UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - My Best Friend's Wedding -- in 4k UHD (1 Viewer)

[Robert Harris]

Difficult to believe that P.J. Hogan's My Best Friend's Wedding is a quarter of a century old.

It's a rom-com that represents the best of the genre, and stands the test of time beautifully after all those years.

Columbia's team must have a secret sauce of some sort, as the new 4k has a certain look that I love. I've always referred to the appearance as a thick print - meaning perfect density, but with an appearance that makes you think you can almost dip your fingers into the emulsion.

As an example, the opening prologue, now has a far richer background that it did on Blu-ray, which I recall as being pink.

It's beautiful.

No need to go into details. Easiest to simply relate that it's yet another perfect image harvest from Columbia (Sony).

I've seen this film only once, mainly because I've never especially wanted to see it a second time. However, as this disc is so good, I am tempted.

One of those truly outstanding 'feel good' movies that Hollywood used to make pretty much every year to celebrate life, marriage and the human mishmash that can occur on the bumpy road to the altar, but today, doesn't seem to know how to make at all - if, the attempt is even made.

Then again, where, oh where, will we ever find another Julia Roberts? My Best Friend's Wedding always looked incredible on Blu-ray. So, to discover it looking even better in 4K is no great surprise. Actually, given that it was authored/mastered by Sony and Grover Crisp, excellence par excellence was practically expected. Nice to know Mr. Crisp and his staff haven't let us down.

A 'must have' IMO.

I'm just watching my newly purchased 4k disc and I ran into a weird problem.
In the Karaoke scene, at around 0.26' and on, you can hardly hear Diaz singing from the center speaker and you can mostly hear the music only.
(i'm watching in DTS-HD MA 5.1 but it's the same in the other english track too)
But it's not like this in youtube videos I found of the scene in question.
Did anyone else notice this?

edit: I don't know. I finished the film, and now I played again the scene, and it seems somewhat fine... I'm confused.
