      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Overwhelmed with being awkward at 13 in 1987, Jenna Rink (Christa B. Allen) makes a wish that she will be 30, flirty, and thriving. Of course, just after glitter falls and magical chimes stop ringing, she awakens the next morning in a new millennium, in a house she doesn

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture is perfectly suitable for the light storytelling, featuring bright and colorful images that are well balanced with natural fleshtones and deep blacks. Images are sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered textures and definition. Contrast and shadow delineation are also quite satisfying. Minor edge enhancement is noticed, but pixelization is not a problem with this title. Occasionally the picture has a soft look, but no smearing is detected. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    This charming and delightful Dolby

    Reason #34 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I was always told to seek the superlative, and where home entertainment is concerned, WSR makes sure that my reach always exceeds my grasp. Fortunately, in this case, it's a good thing. I can count on WSR to always go beyond what every other magazine in the industry can provide. It has inspired me to explore the concepts, both technical and subjective, to the extent that I even feel smarter about home entertainment technology. Hardware and software are both dealt with in an informative and engaging way, so the value of the magazine surpasses its modest price. WSR has been a great inspiration for my wishes and dreams. I wish I could afford the ultra wares I see covered in the magazine. Nevertheless, I am wiser because I have gained a sense of judgment through reading WSR. (I must admit to having a bit of common sense, though, since I have been using Monster Cable products for over 10 years!) I hope WSR will continue to ignite the interest in its audience as it has up to now.
