      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Camp Ovation is a summer getaway for young aspiring actors and musicians. Vlad (Letterle) is one of the happy campers and the best guitar player around. He is in constant need of attention, and Ellen (Chilcoat) certainly gives him plenty, but Michael (De Jesus) thinks that the guy is pretty hot too. In the end, though, the whole group of kids get together and put on a really good show for their final day of camp. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a color palette that is quite vivid, often bordering oversaturation with reddish fleshtones at times, bold hues, and deep, but often undefined blacks. The HD-originated picture is sharp and nicely detailed, with satisfying contrast and shadow delineation. There are a few scenes that appear softly focused or smeared. Pixelization is noticed, giving the picture a digital appearance at times, but edge enhancement is not much of a problem. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #55 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it has had a consistent editorial perspective since its inception: a no-compromise approach to making home theatre the best that it can be. I have read the magazine cover to cover since Issue 2. Despite staff and reviewer changes over the years, thanks to Gary's leadership this perspective has never changed. As new technologies are introduced, Widescreen Review always provides in-depth analyses of not just the technology itself, but the political and industry forces that may be forcing compromises in its development. You have always sounded the clarion call to stop compression madness or any other madness that may force us to accept a home theatre experience that falls short of what it could be. Thank you!
