...jury report. In South Florida overall, there were 176 pill mills, up from 66 just 14 months before. This has contributed to tourism - pill-shopping trips to the Sunshine State from Tennessee and Kentucky, where authorities have cracked down hard on similar clinics, seem to be as common as Disney vacations nowadays. In the parking lot of the Broward Pain Clinic, there are just as many license plates from Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky as there are from Florida...
...into a family role, especially when she has to balance her soft, caring side for her brother with her bitter hatred for her father. This role is also one that should require more foul language or outward disrespect for authority figures than Cyrus is permitted to deliver in this Disney production.

Its early reels rely too heavily on the conceit that medieval Norsemen spoke with a Scots accent, and the other teens in Hiccup's dragon-training class never surmount their stereotypes. But Sanders and DeBlois, two Disney vets who told a similar kid-and-feral-pet fable in 2002's Lilo & Stitch, have the knack of giving life to fantastical interspecies friendships. And the technicians at their disposal (including the Coen brothers' ace cinematographer, Roger Deakins) have splashed the screen with landscapes that would captivate all eyes...
