      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Due to her share of romantic problems, Kat Ellis (Messing) becomes determined to show up with a date to the wedding of her younger sister, Amy (Adams). So she gets the best man money can buy, Nick (Mulroney), a handsome professional escort. But as The Wedding Date nears, Kat begins to wonder if their relationship is all about the money...or if there

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture looks great, with bright colors that perfectly complement the light storytelling. Images are often very sharp and nicely detailed. Occasional edge halos and pixelization are noticed, but nothing that is too distracting. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #112 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The first thing that grabbed my interest was the DVD reviews. But after I purchased that first issue and read the reviews, I got hooked on all of the other information contained in each issue. I had adopted the DVD format fairly early on, and I have had a strong preference for widescreen, dating back to my VHS days. The technical information is a godsend. I feel that I have saved so much money by avoiding inferior quality DVDs. I was very ignorant about the technology out there for home theatre and was not aware of the resources I had that were really going to waste. (5.1 in my movie collection) I read and read and read and finally updated my antiquated system. It is such a wonderful joy to turn down the lights, turn up the sound, and enjoy movies more than I ever could at a theatre. I knew it was worth it even more when my wife said, “Cool” as we watched The Others with true surround sound. Widescreen Review has actually helped improve my quality of life!
