      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Bridget Jones (Zellweger) has gone beyond The Edge Of Reason this time. Her boyfriend Mark Darcy (Firth) absolutely adores her, but she can't believe that she can ever fit into his world. However, after going to Thailand with the smooth cad Daniel Cleaver (Grant) she realizes how lucky she was and what a fool she has been. Now Bridget must figure out a way to prove to Mark that she's the right one for him, before it's too late. This second adorable Bridget Jones film is also based on the novel by Helen Fielding. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.40:1 DVD picture exhibits pleasing image quality, with sharp and detailed images. Sometimes the picture can seem a bit soft or undefined. Color fidelity is quite natural overall, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues, and generally deep blacks. However, some scenes seem slightly undersaturated (with noticeably weak blacks). Pixelization is occasional, but rarely is any distracting edge enhancement noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    With well mixed music and occasional blips of surround atmospheric effects, the Dolby

    Reason #123 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR for the articles—honest. Terry Paullin's industry insight is refreshing and lively. The lack of comparisons of which home theatre-in-a-box is best or which sub $200 DVD player is best leaves more room for in-depth product and movie reviews. Most importantly, though, I read WSR for the caricature of Gary Reber morphed on to the movie featured on the cover in the Editor's Couch page. Pierce Brosnan had better watch out!
