      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Samantha Mackenzie (Holmes) had a normal childhood only to be thrown into the limelight when her father (Keaton) became the President of the United States. The only thing she wants is to feel normal again, and The First Daughter is finally getting her chance...at college. But first, she

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits generally pleasing visuals for the lighthearted storytelling. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, rich hues, and deep blacks. The picture can be sharp and nicely detailed, though some minor smearing is noticed. Finicky viewers will notice edge enhancement and complain about the pixelization that can be attributed to a lower bit rate (which is often at 3 to 4 Mbps). (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #36 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it’s simply the best A/V magazine available. No other magazine includes such a comprehensive discussion of developments and potential developments in the field, as well as a detailed analysis of systems and products available. Widescreen Review provides thorough and easy-to-follow “how to” sections in building and setting up home theatre and is the definitive authority on quality DVDs. No other magazine can beat all that. Kudos to Widescreen Review! I will never stop my subscription.
