      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Oliver Martin (Kutcher) and Emily Friehi (Peet) are two strangers who were introduced to each other by joining the "Mile High Club" on a flight to New York. Spending time together in the city, the two begin a friendship that lasts over the years. Although when together it felt "A Lot Like Love," they were both convinced that they were wrong for each other. But when it seems that they may lose each other to someone else, they both find themselves wondering if what they've been looking for hasn't been right there in front of them all along. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture can look fantastic at times, boasting a vivid, well balanced color scheme, with accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with contrast and shadow delineation exhibiting good balance. There are a few scenes that have a slightly smeared or undefined appearance, but nothing that is too distracting from the overall experience. No obtrusive edge enhancement is to be seen, and pixelization is quite limited. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    With its strange reverberation, using the surrounds to mimic the front main loudspeakers at lower levels and with considerable delay, music can be very distracting in the Dolby

    Reason #57 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    WSR is the ONLY magazine, let alone A/V magazine I read. The insightful information about current and impending technological advancements allow me to make appropriate decisions about equipment purchases. WSR gives me the straight goods on which equipment to buy for current AND future use!
