      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Disc does not contain the full screen edition indicated on the jacket.

    Story Synopsis:
    Darren Silverman (Biggs), Wayne Lefessier (Zahn), and J.D. McNugent (Black) have been best friends since grammar school. They look out for eachother...and they all really love Neil Diamond. One evening, after performing in their tribute band, Diamonds In The Rough, gullible Darren meets Judith (Peet), a hard-hearted, really mean girl who totally controls his life

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits good quality throughout. Images are sharp and detailed with nicely rendered depth and definition. Contrast and shadow delineation are well balanced. Colors are rich, with accurate fleshtones, vibrant hues and deep blacks. At times, colors can seem slightly smeared and wanting in clarity. There is a bit of edge enhancement noticed on occasion, but many scenes are free from its distraction. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #62 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is the only place to go for no-nonsense evaluations of the audio and video qualities of a DVD before you drop your hard-earned cash for it. In an industry where the subjective is usually described in the most arcane manner possible (to the exclusion of the unwashed masses), WSR's clear and objective-as-you-can-get reviews give me the information I need to make purchasing decisions confidently.
