...Marco, played by Asher Book, has the dopey grin of Andrew Shue and sings like a dream. Denise (Naturi Naughton, a petite Jennifer Hudson type) is the classical pianist with the urge to sing - when she does so the first time in the movie, her eyes well up with tears and the preview audience burst into applause - but her uptight parents want her to walk the straight and narrow.

...Consider this exchange: "I feel tingly," one male animal says to another. "Don't say that when you are pressed up against me," it retorts.

...more of a bargain, but the G1 is far from perfect. The keys on its keyboard are almost comically tiny. The touch-sensitive onscreen zoom feature isn't as intuitive as the iPhone's. And the rumored cut-and-paste function in e-mail is a bit dopey: it doesn't let you rearrange individual words or phrases; instead, you can only cut and paste an entire message.
