      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Jerry Falk (Biggs) is a 21-year-old fledgling comedy writer who's trying to break into the business by writing nightclub routines for comics. His agent Harvey (DeVito) does him no good at all, but Jerry won't dump him as he is Harvey's only client, and he feels committed to the man. On top of that, Jerry has made friends with David Dobel (Allen), a 60-year-old neurotic character working in the same field as Jerry. In love with his girlfriend Amanda (Ricci), she has a serious commitment problem with no intention of getting intimate with him anytime soon. And with her mother Paula (Channing) around, life doesn't look like it's going to get better anytime soon. Can "Anything Else" go wrong for this poor guy

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced DVD picture exhibits images that are generally sharp, though fine details and textures can be lacking in a crisp, natural appearance. The picture -- Woody

    Reason #92 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is the only home theatre magazine that puts the reader first. All magazines must cater to advertisers to stay in business, but at WSR you never feel that this article or this review was generated because advertising needed a little boost right now. WSR also provides the depth that I like in its reporting and analysis. I still have every copy that I purchased and that's testament to my feeling of the statue of coverage of equipment and movies for the home movie enthusiast. The series on building the Holosonic Home Theatre was very thorough, and I’m currently using it as I build a new home with a theatre room that will closely resemble the one at your editorial facilities. Some of us do truly appreciate your dedication to doing it right. Thanks for producing an excellent magazine.
