...Madison, Wisc., where (in this otherwise oddly apolitical film) students can briefly be seen carrying banners that denounce the CIA. We're here for a How Not To course in New Age wooziness, mentored by L N (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a professor with tons of family money, and her sponging beau Rod (Josh Hamilton). At least the satire directed at this couple - a two-spouted fountain of cockeyed parenting theories - occasionally hits the mark. When Rod explains the mating of sea horses, L N purrs, "If I could, I would lay my eggs in your brood-pouch." Rod thinks...
...years. You might have expected her to open a restaurant in Paris on the strength of it (her base is Valence, in southwest France), but as with her cooking, she likes to confound expectations.

...Appearing as Anna's would-be beau was a strapping Irishman, Liam Neeson, who became an instant matinee idol by playing the role like a backward child with an oversize soul, lurching in an instant from anger to perplexity. It was this performance that convinced Steven Spielberg to cast Neeson as the star of Schindler's List. The actor had a similarly galvanizing effect on Richardson. Married at the time to actor Robert Fox, she divorced him and married Neeson the following year; Franco Nero gave the bride away, Natasha's father having died in 1991. The couple...
