Freeman and Zellweger are particular standouts, giving both their characters great depth and understanding. I was also extremely impressed with Crispin Glover as the small Kansas town's newspaper reporter. Second, the film is just damn funny. Freeman and Rock get the lion's share of great lines, and watching them work together is a real treat. For a film of such a new release, I was actually surprised Nurse Betty didn't look better.
Colors seem a bit strong in places, casting too solid a hue on faces and other details.
This, along with the disc's frequent compression pixel break up become a distraction. The overall image is slightly soft, but enough detail is visible to balance it out. The print used for the transfer was predominantly free of dirt and grit, but I was left disappointed in the colors and compression. The best way to describe this is as merely decent. The disc contains both 2.0 surround and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround tracks, but both are very close to being nothing more than mono.
