      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In this fictional biography Billy Crystal makes his directorial debut where he stars as

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a satisfying picture, with a color scheme that is well balanced. Fleshtones are nicely rendered, blacks are deep and solid, and hues are rich and vibrant. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, though some scenes are softly focused. The source element is revealing of dirt, artifacts, and minor film grain. There is a bit of pixelization and occasional edge enhancement, but nothing that is too obtrusive. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #12 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I started with the Ultimate Widescreen DVD Movie Guide and haven’t missed an issue since. I thought it would be nice to have a good resource for DVD reviews, but it’s turned into so much more. It’s to the point where if I don't see certain segments in the mag (new products, one installer, etc.), I feel a little disappointed. Please keep up the great work.
