During the course of the day, Dante has to deal with insipid customers, sneak out to a funeral, play roller hockey on the roof, and most importantly, come to a decision about the two woman in his life. Since Randal spends more time in the convenience store than he does in the video shop, his surly attitude towards customers only serves to cause more problems for Dante. Some of the acting is a bit amateurish, but for the most part, the central performances are believable. Non-actor Jeff Anderson is surprisingly good and surprisingly funny as Randal. Film grain is almost always present, but the image is usually clean, with relatively good detail.
Contrast is a bit harsh at times, but then again so is the film's original cinematography.
The two-channel Dolby Digital soundtrack will decode to standard surround, but the mix is somewhat limited by the budgetary considerations. However, the soundtrack has been artificially sweetened with added sound effects, plus the music has been mixed in such a way to give the track additional depth. In contrast to the rest of the mix, the dialogue is a bit flat sounding, but it is always clear and intelligible. One can also access the disc's supplements through the interactive menus. Topping the disc's supplements is a very funny and informative audio commentary featuring Kevin Smith, along with other cast and crewmembers.
