...ultimately winning. Perhaps most impressive of all is Jane Lynch as the ex-con director of the mentoring program. Lynch has played wacky before in films like “Best in Show,” but she pushes the bounds of sanity with her over-the-top humor, simultaneously making the audience laugh and cringe. Lynch steals the movie in just a handful of scenes. The leads, on the other hand, are merely passable. Rudd seems to have cornered the market on depressive, unfulfilled pessimists, having played similar roles in “Knocked Up?...

Anti-immigrationists should know that our leaders are being chosen by aliens...
...coming years as great ones to make movies, especially ones that have a social conscience. It will be like a big bright ray of sunlight and hope. Filmmakers and artists always thrive during more liberal times. The F.D.R. era gave us Frank Capra and Preston Sturges. Will Rogers - humor, politics, populism - was the No. 1 box-office star two or three years in a row. Not to mention The Grapes of Wrath and Woody Guthrie.
