I may be wrong, but it appears to me like 20th Century Fox just recycled an old master--probably the same high def master that was downscaled for the film's DVD release. This simply doesn't look like a picture that was remastered with Blu-ray in mind. For example, the frequent haloing that occurs around hard outlines? A dead give-away of edge enhancement. This wouldn't be as noticeable on DVD, but in 1080p it gives the picture a slightly harsh, mildly unnatural look. Digital noise reduction isn't as much of an issue, thankfully--there are no waxy, clay-like faces here, and grain is still visible--but the artificial sharpening is a bit of a put-off. Still, you can't say the Blu-ray doesn't look better than the DVD. Overall clarity is definitely improved, with facial and clothing textures that are more easily visible. Color is nicely reproduced too. There's not much notable about the film's cinematography--it has that typical bright, clean rom-com aesthetic--but the colors are dense and vivid, without looking oversaturated in the skin tones. The Blu-ray probably isn't worth the upgrade if you already own the film on DVD, but if you've yet to buy the movie, this is your best bet. Just don't expect high definition miracles. Fever Pitch Blu-ray, Audio QualityFox has given the film the usual lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround mix, and though it never really works up much energy, the track is respectable enough for this kind of film. I mean, let's be honest; nobody's expecting brilliant, immersive, dynamically expressive sound design from a mid-2000s rom-com. The real channels are quiet-bordering-on-silent for much of the movie, but they do pipe to life when needed for ambience--like the crowd-goes-wild clamor at the stadium--and a small handful of directional effects. The score and the occasional pop song liven things up too, but the real focus here is on clean, balanced, easily understood dialogue. In that, the mix does exactly what it needs to do. The disc includes French and Spanish dubs--in Dolby Digital 5.1--along with optional English SDH and Spanish subtitles.
