Some first meeting go very well, while others turn out to be total nightmares, which leave their indelible mark on a burgeoning relationship. Just as Greg is about to ask Pam to marry him, he learns that her father is somewhat old fashioned and decides to ask for hand in marriage before popping the question. Director Jay Roach effectively stages the visual humor, as well as creating an uncomfortable, almost hostile environment for his central character. Like any new movie just transferred to DVD, the image is very sharp and highly detailed. There were only a couple of brief shots in the movie that displayed any signs of softness.
Colors are strongly rendered, however flesh tones remain completely natural looking throughout.
Neither chroma noise nor bleeding cause any problems amongst the more vivid hues. Blacks appear accurate, plus the picture boasts smooth contrast, as well as very good shadow detail and depth. The film element used for the transfer is almost perfect, with just a handful of minute blemishes present. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack has a standard comedy mix, which is strong on dialogue and music and light on directional sound effects. There is good channel separation across the forward soundstage, which provides stereo imaging for the music.
