...MOST OF the film, Murray is on his own as the comedian, with the rest of the cast combining to form a single gargantuan straight man. Veteran character actor Warren Oates grimaces his way through his role as the proverbial ornery sergeant. Ramis, as Murray's friend, manages one or two very funny scenes on his own, but for the most part simply provides a solid wall for Murray to bounce his own goofy lines off of.

...case, the fluid -those cartoon images of teen-agers and Korean War jets-was transparent. After a while the imagery hardly got in the way at all, and Lichtenstein could be treated as a formalist much more readily than, say, Claes Oldenburg, with his gross impurities and gargantuan appetite for metaphor.

...transition--possibly preluding the government to follow--has been a gargantuan monster slowly trudging through swamps of paper, still unsteady and trying to find its bearing. And don't let anyone fool you: The transition isn't over; it's still revving up. But it has all dragged on too long for at least one candidate for an administration post. Back in November--and again in December and January--Chris DeMuth's name kept popping up on lists of people to head the EPA. As far as he knows, he's still under consideration. But another factor has come into...
