      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Hungry for a big juicy burger from your local fast food establishment? Well, before you bite into that mouth-watering piece of heaven, you may want to take a little road trip with Don Henderson (Kinnear), one of the marketing wizards at Mickey

    DVD Picture:
    While colors can be vibrant, the anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture generally has a faded look. Blacks are more like grays, and shadow delineation is poor. Details often look soft, but there are times when they are well resolved. To add to the problems, edge enhancement is noticeable, which can be a distraction. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #115 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review as my premiere source for the latest in home theatre technology. The articles are extra detailed and packed with detailed information. My theory is the higher level of detail you try to absorb, the more you will actually retain down the road. Kind of like college, where the things you learned in the first two years are engrained because you used the principles over and over again in your last two years
