      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Ben Murphy (Krasinski) and Sadie Jones (Moore) are newly engaged and looking forward to a beautiful wedding and married life afterward. Sadie wishes to marry in her family church, but therein lies a problem, and the problem has a name...Reverend Frank (Williams). The good Reverend runs Sadie

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.34:1 DVD is marred by heavy compression artifacts that really damage the image, which is most likely brought on by the fact that a widescreen and fullscreen version of the movie is on both sides. Flesh also looks plugged up, with little fine detail shown, and it can also look overly pink in brighter scenes. Black levels are slightly washed out, and whites can bloom. Color fringing and bleeding can also be problematic. Strangely, some scenes can look quite good, with good resolution and dimensionality, but these scenes are few and far between. Edge enhancement can be recognized as well. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    Typical of movies of this genre, the Dolby
