      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Jenna (Russell) is a simple Waitress in a roadside diner, stuck in a lousy marriage with her selfish husband, Earl (Sisto). Jenna finds solace baking delectable pies, aptly naming each concoction after her daily emotions. It is Jenna

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.82:1 DVD shows nicely balanced colors with natural-looking fleshtones. The image generally has a soft look, with some smearing of the details, taking away from the realism of the picture. Black levels are somewhat milky, but details in the shadows are generally rendered nicely. Edge enhancement is minor and does not become much of a distraction. Pixel breakup is also noticeable from time to time, and source element artifacts can also be recognized. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #21 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I received a DVD for Christmas and went to the newsstand to learn all about DVD movies and Widescreen TV. I picked up an entire different magazine and out of all of them, yours was the best. It is that simple. As a matter of a fact, I just subscribed to Widescreen Review.
