      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    A woman (Baye) has a fantasy of an anonymous affair, so she places an ad in an adult magazine. A man (Lopez) answers the ad and they begin their An Affair Of Love...well, not exactly love. It was supposed to be an encounter of only sex

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits generally good quality. The picture is sharp, but fine details shimmer on occasion. Sometimes, the picture seems a bit smeared and undefined, with slight bleeding of colors. Colors are fully, if not over saturated, and fleshtones can appear a bit reddish at times. Blacks are deep and solid. Edge enhancement is apparent, as are some instances of aliasing. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

      WSR DVD-ROM Review
    DVD-ROM Enhancements Rating:
    Mediocre

    DVD-ROM Review:
    The only features included on this title are a simple main menu, with links for the Original Web site and New Line's Hot Spot. The Original Web site includes all the information you might need to know about this film. There is a story synopsis, cast and crew biographies (actually only biographies for two of the cast and two of the crew), the original trailer, 12 still pictures from the film, quotes from reviewers, and a link to New Line's online shop. In the crew biographies section, you can also find an essay on the production of the film. When playing the movie from the PCFriendly software, you go directly to the DVD-Video main menu. This title does not have much to it, and looks very similar to the other New Line releases out there today. Giving An Affair of Love a rating of Mediocre really is being generous. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #89 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love your DVD and equipment reviews!!! Every part of your magazine has tons of info. I love the people you interview. I also love how you have BY FAR the best mail responses to our mail and e-mail. From The Editor's Couch has a ton of info in every issue. Coming Soon is a nice area that is better than any other magazine out there. I am glad you are in touch with the new HD DVD in every issue for the most up-to-date info around. I have all of your issues and plan on getting your awesome magazine forever! Thanks.
