      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    R.J. Stevens (Lawrence) is a successful self-help guru and host of the popular daytime talk show Team Of Me. When he is invited back to Georgia to celebrate his parent's 50th wedding anniversary, he seizes the chance in order to flaunt his success to his family who taunted him as a child. Returning to his southern roots with his reality TV star fiance Bianca (Bryant), R.J. expects a grand Welcome Home. But to his dismay, his relentless family is not impressed by his Hollywood status, instead treating him like the loveable loser, Roscoe Jenkins, they all knew and loved. (Stacey Pendry)

    DVD Picture:

    Reason #45 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR because I enjoy configuring my home entertainment system myself. I don't have enough disposable income to buy all new components and hire an installer to set it all up. So, I have relied on WSR to guide me in almost all aspects of the (continual) upgrade process. I have always stayed glued to the reviews so that I can choose where my dollar is going to affect the greatest impact in my system. When you have a tight budget to work with, even the smallest purchase decisions make a difference.
