WSR Narrative Review

Story Synopsis:
In My First Mister, Jennifer (Sobieski) is a smart, pierced, tattooed, goth teenager who graduated from high school and decided not to attend college.

DVD Picture:

Soundtrack:

Reason #126 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

I read Widescreen Review to determine which products are worth spending my hard-earned money on. With all of the constant changes in the world of home entertainment, one needs a source of information and insight on what works and what doesn't. Having a home theatre, I don't want to go out and buy the latest gimmick. I want parts that will be good now and still be good later on down the line. Widescreen Review lets me know which equipment from the sea of electronics fits my needs! I recommend it to all who want unbiased opinions on what works and what doesn't!
