      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Mean spirited, arrogant image consultant Russ Duritz ( Willis) needs someone to teach him a lesson in proper behavior. Little did he realize the lesson would come from himself

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a pleasing picture in all aspects. Colors are rich and warm, with excellent balance, natural fleshtones and deep blacks. While colors are pleasing, hues seem a bit plugged-up. Images are sharp and detailed with pleasing contrast and shadow delineation. Edge enhancement is detected throughout, but is not always a glaring distraction. Minor pixelization is noticed and occasional fine details shimmer slightly. Overall, the picture is quite solid and should surely please. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #91 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I need a magazine at dose and not a sugar coat approach to reviews. I need a magazine that is not bias or a sell-out. And Widescreen Review is my winner. I am a 23-year old audiophile that likes to stay in the know and up to date on what’s new and what’s hot. I can't do that with a magazine that says every single review is a good one, like other mags out there that will be left name-less. The Sound And Vision of a product is important, but don’t sell-out to make a buck, and those people out there are the ones who think that Gateway makes a good plasma. Keep up the good work. I love the mag.
