PLOT SYNOPSIS |
| Jerri Blank (AMY SEDARIS) is a 47-year-old ex-con who returns to her childhood home after spending 32 years working the streets and in prison. Upon her arrival, she discovers her father is in a self-induced coma. Hoping to wake him, Jerry decides to turn her life around by picking it up exactly where she left off – as a high school freshman. But for a former boozer, user, and loser, hanging with the “in” crowd is going to be harder than turning tricks! |

Strangers With Candy debuts on Blu-ray from Shout Factory and given a 1080p high-definition transfer taken from a new 4K transfer from the 35mm Interpositive. As it is, its certainly not a bad looking picture but really lacking incredibly clarity. Colors are decent enough but hardly vibrant. Still, the transfer is relatively clean free of dust or pixilation. The included DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track offers up clear dialogue and is perfectly adequate for a comedy like this. There’s not a whole lot of great depth or anything but the music and score does come though fairly well. |
