...merely preening Pirelli, "the barber of kings, the king of barbers," impersonated with gusto by Sacha Baron Cohen. (All those real people Baron Cohen has fooled and mocked in his Ali G. and Borat incarnations may flock to see Pirelli get outsmarted and sliced up.) There is one decent young couple, a mirror of the barber and his wife in their early bliss: Sweeney's daughter Joanna (Jayne Wisener) and her beau Anthony (Jamie Campbell Bower, who looks, somewhat disconcertingly, like Scarlett Johansson, and sings with a robust tenderness).

...Below” was no doubt the result of André 3000 stealing tracks from Prince’s vaults, and “Futuresex/Lovesounds” isn’t nearly as futuristic or original as JT would like you to think. Prince himself has released three decent albums during that same five-year period, but they’ve gone relatively unnoticed. No matter. Purple still reigns. Just ask Cam’ron. So don’t blame The-Dream for being in thrall to Prince. Any aspiring R&B singer would do well to study...

...first to be set in his adopted home, and he deftly conjures an American landscape of rolling, wide-open spaces spangled by brawny, glimmering rivers ("This sight beats the Yangtze," Pingping gushes, while she gazes at the "mighty and vast" Hudson, just outside New York City). There are also decent depictions of bland, sleepy McSuburbs like Lilburn, Ga. - a typical bedroom community of electricians, engineers, stucco churches and donut shops near Atlanta, where the family eventually moves after buying the Gold Wok, a local Chinese restaurant...
