    Special Features
    The almighty studio did not spare this DVD of annoying, unskippable (you can only fast forward) up-front ads. Jim Carrey fans will love the first supplement in the Bonus Feature menu: a six-minute director Tom Shadyac-introduced featurette called The Process Of Jim, which reveals Carrey

      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Also available in a 1.33:1 (4:3) full screen edition.

    Story Synopsis:
    After cursing at God (Freeman) for everything going wrong in his life, Bruce Nolan (Carrey) is certain that he is merely a pawn for his maker

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture has an interesting look, kind of like it is slightly awash in a heavenly white glow. When colors are more fully saturated, there are lots of

    Soundtrack:
    The 5.1-channel soundtracks deliver with excellent fidelity and a generally satisfying sense of holosonic

    Reason #92 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is the only home theatre magazine that puts the reader first. All magazines must cater to advertisers to stay in business, but at WSR you never feel that this article or this review was generated because advertising needed a little boost right now. WSR also provides the depth that I like in its reporting and analysis. I still have every copy that I purchased and that's testament to my feeling of the statue of coverage of equipment and movies for the home movie enthusiast. The series on building the Holosonic Home Theatre was very thorough, and I’m currently using it as I build a new home with a theatre room that will closely resemble the one at your editorial facilities. Some of us do truly appreciate your dedication to doing it right. Thanks for producing an excellent magazine.
