...Ghost of Christmas Past is down there with the worst. Its deficiencies are too severe to bother tearing apart: Connor's short, charisma-deficient brother (Breckin Meyer) who comes from a totally other gene pool, if not gene planet, than his studly sib; cinematography that makes everyone except McConaughey look ugly (the same artless deglamorizing recently evident in 17 Again and State of Play); hapless guest appearances by Michael Douglas and Anne Archer, who must have wished they were back in Fatal Attraction; a background score comprising random samples of a Lite-FM playlist; and enough gaffes of plot...

"But you don't see these buses in Miami." And getting rid of the demon buses has become an infernal task for the government. The current administration's plan to indemnify bus owners $25,000 each to remove their buses from the road and replace them with modern new buses got tangled up in conflicts of interests that made...
