Sound occasionally slips through to the front side speakers, though, and can sometimes create a decent little bit of ambience. The surround channels seem largely ignored with only rare bursts of effects or a little music. Given the age of the material, this is slightly disappointing but seems pretty well what one would expect of a comedy from 1987. The quality of the audio also appears fairly typical for the time period. Dialogue is well-reproduced and easily intelligible, though it lacks much depth.
Music seems slightly thin and reedy but appears smooth and clear at least.
Effects come across about the same way, with decent accuracy but not much life. The only area in which Roxanne bombs comes when we examine its supplements. The DVD includes a theatrical trailer and some brief but mildly interesting production notes in its booklet. It's a pretty weak batch of extras. Roxanne makes for a moderately entertaining film and comes as a moderately well-done DVD, with pretty good picture and sound but a serious paucity of supplements.
