...there are lapses. The film's wonderfully orchestrated car chases do linger on, and red-neck ribaldry can pale after a while, and maybe Glen shouldn't have to run smack into a cactus. But who can blame the Coens for blowing up their tale into conventionally funny shapes? Besides, as the brothers demonstrate at the climax, round is funny too. And more than a little poignant. The plot circles back to the quints' nursery, and then to the McDonnoughs' bedroom, where Hi has the strangest dream he dare consider. It is a vision into the future perfect, of middle...

Or they click the radio right--snap--at the end of a good song, letting the rhythm and sync linger in their minds for the rest of the day. They're trying to create personal soundtracks to shape and pace their lives. But they need help...
