      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Mary (Malone) is a good girl about to enter her senior year at American Eagle Christian High School. She has been Saved! by Jesus and is sure that he will help her through any predicament. When her boyfriend Patrick (Fugit) thinks that he might be gay, Mary decides to prove to him that he's wrong and she turns up pregnant. Thinking that she can depend on her pal Hilary (Moore) for support, Mary learns a quick lesson in friendship when Hilary turns against her. But as an outcast she becomes friends with Jewish student Cassandra (Amurri) and wheelchair-bound Roland (Culkin) and discovers for the first time in her life what a true friend really is. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture is bright and colorful, with well balanced fleshtones, vibrant hues, and deep blacks. Images are sharp and detailed, with satisfying contrast and shadow delineation. Unfortunately, edge enhancement can be a problem with this title. Otherwise, the picture is quite smooth with little in the way of pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #7 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Truth is, there is no other magazine, on-line or in print, that covers the substantive issues, controversies, and current topics of the A/V world with as much relevance and detail as WSR does without forcing the reader to filter out the bias of the reviewer. Some other notable sources of information are top-heavy with reviews suffering from too much coloration: the golden eyes or ears syndrome. I prefer the clinical analysis of WSR with a touch of humor thrown in, to make for better reading. Thanks for giving me the facts and helping me with my buying decisions.
