...rather than sensitively exploring the complexities of constructing gender in a pre-Judith Butler world, the movie’s incessantly pat heteronormativity borders on the offensive: Kynston can’t be a man again until he sleeps with a woman, and there are repeated jokes about how one partner in a same-sex relationship must always play the woman. Even the lovable Rupert Everett, hamming it up in the role of the pompous but strikingly enlightened King Charles II, couldn’t redeem the film though, it should be noted, the second aforementioned sex scene involved...
...make the world's smartest people look like complete idiots. So let's look at a few more.

Butler himself claimed he was against violence, however, and operated relatively unhindered until he was bankrupted by a $6.3 million lawsuit in 2001--stemming from a 1998 incident...
...cornerbacks, Keith Howell (6’0) and Gary Sonkur (5’9), cede fewer inches to opposing wide receivers than Crimson defensive backs have in the past, making O’Neil’s margin for error even smaller than last year, when Sonkur and Benny Butler ’04 (5’8) prowled the defensive backfield...
