      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    An Everlasting Piece is a hysterical and hair-raising comedy about an unlikely pair of barbers (McEvoy and O

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a lovely picture, with colors that are rich and well balanced, with bold reds and blues that pop from the screen, natural fleshtones, and deep blacks.

    Reason #62 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is the only place to go for no-nonsense evaluations of the audio and video qualities of a DVD before you drop your hard-earned cash for it.
