NEW LINE has made "The Wedding Singer" available for purchase in 3 formats, laserdisc with DTS sound, laserdisc with Dolby Digital sound, and DVD with Dolby Digital.    While the DVD has the added benefits of  Karaoke sing-a-longs, and enhanced picture clarity.  Both laserdiscs offer superb fleshtones and contrast.   There are plenty of dark scenes in which the picture never loses its clarity on either laserdisc, although the DVD has the clear advantage of greater clarity.   However, nothing beats the experience of  listening to the movie in DTS!   The film's most exhilerating moments utilize an 80s soundtrack of nostalgic songs.   While the Dolby Digital version sounds impressive, it can't compete with the added oomph from the bass and even further enhanced separation effects inherent in well encoded DTS lasers, as is the case here.  The picture to both laserdisc versions appears to be from the same master.  This is the kind of demonstration disc that should cause DVD lovers to await the future benefits of DTS DVDS, whenever they're finally available!!!

The newest Adam Sandler comedy, "The Wedding Singer" has been released on laserdisc and DVD.  There are some truly hilarious moments here, and the nostalgic sentiment running through the film, including Billy Idol appearing as a kinder, gentler rock star, are sure to please all those viewers having grown up in the 80s.  The film only loses its pacing when Sandler tries too hard to be too nice.  The Soundtrack is awsome, and that's where the Dolby Digital encoding makes all the difference.  While the pro-logic sound is decent,  The Dolby Digital sound is much more defined than the standard "pro-logic" surrond with more elaborate separational effects.  If one doesn't own the necessary DTS equipment, the Dolby Digital disc is the next best thing. The picture quality is excellent and appears to be from the same master as the DTS version..  Fleshtones are wonderful, and the contrast is sharp.  The film has been matted with the proper 1.85:1 aspect ratio.
