Once again, VCI do themselves proud. Bar the occasional fleck on the print
there's no flaws with this anamorphic 16:9 picture, reproduced in the
original theatrical ratio of 1.85:1 (not "16:9" as stated on the back cover).
The colours in the print are as lush and inviting as the purple amaray case
the disc comes in and the average bitrate is a superb 7.63Mb/s, often peaking
at 9Mb/s.
The sound is Dolby Digital 5.1 surround and the soundtrack includes the
film's signature tune "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer
which reached No.4 in the UK charts last May, plus a number of others
including Fatboy Slim's Rockafeller Skank and The Wiseguys'
Oh La La. There's nothing that particularly stands out here but the
dialogue and ambience are the sound quality's main benefactors.
Extras :
Chapters & Trailer :
17 chapters, 16 for the film and one separate for the end credits. Most
scenes are covered here so it's a fair number. The original theatrical
trailer is included.
Languages/Subtitles :
English Dolby Digital 5.1, with subtitles in English for the hard of hearing.
And there's more... :
Shooting The Movie brings you six minutes in the life of the
cast and crew as they made the film and Yearbook Photo Library
provides 20 still pictures from the film, mainly of the two leads, but while
this doesn't work on the version 3.0 drivers of my Creative Dxr2 DVD-ROM, the
version 2.0 drivers have no problem whatsoever. Finally all the cast worth a
mention, as well as the director, get a couple of minutes to say their piece
in the Interviews section.
Menu :
A static menu with options to start the film, select a scene or visit
the extras menu, with the tuneful "Kiss Me" playing in the background.
An engaging and endearing film, a picture quality that while not perfect
is streets ahead of most releases including the Region 1 disc which isn't
anamorphic and some decent extras (another point scored against the US
release) make this a disc worthy of anyone's attention.
