...Girlfriends Past boasted clever structures and no acuity at all in the character and gag departments. Even Galifianakis's pervy charm, and a deeply weird cameo by Mike Tyson, can't save The Hangover. Whatever the other critics say, this is a bromance so primitive it's practically Bro-Magnon...

But to the 700 people who paid $400 apiece over Thanksgiving to attend her weekend seminar at the Doubletree Plaza Hotel outside Seattle, Knight is the conduit for the distant voice of Ramtha, a 35,000-year-old "warrior." (That would make Ramtha a contemporary of Cro-Magnon man, giving new meaning to General MacArthur's statement that old soldiers never die.)
