...zips down the street in a yellow sports car embellished with the welcoming bumper sticker, “Free hugs, one size fits all.” Though not moronic by any measure, Corky lacks common sense and is naive to the ways of the world. His innocence is cute, and his incessant grin begs you to just run up and pinch his little cheeks. And aside from the standard problem of trying to put an overfed, bloated cat to sleep, things are going well for him, until he recieves a phone call from his estranged family. He quickly finds...
...interactive agent that answers general news questions. Send a message to the screen name SmarterChild, for example, and the bot created by ActiveBuddy, based in New York City, will deliver headlines and stock quotes in less than five seconds.

...really argue? Cusack’s on quite a roll right now, deftly walking the leading-man middle ground like a cute date balancing on the side of a fountain. He can do savvy without resorting to “I’m-Slick” posturing (e.g., Pierce Brosnan, whose tie-adjusting characterizations all suffer from acute Bond Envy), and he can do sensitive, but without the moistened doe-eyes (e.g., Nicholas Cage, whose recent turns in Family Man and Captain Corelli’s Mandolin have proved that he can do insufferable mournfulness like no other).

Cusack plays Jonathan Trager, a nice floppy-haired guy; Kate Beckinsale (of Pearl Harbor ‘fame’) plays Sara, a nice wild-haired girl.

The pair, nonetheless, hit it off, and together they enjoy a wonderful, life-changing day. We know that they...
...that had my audience guffawing gently near the beginning, groaning by the end. I’m not certain whether the groans were a reaction to the shamelessness of the plot contrivances, or whether the audience simply wanted to see Beckinsale and Cusack together already. They are, admittedly, really cute together. Beckinsale lends earnestness to a somewhat flimsy character, and Cusack, we’ve talked about him. But if you came to see sparks fly between the leads, be advised, a bathroom break is not a good idea...
