...while still a teenager, becoming a full agent by the time he was 21 and a millionaire by his mid-20s--that he never had a chance to figure out who he was, beneath all the trappings of worldly success. He spoke eagerly, with a midrange, clipped California accent, his voice filling the room with vague blandishments about how eager he was to stay sober and how grateful he was to his fellow agents who had intervened to send him here and how he was looking forward to getting back to work...
...band when we know how lame the members were to begin with? Would any girl still scream at the Backstreet Boys if she watched videotapes of the boys milking cows or shoveling manure out in a Nebraska cornfield?

Walken used to be a Broadway dancer, but here he's just a misstep...

While Moony's (played by Ken Herrera '03) Brooklyn accent takes a while to warm up, and while his character's jokes don't always come off quite right, he's got a lot of energy and heart, and it shows. Same for Jennifer Glick '00 (Hope Harcourt)--she starts out a little too plasticky for her character but warms to the task, and eventually shines during the jail scene. In Jac Huberman '01, the performance of Bonnie is made...
