      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In an age when only men anchored the news, Ron Burgundy (Ferrell) and San Diego

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits satisfying quality for the lighthearted storytelling. While some scenes appear undefined, others are generally sharp with satisfying detail. Colors are well balanced with accurate fleshtones, vibrant hues, and deep blacks. Pixelization can be noticed at times, as well as minor edge enhancement.

    Soundtrack:
    Typical of DVDs of this genre, the Dolby

    Reason #73 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I like the movie reviews, and I like the equipment tests. I enjoy the interviews with manufacturers. I also feel that you are a good source for what is coming out next, trends etc. I think you dig a little deeper in your tests of equipment. Sometimes I have to read between the lines, and I know why you don't slam some company's gear. You have more interesting reading.
