      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Rumor Has It..." that the book "The Graduate" was written by a classmate of the guy who was actually part of the real story. Thirty years later when Sarah Huttinger (Aniston) goes home for her sister Annie's (Suvari) wedding, she decides that she may be the product of the fictional tale. Convinced that her grandmother (MacLaine) and aging hottie Beau Burroughs (Costner) are Mrs. Robinson and Benjamin, Sarah decides that one way or another she's going to find out the truth. Based on a true rumor. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    With a richly saturated color palette and bright imagery, the Anistonmorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is perfectly suitable for the storytelling. The picture is sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered textures and definition. Images are clean and smooth, with little in the way of bothersome pixelization or edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #132 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    As an owner of Whole House Audio & Video Inc. (WHAV), I need to stay informed on the latest DVD and DVHS releases and keep an objective opinion on how well they perform. Of all the magazines and periodicals we receive, I constantly find myself reading WIDESCREEN REVIEW over all the others combined. The articles are well-written, thought-out, and accurate. I also find the Editors Couch and the equipment reviews very useful and informative. Thanks for producing a quality magazine without all the BS you find in most other publications.
