    WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Julia Sweeney’s androgynous character Pat from TV’s Saturday Night Live! is the star of It’s Pat—The Movie. Considered by fans of the recurring televised skit to be an outrageously funny adventure, the movie casts a group of nutty characters trying to discover Pat’s true gender in a series of in-credible escapades.

    LaserDisc Picture:
    The 1.85:1 picture has a soft filtered look with inconsistent fleshtones. Some scenes appear to be washed out and lit excessively bright. Some slight noise and grain and minor artifacts are visible in the picture.

    LaserDisc Soundtrack:
    The soundtrack has the subtlest surround presence which can be attributed to a well recorded and dynamic music score.
