      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Will Hays (Reynolds) is in the midst of a bitter divorce when his ten-year-old daughter Maya (Breslin) begins to be curious about her dad's life before he was married to her mom. Will begins to tell his story to his daughter, reliving the days of being an idealistic, aspiring politician and the three women he met and fell in love with during his youth

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD shows nicely saturated colors, giving it a natural appearance. Fleshtones have a subtly orange appearance, though, and black levels are consistently elevated. Occasional scenes can appear flat, but contrast is generally balanced well, with adequate shadow definition. Resolution is acceptable, but the finer details are recognizably soft. The image can be digitally harsh at times, and edge enhancement can be a distraction on the higher contrast transitions. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

The equipment reviews also help to identify equipment attributes that may serve well in my environment. As a newcomer to the field of home theatre, Widescreen Review has helped me to understand some of the terminology, and to begin building my home theatre repertoire. In this area, it is helpful to review the reference systems descriptions, which also give ideas on how to set up my room. The DVD and D-VHS release schedule are also useful. All in all, Widescreen Review is a very easy-to-read magazine with great editorial content and a fantastic artistic layout, including great advertisement pages, which in the end helps me gain control of my Home Theatre Experience!
