...maybe it's proof that the pre-Apatow age of movie comedy is officially over. There's a reason Peter seems so... so very odd. He's an avatar of traditional Hollywood romantic comedy, where the male tries to be suave and caring, to be the man women love. But that form of movie romance is anachronistic, when most pictures insist that the crucial relationship is guy-guy. Peter has honed the wrong skills; in this movie he doesn't have to get the girl; he already has her. He has to become a supporter of Guy Marriage...

But in Hollywood it mostly leads to unintentional vanishing acts or inspires unfortunate experiments with surgery. Roberts could toss aside her career--unless Bernie Madoff managed her money, she shouldn't need the paycheck--but she doesn't want to. Working, she has said, brings some form into the "shapeless blob of happy chaos" that is motherhood. I've already seen Duplicity, but I'd be willing...
