      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Poor Herbie. His tire

    DVD Picture:
    As would be expected, the color scheme on this anamorphically enhanced DVD is bright and fun, perfectly complementing the lighthearted story. Images exhibit pleasing sharpness and details, with nicely balanced contrast and shadow delineation. There are few distractions in the way of pixelization, smearing, or edge enhancement; as the picture is quite solid overall. Good fun for the whole family. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    A clipping distortion is often present in the higher-level dialogue of 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!
