      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    With A Friend Like Harry who needs friends? At a rest stop on their way to a summer cottage, Michel (Lucas) and Claire (Seigner)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits pleasing quality, with images that are sharp and nicely detailed, though background clarity is a bit wanting at times. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, but with slightly weak blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are satisfactory, though some scenes are a bit dark and undefined. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #119 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it keeps me up-to-date on the newest technology and gives insightful information regarding brands and types of product. I don't think I would feel comfortable making purchasing decisions without consulting Widescreen Review!
