...can’t seem to land a girlfriend. You are totally nonplussed at the lack of attention you receive from girls—after all, who can resist a guy who produces his own podcast touting Captain Kirk over Captain Picard and is fluent in four languages, including Elfish? Even with these credentials, however, you find that the most interaction you have with girls at Harvard occurs when you stand next to them in line at the dining hall...

Holm is awkwardly funny in a sort of ludicrous, obvious way, not even bothering to sustain a French accent. Agamemnon (Sean Connery, looking at once--and for once--agacious, fatherly, and mischievous), is concerned more with magic tricks...
