Title: DON'T BUY THIS DVD!
Product review: I love this film -- it's cute, funny, surprising, sentimental, the performances are excellent (and according to Jodie Foster's commentary, some parts were ad-libbed)...it's one of my favorites...BUT the DVD is the worst-produced DVD I've ever seen! The whole movie looks like it was shot by a single 40-Watt light bulb; even with my brightness controls at maximum, I could barely see anything. The outdoor daylight scenes look like they were shot at night (the only exception is the short fantasy sequence at the end). AND it's jittery, like something downstreaming from the internet, especially if the closed-captions (which flash on for half a second) are on. I'm sure Jodie Foster doesn't know her excellent work is being represented by such poor production. I notice the other reviews I read were all in reference to the VHS version...perhaps I should have gotten that instead.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
