Maria Ripol's family comedy Tortilla Soup comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. English and Spanish soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Subtitles are accessible in both of those languages as well. The lack of any consequential supplemental materials is difficult to swallow, but this Columbia/TriStar release does do a fine job of presenting the film. For fans of the movie, this DVD will hit the spot. |
