...HBO’s “Angels in America”—whom they have dubbed “The Prom King” for his All-American good looks and athleticism. To the shock of other moms, Sarah approaches him and engages him in witty banter. The Prom King, whose real name is Brad, stays at home with his son while his equally attractive wife (Jennifer Connelly, in a surprisingly small role) supports the family. Brad has failed the bar exam twice and is studying to take it for the third and final time. Brad...
