All the Real Girls isn’t going to alter the situation, a shame for both moviegoers and the film’s perpetually underappreciated stars. The mischievous Zooey Deschanel (Almost Famous, The Good Girl) finally gets a lead role, playing an 18-year-old poet whose cynical worldview is tempered as she discovers desire, love and sex, and Patricia Clarkson (Far from Heaven) once again finds unexpected depth in what could easily have been a one-dimensional role...

Staff salaries were met with the help of Paramount Pictures, which bought one of Zoetrope's scripts and offered Coppola a low-interest loan. Paramount also secured the distribution rights...
...speeches, no posters, no sound trucks. The approved method of campaigning is for a candidate to move through the legislative corridors, shaking innumerable hands, and murmuring that he would not dream of aspiring to the presidency. In 1920, the late great Georges Clemenceau said of the new President, Paul Deschanel, elected that year: "He has a beautiful future behind...
