      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When Quincy Watson (Foxx) is fired from his job and dumped by his girlfriend, he becomes an instant expert on the subject of successfully breaking up in a men

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits an attractive, richly saturated color palette that offers natural fleshtones, vibrant hues and deep blacks. The picture is sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered textures and definition. There is some film grain inherent in the source element, providing a gritty appearance in the darker scenes, but dirt or other artifacts are not a problem. While there is no obtrusive pixelization, some edge enhancement is likely to distract finicky viewers from this otherwise very pleasing visual experience. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #45 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR because I enjoy configuring my home entertainment system myself. I don't have enough disposable income to buy all new components and hire an installer to set it all up. So, I have relied on WSR to guide me in almost all aspects of the (continual) upgrade process. I have always stayed glued to the reviews so that I can choose where my dollar is going to affect the greatest impact in my system. When you have a tight budget to work with, even the smallest purchase decisions make a difference.
