Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave Review
I have seen all four shorts (A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave, A Matter of Loaf and Death) as well as the full length movie "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit", and out of all of these gems this film is by far my favorite. The pace of the movie is just right, I love the developing romance between Wallace & Wendolene and the movie is chock full of delightful nonstop family friendly humor. Of all the films I also found this one to have the most in terms of exposing non-Brits to aspects of British culture.
Just about the ONLY drawback to this film is that it was meant to be seen in anamorphic widescreen, but Lionsgate seems to have a consistently bad habit of producing almost all of it's DVD's in "pan-&-scan" full-screen only, making a loss of over 33% of the intended picture ratio. I believe Lionsgate's business strategy is to only produce full-screen W&G films to DVD, but to then offer proper widescreen versions on BLUE-RAY disc only.
That aside, of all the W&G films I recommend this one the most and it should be an instant classic for many years of family viewing!
