...They make some kind of food at the Munck plant in New Ulm, Minn., but the camera is too distracted by its intent to build a case against Lucy (Zellweger) to ever show us precisely what. Instead, director Jonas Elmer keeps our eyes fixed at the level of supercilious Lucy's excruciatingly high heels as she minces around the factory, to hammer home the fact that she's a fish out of water.

Happily, though, our new President seems to have an honest predilection for treating his opponents with respect. He seems intent on hearing their points of view and arguing, decorously, with them - that's why he accepted a dinner invitation at conservative columnist George Will's house. This is radical behavior in the village on the Potomac. It could force everyone to argue more carefully, to think twice before casting aspersions...
