Following a difficult breakup with his girlfriend, Peter (Marcus Thomas) decides to audition for a community-theater production of Cyrano de Bergerac, even though he lacks any acting experience. Despite a less-than-stellar reading with the theater's star actor, Michael (John Corbett), the show's producer sees a spark in Peter and gives him the part. With a lot of advice from the rest of the cast, Marcus eventually finds his inner actor—and learns a little bit about himself along the way.

The DVD's 1.85:1 anamorphic picture offers an adequate amount of contrast and a vibrant color palette, delivering detail even in darker scenes. However, the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack gets nothing more than a few music cues and a lot of dialogue with which to work, making for a decidedly drab home theater presentation.

In the way of extras, don't look for anything more than a static menu, which seems almost quaint in today's world of special editions and director's cuts. In fact, supplemental material has become something that most viewers almost take for granted when they plunk down $15 on a new DVD. It's not so much that every film requires a comprehensive level of examination, but it's nice to know that it's available. The fact of the matter is, most extras on major-studio releases are produced during a film's shoot, so, when a new film hits DVD with nothing in the way of commentary tracks or even a lame making-of documentary, it's a bit of a head-scratcher.
