It's kind of like when Han got unfrozen in 'Jedi'.
Miss March is so epically bad that there's just no way to adequately criticize it. Perhaps just
a thesaurus list of synonyms for "bad" is in order, as both a means of making this review the
slightest bit educational and taking the edge off after experiencing a movie that makes The Love Guru look like
Casablanca. So without
further ado, here's the list as provided by the Max OS X 10.5.7 widget thesaurus: substandard,
poor, inferior, second-rate, second-class, unsatisfactory, inadequate, unacceptable, not up to
scratch, not up to par, deficient, imperfect, defective, faulty, shoddy, amateurish, careless,
negligent, miserable, sorry, incompetent, inept, inexpert, ineffectual, awful, atrocious, appalling,
execrable, deplorable, terrible, abysmal, godawful, crummy, rotten, pathetic, useless, woeful, bum,
lousy, and not up to snuff. Yikes. Even that list doesn't even begin to describe Miss March.
A typical reaction to 'Miss March.'
Miss March debuts on Blu-ray with a pedestrian 1080p, 1.85:1-framed transfer. The image consistently looks flat and bland with no depth or lifelike definition. Lines are sharp enough, but the film often takes on just the slightest hint of softness. Fine detail is unimpressive. The image clearly benefits from Blu-ray's improved clarity and resolution, but nothing ever stands out to set the image apart from any other. Colors, the transfer's strong suit, are adequately rendered but never really catch the eye. There's very little in the way of visible film grain at normal viewing distances, but the print is absolutely free of dirt, debris, speckles, random lines, or any other sort of anomaly. Blacks are generally fine if not a bit too bright, and flesh tones occasionally take on a red tint. Miss March never takes on a good film-like appearance; instead, it looks like a mediocre high definition television broadcast that looks fine but doesn't come close to competing with the best the Blu-ray format has to offer.
Miss March arrives on Blu-ray with a sufficient but not at all memorable DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. The track springs to life only during the presence of the occasional rap song where bass permeates the listening area to satisfactory effect. Other sorts of music, for instance the film's score, sound just fine but don't excite the senses in the least. There's not much in the way of ambience to this one, and the rear speakers barely kick in to support the front. Dialogue reproduction is fine. Miss March makes for one of the blandest soundtracks on Blu-ray. There's not necessarily anything wrong with it, but there's nothing that stands out as terribly good, either. It does what is asked of it and nothing more, though there's more than one instance where the movie would be better off on mute, anyway.
Miss March contains both the theatrical version and the several-minutes longer unrated version. The supplements are few, beginning with a quintet of viral videos (480p, 13:54), one of which focuses on the film's sound design, the other four focusing on character auditions. Down & Dirty (480p, 2:08) is a brief look at the life of the film's vulgar rapper character. It's available in both a censored and uncensored version. Disc two of this set contains a digital copy of Miss March. Sampled on a second generation iPod Touch, the video serves up the same lackluster presentation as seen on the Blu-ray (though it adds plenty of unsightly blocking), and the soundtrack comes off as uninspired at best.
Sadly, the software does not allow reviewers to rate a movie zero stars, but rest assured this is indeed a zero star movie. Miss March is one of the least-funny and most vapid pictures ever to weasel its way onto celluloid and, now, Blu-ray. Sporting a bland transfer, a decent-at-best soundtrack, and several worthless extras, Miss March isn't even worth consideration.
