      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When someone in his audience suggests that comedian and talk-show host Tom Dobbs (Williams) run for president, a barrage of emails convinces him that maybe he should. But when the Man Of The Year actually wins the race and later learns why, he has a tough decision to make about his new career. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 image has an earthy color scheme, which gives fleshtones an unnatural reddish hue. Details are resolved well, and with decent (albeit inconsistent) black levels and good shadow delineation, the image can have a welcome dimensionality. Subtle pixilation is noticeable at times, which can give the image a digital look, but edge enhancement is minor. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #79 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am addicted to home theatre equipment and buying DVDs . I love buying DVDs, then listening to them on my home theatre system. The fix to my addiction is Widescreen Review. It helps to keep me up to date on the latest equipment, as well as the DVD reviews. In my humble opinion, WSR has the best equipment reviews and the most comprehensive DVD reviews anywhere. I look forward to my issue of Widescreen Review every month.
