...Joan Cusack and Steve Zahn, is actually qualified to do solid vocal work, not just be a cool celebrity cameo (I’m looking at you, Katie Couric in “Shark Tale”). But they can’t turn bad lines into good ones. Braff conquers with his delivery and lucks out on having some choice lines with which to work— “Prepare to hurt, and I don’t mean emotionally, like I do.” The soundtrack for the film mirrors exactly what is wrong with...
...puckish American Dog, about a canine celebrity who thinks he's still on his TV show when he's really stranded in the desert. Those three films have a high standard to meet in the sassy, bouncy Chicken Little. The title character (voiced by Zach Braff) has huge glasses and a studious mien.

...course, this is an over-simplification. Many of the most popular weblogs are popular precisely because they’re run by someone famous from the “real world,” like Appeals Court Judge Richard Posner or actor Zach Braff (director and star of the movie Garden State). But the point isn’t that identity buys you nothing online. Rather, it’s that identity is difficult to establish there, and so in large part the web is a meritocracy: it acts like an enormous lens, magnifying good ideas and things people like...
