...star turns are less important here than the visual vibe that Taymor brings to the songs. Strip away the plot - which would be my solution to the wrangles over final cut - and Across the Universe has about an hour of creatively illustrated songs.

And to the list of great philosophical dialectics--good/evil, yin/yang--it added another: "That sucks"/ "That's cool." Beavis and Butt-head were always...
