...heavyweights, is the country-tinged ditty "Co-Pilot" which reminisces over adolescent infatuation. The dreamy song begins a '60s high school love song kitsch and quickly leaps into sappy, swinging obsession with the first lyric. Despite immediately trying to deny "Co-Pilot," escape from the unforgettable melody and the blend of Hanley and supporting vocals, wrapping up the song is impossible...
Pope John Paul II will travel to Brazil to start a four-day tour designed to return many of the nation's lapsed Catholics back to the fold. The Pope will try to address a 20-year decline in the nation's Catholic population with his usual blend of the spectacular (masses held in soccer stadiums) and the divine (speeches attacking abortion, extolling the virtues of the family and urging people to be more Catholic...
...coming from? Can you predict the blissful place it's heading? Of course you can. What may surprise you--given the desperate energies being applied to this genre these days--is the film's confident, unforced air. Some of that derives from Aniston's performance, a nicely judged blend of intelligence and inexperience, briskness and softness.

And her nicely judged blend of intelligence and inexperience saves the slightly silly premise (woman needs man to play her husband in order to get a raise) of this romantic comedy. "Director and co-writer Glenn Gordon Caron, late of 'Moonlighting,' operates in the same smart, patient manner," says Schickel You might wish he and his colleagues had toasted Nick, their studmuffin, a little more crisply -- enough of these...
