The star looks puffy and has a gut you could park a Hummer on. Weighing in at a sedentary 220 lb. (100 kg), he's playing a desk jockey burdened by the usual bureaucratic bull plus a scandal that has put his career in the commode. (In the original film, Matthau rarely rose to anger; he was a weary, wily guy, just doing his job. This time it's personal...

The answer that popped into my head was “being here.” Which I wouldn’t have been, were it not for the now-defunct transfer admissions program...
