Overall detail, aside from the occasional shot, is very strong with image depth and clarity quite apparent. This is just a great looking picture that just misses the mark of reference-quality due to a few imperfections. Universal has also included both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 soundtracks, though neither has much to do. Dialog, the predominant element of the track, is well recorded and placed exclusively in the center channel. I noticed no moments of strain or distortion in the vocals.
Directional effects are rare and subtle when they do occur.
Split rear effects are even more rare, with only a handful of sounds of placed at the back of the room throughout. Overall, this is standard comedy stuff. Not my favorite type of soundtrack but one that does what is required of it. A French 5.1 soundtrack is also included, though there are no subtitle options, only English Captions. Universal has loaded up Meet The Parents with extras, including not one, but two screen-specific audio commentaries .
