...because Rick, like every other Ferrell male, is no more self-conscious than he is self-aware, there will be the actor's requisite topless scene. For if Matthew McConaughey is the alpha male, Ferrell is the omega. His chest is large, white and flabby, and it's pocked with what look like dozens of tiny, imperfectly attached hair-implant tufts. It might be a helicopter's eye view of merino sheep stranded on a tundra.

Two other lucky breaks: the recent absence of R-rated guys...
...Inglourious Basterds (Quentin Tarantino; in theaters 8/21) In the Pulp Fiction guy's alternative World War II, French and U.S. Jews defeat Hitler. The film's not such a clear triumph, but Best Actor Christoph Waltz is one charming conniver of a Nazi colonel...
