      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Also available in

    Story Synopsis:
    A group of emotionally fragile people meet one September in a cozy home in Vermont to reminisce and complain and whine about their stations in life. Making matters worse is that everyone seems to be feeling the pangs of love, but everyone is feeling it about somebody else. (Laurie Sevano)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits colors that are quite natural and well balanced, with fleshtones that appear accurate, but blacks seem a bit weak at times. Images are generally sharp, with good detail. While contrast appears natural, visual information tends to get lost in the darkest scenes. There is a slight amount of edge enhancement detected. While some scenes appear clean and solid, the source element is revealing of film grain and artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #72 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love to read WSR because of the straightforward, professional equipment reviews. I also LOVE the DVD reviews. As a home theatre fanatic, I want to know the technical and quality aspects of my future purchase/rental DVDs with just a brief synopsis of what the movie is about. Other home theatre publications spend way too much space reviewing the movie itself. I will make my own judgments on the merits of the movie, what I want from my magazine is some insight on how the DVD will sound and look on my system. WSR gives the reader just that. GREAT mag! Keep up the good work!
