Title: Wretched transfer!
Review: Maid to Order, while an entertaining film (definitely not great, but good enough to entertain), suffers drastically from a terrible transfer. Call it "Lionsgate Syndrome." The studio dredges out this film from their vast resevoir, a film in slight demand from a sentimental audience (I do love the 80's), and just-well, transfers it. No clean-up whatsoever. The original film stock in all of its grainy, fuzzy-looking glory are presented here, available for public purchase for the first time on DVD (as of 2002).The fact that it's available on DVD is obviously not to amass consumer respect, but rather to make a speedy dollar; there are no extras (not even a film trailer!), no actor biographies, no movie stills, none of the cheap-o extras one expects from a cheap DVD-just the badly transferred movie. Allow me to reiterate this: all you get is a badly transferred movie. It's VHS quality on DVD. Scrap it.
