...Toro who drives us out of sympathy with this picture. The director, Susanne Bier, whose After the Wedding was a very good film, either can't or won't control him, and he is a shameless performer - constantly suing us for sympathy, by tricks that are either too cute or too crude.

Gosling's teachers didn't find the antiauthority thing terribly cute, so when he was 10 his mom, whom he describes as Karin-like in her tenacity, began homeschooling him. At 12, Gosling auditioned for The All New Mickey Mouse Club, the 1990s revival of the kiddie variety show, the one that launched the more mainstream careers of Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears...
