...movies, being out of touch with your buddies is a terrible offense and must be corrected immediately, no matter the cause. Nick and Adam have grown apart for standard reasons: Nick's friends think he is completely whipped by his wife (he has hyphenated his last name with hers) and his career is in the toilet (he works at a pet-grooming parlor called 'Sup Dawg).

...tent cities. Markendie Paul, 26, leans against the aluminum siding of a shanty with a group of friends. This is how he spends his day, just joking around with friends, but he says he would love to leave Port-au-Prince if he could find work. "Look, we are grown men with beards, and I'm asking my mother for a little money to buy coffee in the morning," says Paul. "I would like to find work to be the one to help my family."
