...four main characters sparkles, and the interplay between them makes About Adam entertaining throughout. Hudson plays Lucy Owens, a nightclub singer with a knack for being unlucky in love. Her luck changes when she meets Adam (newcomer Stuart Townsend), whose sexy, mysterious performance invokes comparisons to Jude Law. Adam gives Lucy everything she has always wanted in a man-passion, spontanety and love. He even charms the rest of the Owens clan, including Lucy's mother, two sisters and younger brother. The plot thickens when Adam begins to give "everything" to both of Lucy's sisters as well. He provides...

Casting the film, Scott tested Jude Law for Commodus but went with Phoenix, an odd, inspired choice: beneath the villain's sliminess is an unloved child with vivid plans for vengeance. Scott's choice of Nielsen also was resisted, but the Danish beauty brings a regal presence to the film. The boozy, exuberant Reed gave a superbly knowing performance--alas, his last. He died toward the end of shooting; one scene was accomplished with a body double and some digital legerdemain (which also added tiers to the Colosseum). Crowe, deep into his Jeffrey Wigand character in The Insider, was persuaded...
