      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After another failed attempt to enjoy the holidays, Bridget Jones (Zellweger) decides to take control of her uncomfortably unmarried life, documenting everything in Bridget Jones

    DVD Picture:
    This new Special Edition DVD exhibits what appears to be the same 2.35:1 transfer as the previously released DVD (Issue 55). Images are sharp and detailed with good contrast and shadow delineation. Colors are rich and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. The picture is quite solid, but exhibits some pixel breakup and edge enhancement at times. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #37 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The magazine provides no bull, solid technical information that is truly useful to me. The product reviews are excellent for helping me decide what to purchase. The DVD software reviews also help me to decide what movies are reference quality to add to my collection. I also love that the issues are not stuffed full of advertisements.
