Williams, his dimwitted lead actress-cum-love interest, responds with a mixture of empathy and idiocy: “That’s what’s so refreshing.”From its opening moments, it may seem that screenwriter Charlie Kaufman’s directorial debut is treading water—the notion...

With such recognizable singer-cum-actresses as Latifah, Hudson, and Keys, I nervously awaited group sing-a-longs (à la Beyoncé in “Dreamgirls”). Thankfully, the audience is never put through this torture. Nor does the movie rely too heavily on Fanning and Bettany, two experienced actors, to convey...
