      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 #78 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR to stay at the forefront of the home theatre industry, to help me find products to fit my needs, and to read about products that I dream about one day owning.
