      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Richie White (Dillon) was a charismatic young teenager who went Over The Edge being raised in a suburban community that catered to adults and ignored its teenage population. Based on true incidents in the 1970s (where the boys wore tight jeans and crop tops).(Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a dated, but adequate looking picture. Fleshtones tend to appear a bit ruddy at times, and color can have a washed out quality. The source element is revealing of some film grain and flecks of dirt, but nothing that is too obtrusive. The loss of finer details from smearing and pixel breakup is noticed at times, as well as minor edge halos. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #121 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    In my opinion, Widescreen Review is the authority and the reference standard for true unbiased critical reviews of audio/video products and equipment. Unlike other publications, which seem to parallel their articles with their advertising accounts, WSR can be trusted for high integrity of product reviews. Overall, Widescreen Review provides very accurate and satisfying reviews of equipment and DVD releases, not found in any competing publication. Keep up the outstanding work!
