...Rove conceded that he was "the biggest dweeb in my high school" and allowed as how he hasn't changed much in the intervening 32 years. But as he walked to his car outside the West Wing, it was clear that at least one thing had changed. Famous for driving beat-up heaps in Austin, Rove climbed into a metallic-blue Jaguar and roared into the night...

...best animated satires--The Simpsons, South Park--are paeans to the power of stupidity. Gary and Mike are no Homer and Bart, but this Claymation-com is at least better than its premise. (Dweeb and slacker go on road trip; hilarity, rabbit squashing ensue.) The gross-out humor misses more than it hits, but the show can surprise you, as when the dim duo visit Washington and ruins the life-work of an earnest Senator, turning a pat setup on its head: the pol is betrayed by the people. It's worth seeing where this ride goes...

Bedazzled, a Faust farce directed by Harold Ramis, is quite close in silhouette to the Peter Cook-Dudley Moore Bedazzled of 1967--with the petty distinction that the old film was funny, the new one mostly not. A lonely dweeb (Brendan Fraser) is so desperate to win the affections of a co-worker (Frances O'Connor) that he signs a pact with the Horned One (Elizabeth Hurley) that offers him seven shots at ecstasy for his puny little soul. Alas, the skitcom format soon becomes tiresome; comic inventiveness should have been Ramis' first wish...

...climate with the touch of a button, from Arctic tundra to equatorial tropic. The cabin is virtually soundproof. Your "pilot's chair" has more positions than a Barcalounger. You can't listen to that old Sammy Davis Jr. tape at home because your kids will think you're a dweeb, but in the car, the audience roars as you belt out I've Gotta Be Me. Coffee steams from the cup holder, a bag of Beer Nuts sits open at your side, and God knows you're safe. The safety belt is strapped snugly across your body, and if that...
