...momentum or significance to justify their existences. A rivalry with fellow oceanographer Alistair Hennessey (Jeff Goldblum) offers a handful of barbed laughs, but ultimately devolves into plot-driving filler. Utterly superfluous segments about the expedition’s financial woes cheekily squander the ample talents of actor Michael Gambon (Gosford Park). To decry an Anderson film for its sideline prattling may be missing the point, but where seemingly nonsensical scenes might have served to amplify Zissou’s tragic failings or better explain his often whimsical actions, they instead pack the film with tedious dialogue...
...toddlers are banned, and parents of children under 7 are advised not to bring them.) For those to whom Mary Poppins means Julie Andrews' warm smile - almost everyone, in other words - that could be a problem. But Mackintosh, Schumacher and scriptwriter Julian Fellowes (best known for the films Gosford Park and Vanity Fair) all wanted to incorporate elements of the Mary from Pamela Travers' 1930s books - and she can be, well, a bit of a bitch.

...that he's one of the people - but he's doing it in a peculiarly Australian way, using the vernacular and mundane experiences to connect.

How wonderful it was to be back in "God's own country," he said. The people of the "Coast" lapped it up; this line wasn't crafted by a spin doctor or slipped in by a local party hack. He knew...
...know what director Nigel Cole said to convince some of Britain's most beloved actresses to bare all, but he didn't just want them for their bodies. Helen Mirren is superb as Chris, the brains behind the project. In a turnaround from her reserved roles in Gosford Park and Last Orders, she's wickedly witty and absolutely radiant. As her more grounded best friend Annie, Julie Walters reins in her usual gag-a-minute cheekiness with quiet dignity, but gets some of the film's best lines: "Of course we're not going to go prancing around naked...
...synching an aria from The Barber of Seville to be comedy. You can see the germ of physical shock comics like Tom Green and Johnny Knoxville in Lewis, as embodied by Sean Hayes (Will and Grace's Jack), who is all rubber legs and flailing arms. Jeremy Northam (Gosford Park) is believable as Martin, but he can't compete with Hayes' human Warner Bros. cartoon...
