Story Synopsis:
Fans of Robert Downey Jr. won’t want to miss Two Girls And A Guy—an evening in the life of a struggling, self-absorbed actor who arrives home to find that his two “exclusive” girlfriends have discovered one another. Heavy on dialogue, the trio explore the meanings of lust, love, commitment and desire—and the motives behind deceitful behavior.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture, matted at 1.85:1, exhibits a slightly oversaturated color balance that appears to be stylistically amber in hue, with deep, undefined blacks. Images are sharp and detailed with nicely rendered shadow delineation and contrast. The picture is marred with minor noise throughout, but artifacts are not distracting. Colors are slightly undefined with an overly dark appearance. Otherwise, the picture appears natural and appealing.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Surround matrix soundtrack is largely monaural directed, and is inconsistent, though often dialogue is nicely spatially integrated. The music score, though limited, sounds quite good. The soundstage is expansive and the music wraps aggressively into the surround channel. Overall, the soundtrack is wanting in spatial dimension and is mediocre in sound quality, but satisfying nonetheless.
