      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Wiitty and wise-cracking Juno (Page) is not a typical high school student. One afternoon she sleeps with her guy friend and classmate Paulie (Cera) out of boredom and curiosity. When Juno discovers she is pregnant, she enlists the help of her best friend Leah (Thirlby) to find the perfect adopted parents for her unborn baby. Juno and Leah find a classified ad in the local Penny Saver with the ideal prospective parents

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.82:1 DVD shows a decent picture quality, with good black levels and acceptable shadow delineation. Colors are generally nicely saturated, although the contrast is slightly off balance, which causes the picture to look washed out. Fleshtones look natural for the most part, but there are times when they look too orange. Resolution is somewhat lacking, occasionally looking soft, and compression artifacts are recognized from time to time. Edge enhancement is also noticeable. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #75 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because WSR is my fog lights that cut through the murk and confusion of the twists and turns of the road to home theatre. It provides clear directions and warning signs to any would-be traveler.
