    In the edgy comedy "Anyone But You", Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell) look like the perfect couple, but after an amazing first date something happens that turns their fiery hot attraction ice cold - until they find themselves unexpectedly thrust together at a destination wedding in Australia. So they do what any two mature adults would do: pretend to be a couple. (Gary Reber)

    Special features include featurettes "He Said She Said" (HD 04:01) and "O Down Under" (HD 03:54), outtakes and bloopers (HD 03:10), three deleted scenes (HD 01:27), marketing materials (HD 03:23), upfront previews and a Movies Anywhere digital copy.

    The 2.39:1 1080p AVC picture, reviewed on a VIZIO Quantum X P85QX-JI UHD/HDR display, was photograph digitally using the Arri Alexa Mini LF and sourced from a 4K Digital Intermediate. The picture exhibit naturalness throughout. The setting of the wedding directly off a coast in Australia is captured beautifully. The color palette exhibits warm and rich hues and vibrant primaries that are never exaggerated. Flesh tones are naturally hued, Contrast is natural and well balanced with deep blacks, revealing shadows, especially during night scenes in the Opera House harbor, and natural white levels. Resolution is excellent and reveals fine detail in facial characteristics during closeups, clothing, and object textures, but otherwise a bit soft. This is a well lit natural production that is satisfying visually. (Gary Reber)

    The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1-channel soundtrack is dynamic sounding with an active music score that occupies a wide and deep sound soundstage with an aggressive extension to the surround channels. Atmospherics sound realistic and sound effects enhance the sound design. Bass extension sounds natural and non-exaggerated. Dialogue is not always intelligible and is forward sounding. Overall, this is a serviceable holosonic® soundtrack. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #8 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review summarizes the information I need to make informed decisions about DVD purchases. My DVD library is growing by leaps and bounds, and it's great to have WSR let me know when I may be disappointed with a disc before I buy it. I also like the new DVD release list to let me know what's ahead. On top of that, reading WSR is a great way to keep abreast of new technologies. Sometimes the interviews with those who bring these technologies to market give more insight into the overall demands and future directions of the market.
