an expert like me by buying a copy of WSR. My life has new meaning!
