      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Ever since he was seven, Kyle (Evans) has known that he wants to be an architect. But when his PSAT score comes back 220 points lower than he needs to be accepted to Cornell University, desperate times call for desperate measures. With a group of friends who also need help with their scores, they plan to steal the answers to the test in order to get The Perfect Score. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is comprised of stylized visuals that can appear natural and saturated under warm lights or desaturated cold blues or greens and presented in fast-paced imagery. Images are sharp and detailed, with well balanced contrast and shadow delineation. Rarely does the picture have a soft or smeared appearance. Edge enhancement is noticed at times, but pixelization is limited. While not earning a perfect score, this DVD picture still passes with flying colors. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #106 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    No one covers the issues in more detail than Widescreen Review. No one else has the breadth and depth of different review systems on which to base transfer quality opinions. Gary Reber has given more editorial space to important Home Theatre trends and technologies than anyone in the industry, AND he has Joe Kane and Greg Rogers on his staff as advisors/columnists. 'Nuff said.
