The full screen version crops the image somewhat, but remains watchable. Everything appears sharp and well defined, without being exaggerated. Shadow detail is very good, plus the image creates a very accurate black level. Colors are sumptuous, while the flesh tones are very natural. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack is competently mixed and sounds quite good, but it never calls attention to itself.
Dialogue is very clean and usually remains tightly focused in the center channel.
Contemporary songs, which usually signifies additional soundtrack dollars, are faithfully recreated in the mix. Additionally, bass reproduction is pretty good, however it is called into play mostly for the music. Subtitles are provided on the DVD in English. The interactive menus have a simple, but elegant design that allows one to access the standard scene and setup features, as well as the disc's supplements. There is a filmmakers' commentary that features director Roger Kumble and other members of the production team.
