      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Naive, small-town girl Katie Gregerstitch (Simpson) is heartbroken when her long-time boyfriend moves to New York City. The Blonde beauty decides to surprise her long-distance love with a visit. Katie is the one who is surprised when she finds her man in the arms of another woman. Instead of running back home to Oklahoma, Katie's Ambition is to stay in the Big Apple and make a new life for herself. (Stacey Pendry)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.84:1 DVD exhibits a somewhat soft image, with fine details almost completely removed from the image. Colors are bold and vibrant, but fleshtones can have a somewhat greenish hue. Contrast is generally nicely balanced. Details in the whites are rendered well, and while black levels are not very deep, shadows are delineated nicely. The image can look very flat, though, and edge enhancement can become somewhat of a distraction. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #128 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it gets to the details I'm really interested in knowing. It doesn't beat around the bush. I love the DVD reviews and the insightful articles. Besides insightful, WSR seems to be able to put into print some of the latest breaking news in this ever-changing industry within weeks, if not days, of the original release of the news. And last but not least, I have access to the subscription website.
