      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Eddie Murphy stars as Professor Sherman Klump who, in The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, finds himself trying to contain his mouthy alter ego, Buddy Love, who rudely speaks out in front of Sherman

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a picture that will surely please in all aspects of image quality. Images are sharp and finely detailed, though there are a few softly focused scenes. Colors are rich and nicely balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely rendered. Minor pixelization and artifacts are noticed, but generally do not distract. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

      WSR DVD-ROM Review
    DVD-ROM Enhancements Rating:
    Superb

    DVD-ROM Review:
    Just like all the other PCFriendly compatible releases, The Klumps has the same easy installation. After running PCFriendly, you are brought to a very plain main menu, with links for The Family, The Film, Nutty Stuff, Nutty Features, and DVD Newsletter. The Family is where you can find filmographies on Eddie Murphy and Janet Jackson, as well as introductions to each of the family members in this film. There are also 12 photos from scenes of the movie in this section. The Film contains literature on the story, interviews with five contributors of the film, a soundtrack listing, biographies of the main filmmakers, and a low quality clip of the out takes. There is also the complete music video for Janet Jackson

    Reason #72 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love to read WSR because of the straightforward, professional equipment reviews. I also LOVE the DVD reviews. As a home theatre fanatic, I want to know the technical and quality aspects of my future purchase/rental DVDs with just a brief synopsis of what the movie is about. Other home theatre publications spend way too much space reviewing the movie itself. I will make my own judgments on the merits of the movie, what I want from my magazine is some insight on how the DVD will sound and look on my system. WSR gives the reader just that. GREAT mag! Keep up the good work!
