...whole, Kohl's naivete and charm more than make up for his one-sided judgments. The passion he develops in the reader for elementary school is completely infectious and equally uplifting, while his students are more often than not downright cute (case in point, the Pee-Wee song: "I'm a Pee Wee / You're a Boo Boo / Get the heck out of here"). In spite of the flaws present in his approach or the occasional Elijian woe-is-me depression, Kohl's enthusiasm and unbroken spirit motivate and inspire, giving a bright point of light in the oft-maligned...
This one's a sure bet: media darlings Matt Damon and Ben Affleck for Good Will Hunting. Hollywood simply can't get over the fact that two actors can actually write a successful movie script (and still be so darn cute!). Their screenplay is far from being as good as everyone's making it out to be, but the other nominees don't have that much more compelling a claim--though The Full Monty manages to balance its killingly funny physical gags with a surprisingly poignant, though too easily resolved, storyline...

A gigantic grid of flourescent lights dangling at varying angles just inches above the dancers' heads adds to the surreal, Blade Runner-esque mood onstage. No-sweat-showing spandex and stretch velvet seem to be costume designer Santo Loquasto's fabrics of choice for this production--the men don shimmery silver tank tops and billowy white pants, while the women wear either two-color fluttery gowns resembling beach cover-ups, or bathing beauty-style suits...
