Unfortunately, Craig s day starts off bad and just keeps getting worse. Somehow he got fired from his job on his day off, there is no milk for his cereal, his parents are on his case, plus he s got a psycho girlfriend constantly harassing him. Look for LaWanda Page in an amusing cameo. Colors are nicely saturated and reproduce without chroma noise or bleeding. Blacks appear accurate and the level of shadow detail is more than respectable.
Dual layer authoring keeps digital compression artifacts out of the picture.
The Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack decodes to standard surround with decent results, although it lacks the definition of a discrete track. Dialogue is clean, while most of the sound effects and music are localized to the forward soundstage. Surround usage is less than impressive, even for a matrixed soundtrack. The urban music on the soundtrack is adequately represented, but a new discrete mix would have helped to pump the music up to the necessary level of clarity. Subtitles are provided on the DVD in English, French and Spanish.
