      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Dennis (Pegg) has an obvious problem with commitment when he leaves Libby (Newton), his pregnant bride-to-be, standing at the altar. Five years later, Libby is a single mom raising her son Jake (Matthew Fenton) with the not-so-consistent help from Jake

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.37:1 DVD features deep black levels and good shadow delineation, which, when combined with the nicely balanced contrast, can create a good sense of depth into the screen. Unfortunately, though, the heavy compression artifacts can destroy this aspect, as well as cause the picture to look overly soft and poorly resolved. Colors are bright and bold, but fleshtones appear far too pink, and greens look pastel. Luckily, source artifacts and edge enhancement are not a big problem, but the poor compression is a distraction. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #56 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am most interested in the formats (audio) of DVDs. I buy a DVD, and then it is re-introduced in a deluxe package some time later. I am not that interested in the extras, but the DVD is invariably upgraded in sound. This is usually DTS ES surround but in some cases DTS ES 6.1 (discrete). Most reviews (Home Theater, Stereophile Guide To Home Theater, Sound And Vision) do not address this situation. I am subscribing to Widescreen Review, hopefully, to solve this problem. I am looking forward to my first issue and a long relationship with your magazine.
