Arriving in Cambridge in the late 1950s from Phillips Exeter Academy, the elite New England boarding school that was, all-male at the time, the young mathematics student was drawn far more to Boston’s many social attractions than to academic pursuits. “I figured that there were some 25 women’s schools within radius of Cambridge,” he says, “and I was thrilled to be here.” Some of the thrill wore off when Nesson...
...that that's some sort of disease, serious but, in this movie, curable. Like the 40-year-old virgin searching desperately for a woman to relieve his burden, Peter must find a friend - audition strangers, go out on man-dates. His younger brother, whom Andy Samberg renders as a lout with a lot of pals, suggests a few leads, all disastrous.

Several years had passed, and even though Wooten had a domestic violence restraining order against him, he had never physically threatened the governor, her husband Todd or their children...
...youth. Their surly demeanor and vicious behavior represent a consummate failure of the Tony Blair-Gordon Brown era. The people who once famously claimed to be "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" chose instead to be even tougher on the victims of crime. Some young hooded lout threatens you or your family's safety, so you clip his ear, and an army of social workers springs to his defense, while the full might and majesty of the law are brought down upon you, with all the consequent personal and financial penalties.
