...turn Dr. Hoovey into the cheerful, desperately busy, increasingly addled Mayor of Who-ville (voiced by Carell). On top of his day job, the Mayor has 96 kids to whom he can devoted only 12 secs. each at breakfast time. After all those girls he had a son, JoJo, a silent, sulking lad in Goth attire. (In the original, and JoJo was unrelated to the main Whovian - just "a very small shirker" who performs a crucial role at the climax.) So the movie combines two kinds of parenting: literally, as the Mayor and JoJo find a project to bring them...
...writing duo who both turned 70 this year, the movie constructs six characters in search of the '60s Zeitgeist: the Liverpudlian Jude (Jim Sturgess), his American girlfriend Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), Lucy's rebellious brother Max (Joe Anderson), the Janis Joplin-like Sadie (Dana Fuchs), the Jimi Hendrix-ish JoJo (Martin Luther McCoy) and the Asian, vaguely Yokonian, finally lesbian Prudence (T.V.

It's no wonder that Joe Roth, of the amusingly named Revolution Studios, got onto a tangle with Taymor by recutting the film...
...desk with all of your crap. Don’t take off your shoes if you know your feet may poison the air—especially rain boots after your socks are sopping wet, moldy, and have been fermenting for hours. As much as you may love that Jojo song, it’s not necessary to share it with the world. If the music on your headphones is turned up so high we can hear what you’re listening to, it’s too loud. Don’t convert your study carrel into a make...
