      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Meandering his way from one menial job to another, Larry Daley (Stiller) reluctantly takes a job at New York

    DVD Picture:
    While the anamorphically enhanced 1.82:1 DVD can look good, with well-saturated colors and good contrast balance, edge enhancement can become bothersome. Fleshtones can look plugged up at times, but fine details can also be delivered well; other times, however, they can look rather soft. The color scheme can also be unnaturally hot outdoors, which can also be slightly distracting. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #73 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I like the movie reviews, and I like the equipment tests. I enjoy the interviews with manufacturers. I also feel that you are a good source for what is coming out next, trends etc. I think you dig a little deeper in your tests of equipment. Sometimes I have to read between the lines, and I know why you don't slam some company's gear. You have more interesting reading.
