...newspaper movies is its honesty. The columnist wants that column, and maybe a follow up, and yes, making a sorry life less sad is good, but he never wanted to become a defacto one-man Social Services Agency. He can't cure Ayers and no one is trying to gloss over that reality here (except for one scene at the end that contradicts what we've come to know about Ayers' ability to cope with crowds). All Lopez can do is try to help, and the movie gives testimony to the way newspapers can comfort the afflicted...

At No. 2, the partnership of sophomore Aba Omodele-Lucien and senior Sasha Ermakov won resoundingly against Justen Roth and Phil Law (8-2), followed by a point-clinching win for the No. 3 pairing of junior Michael Hayes and freshman Alistair Felton (8-1).

...rest of the Adventureland gang is good company as well. There's gangly, pimply, well-read Joel (Martin Starr), who offers James proof that there's intelligent life outside the Ivies. Lisa P (Margarita Levieva) is the essence of a mid-'80s goddess, all lip gloss, tight high-waisted pants and fluffy hair. An older, married handyman named Connell (Ryan Reynolds) flirts with every female employee, including the smart, sullen one James likes, Em (Twilight's Kristen Stewart, whose grins are seldom but feel like sunshine in an Alaskan winter). Connell is James' polar opposite, a heel who relishes being...
