Drew Barrymore stars as Josie Geller, a highly proficient newspaper copy editor who wants nothing more than to be a real reporter. Josie gets her wish and is assigned to go undercover as a high school student to write an expose on any bit of dirt that she can uncover. The movie is cute and entertaining thanks to Drew Barrymore who delivers a delightful comic performance that draws the audience into the film s goofy situations. Speaking of goofy, David Arquette makes the most of his character, a loser in the real world who goes back to high school to relive his glory days.
Blacks are strong and the image has pretty smooth contrast.
Digital compression artifacts do not degrade the presentation in any way. Dialogue is clean and well produced, but there is little activity in the peripheral channels, especially the surrounds. There is some stereo separation in the front, but it is mostly in the music. The surround channels exist primarily to add ambience and fill to the music. A Dolby Surround soundtrack is also provided on the DVD, as are English and Spanish subtitles.
