...bothered to hunt up some vegetables or take a jog now and then, your weight problems are your own. But if that philosophy seems harsh when we're dealing with adults--not to mention blind to the enormous health-care costs that will burden the nation--it's positively heartless toward children. An Oglala Sioux on the reservation, a first-generation Hispanic American in L.A., a poor white kid in the hills of West Virginia--no one asks to be born into an environment where obesity seems to be the default fate.

He remains dedicated...

Prinze’s mediocre performance is a perfect match to the film’s corny plot, which isn’t terrible but nonetheless fails to rise above the chick-flick genre. Prinze plays Jack, a heartless and materialistic advertising executive with a soul in serious need of rescue. Enter: Jill, played by still up-and-coming actress Taryn Manning, a beautiful and charismatic young woman with a carefree attitude. Jack is struck by her positive approach to life and the two become roommates (and a pseudo...
