Eventually, Ishmael decides to go Reno, but only after learning that the bank is about to foreclose on the Amish community's property. When the trio finally arrives in Reno, they encounter the final obstacle that stands between them and the prize money- Big Ernie McCracken. The plot may sound like a white trash tragedy, but it plays like a gut-busting laugh riot. The cast also includes Chris Elliott, William Jordan, Richard Tyson and Lin Shaye in an unforgettable performance. The wide screen transfer isn't likely to make anyone's jaw drop, but it has a very pleasing image, with respectable levels of sharpness and detail.
Colors are very nice, with solid saturation and natural flesh tones.
All traces of chroma noise and compression artifacts remained in check throughout the presentation. The Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack delivers good sound, but the mix isn't showy. Music is a big part of the soundtrack, which the DVD reproduces beautifully. Dialogue is clean, always intelligible and focused in the center channel. The surround channels are used sparingly, but they provide a nice level of ambience and occasional effects.
