Catherine McCormack delivers a refreshing, funny and inspired performance in Marshal Herskovitz's new period piece.

At school she is torn between an enduring affection for her childhood friend Sharon -- a well- behaved clarinetist dressed to her socks in pink...
...thanks to a new road from the Israeli border enabling tourists to skirt rebellious Palestinian villages -- and thus reduce the risk of a Molotov cocktail through the windshield. Although Gush Katif's Palestinian laborers have twice turned on their employers and stabbed two of them to death, spokeswoman Datya Herskovitz says not to worry: the attacks took place in the greenhouse district, not in the residential areas where visitors stay. She does caution, though, against roaming beyond the confines of Gush Katif. Several months ago, an Israeli businessman took a wrong turn into a Palestinian refugee camp and was shot...
