...watch Parker seduce McConaughey, perhaps the audience is also being manipulated into thinking this is a smart, funny romantic comedy. The film crosses off every point on the romantic comedy checklist: all the supporting players find love as well, there are slapstick encounters with animals, and convenient explanations abound in the last reel to tie up all the movie’s loose ends. But, in spite of it all, there are some genuine laughs to be had.McConaughey’s performance solidifies his place in Hollywood as the newest go-to guy for traditional romantic comedy leads, adding...

It’s the holiday shopping season, and opportunities to save abound. But as an international student, one particular type of offer stands just beyond the pale of attainability for me.

But one glance at the application form for the card was enough to dash my hopes...
