...Joey Ramone Joey was a gangling glandular freak with skin like milk, thin but with wide, girlish hips, topping out at 6'5" or 6'6". He was probably the oddest-looking physical specimen to ever front a successful rock band. He never looked healthy, always pasty and white like something hidden from the sun for a long time...
...Hepburn' when they speak about her, and that's one of the big Audrey parts of her: she can turn a little silent moment into a one-act play. She also has this sense of humor that's waiting to pounce.

Throughout the film, there's a sense of dislocation: the characters are constantly on the go, traveling by bus, plane, and taxi; they've all lost hold of exactly where and who they are. Gwyneth Paltrow portrays a girlish Las Vegas showgirl (she wears pink tights and blue barrettes) who hits the road with a karaoke hustler played by Huey Lewis (yes, that Huey Lewis, as in the News). Paul Giamatti ("Private Parts") is a salesman who has grown so detached from his family that when he returns home, his kids...
