Mogolov was engaging and funny as David, who undergoes his own form of self-discovery while attempting to find a new job—a remarkable venture for his usual laziness. Mogolov’s deadpan comedy was more likely to garner easy laughs; for instance, David claims that his biggest problem is that he is “a shmuck.” Mogolov’s portrayal of David’s lethargy was amusingly self-deprecating; although he did not have the weight of a deeply rooted pain to portray, he mastered David’s laziness...
...sits in a deserted midtown New York City restaurant in his three-stripe Adidas jacket and heavily pocketed khakis. It turns out he spent the morning at a children's museum, put a little too much enthusiasm into picking up his 22-month-old daughter Violet (with wife Jennifer Garner) and threw out his back. The tenderness is not just around the lumbar region, however. He's cautious. The a≠able, self-deprecating, funny guest of Jay Leno or Jon Stewart is not here today.

As long as admissions committees are aware of the test’s limitations and interpret scores with the applicant’s socioeconomic background in mind, considering test scores may greatly expedite what would otherwise...
...along a crack trio that updates the multi-ethnic squads found in old World War II movies, and is guaranteed to piss off the religiously and socially conservative Saudis. Along with the black guy, there's the older man (Chris Cooper) who swears a lot; the woman doctor (Jennifer Garner) who insists on wearing tight T shirts; oh, and the Jew (Jason Bateman). Too bad there's no cross-dressing speaker of Arabic. This film doesn't need Jamie Foxx; it needs Jamie Farr...
