      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Klutzy Princess Mia (Hathaway) returns in The Princess Diaries 2, where she is ready to find a Prince Charming who is ready to commit to a Royal Engagement. But finding the perfect suitor is going to be a bit of a challenge when it is the

    DVD Picture:
    A perfectly bright and colorful picture for a light and cheery story, the anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture is nicely rendered throughout. Colors are bright, with well-balanced fleshtones, nicely saturated hues, and deep blacks. Images are generally sharp, though some minor smearing is occasionally detected. Minor edge halos are noticed around objects at times, and there is also some minor pixel breakup. Still, the picture should surely please for the genre. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    he music, comes from the front three screen channels, with a generous use of the LFE channel to accentuate the low end foundation. The front soundstage creates a wide atmosphere with good imaging for effects, while the surrounds are generally reserved for music ambiance. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #124 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review for its informative articles and DVD and equipment reviews. Most of my DVD purchases come about after reading your reviews. I was also in the market for an intern projector (cheap) until the DLP projector matured and I could afford the more expensive Runco DLP projector. I went through all of my back issues; I have been a subscriber from your very first premier issue, and came across your article on the Sony VPL-HS10 Video Projector. I was so impressed with this article that I called around town to see who carries them and who had one hooked up, so I could review it. I was so impressed with the image quality for a projector in this price range that I ended up purchasing one, even though I was not in the market for an LCD projector. In fact, I have stopped subscribing to other home theatre magazines because I find your magazine to be more informative and straight-to-the-point. Thanks for your informative articles, and keep up the good work.
