      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Bridget Cardigan (Keaton) is shocked to learn she is on the verge of losing her house and her comfortable middle-class lifestyle when her husband Don (Danson) loses his job of 30 years, due to corporate downsizing. Forced to look for a job with no experience or credentials, except for a decades-old English Lit degree, Bridget takes the only job she can get

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.37:1 DVD exhibits a picture that looks smeared, with fine details poorly resolved. Fleshtones look somewhat pinkish. Color fidelity is generally good, though. The image also appears hazy, causing the picture to look flat. Edge enhancement can be recognized and compression artifacts are also noticeable. Posterization can also be noticed on occasion. Edges can also appear overly digitized at times. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #37 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The magazine provides no bull, solid technical information that is truly useful to me. The product reviews are excellent for helping me decide what to purchase. The DVD software reviews also help me to decide what movies are reference quality to add to my collection. I also love that the issues are not stuffed full of advertisements.
