...mostly pertaining to Oscar's schooling issues) and a few scenes that don't run as smoothly as they should, but it is filled with fine performances, including some nice supporting work by Zahn, who gets a rare chance to be sexy as that weak-willed adulterer. Clifton Collins Jr. makes an appealingly laconic one-armed shopkeeper and 24's Mary Lynn Rajskub earns every second of her screen time playing the estranged daughter of one of Rose and Norah's "clients...
...Worse still was Diuguid’s allegation that calling Obama “socialist” was racist due to J. Edgar Hoover’s labeling of civil-rights icons Martin Luther King, Jr., and W.E.B. Du Bois as such. Just because the long list of individuals smeared as socialist happens to include prominent blacks alongside prominent whites like Franklin Roosevelt and every Democrat since does not make the word racial. Furthermore, the socialism charge was not leveled until Obama told a certain plumber that he wished to “spread the wealth around...
...long, clumsy scrawls. The budding romance between Dan and Laurie is tepidly drawn and wanly performed; those who've seen 300 know Snyder is in no way an actor's director. (The two self-starters are Haley, who does right by his grizzled role, and Morgan, a Robert Downey Jr. knockoff who chews the scenery and his stogie with equal aplomb.)

When Griffey’s more arrogant brethren are turning down $25 million/year deals and wringing team owners for every penny before they agree to play the sport they treasure, it can be hard to identify respectable motives...
...energizing ineptness of an exchange in an Ed Wood movie, or the carefully detailed high camp of the performances in David Lynch's Dune. It's just, mostly, inert. (The two self-starters are Haley, who does right by his grizzled role, and Morgan, a Robert Downey Jr. knockoff, who chews the scenery and his stogie with equal aplomb.) And while the climax is unusual in a comic-book movie - bad guy does very bad thing, then escapes his comeuppance by persuading folks that what he's done is really kind of a good thing - it lacks the kick...
