...only reluctantly concedes the validity of his need for emotional renewal, and he never entirely forgives himself the pain he causes. He is, in fact, as surprised as anyone when, while celebrating his 50th birthday with his fellow mill hands, he falls passionately in love with a barmaid (Ann-Margret). Stunned, Kate is tempted toward but fights off a state of permanent victimization. Helping her to remobilize are a married daughter (Amy Madigan), who ferociously expresses the anger her mother represses, and a younger sibling (Ally Sheedy), whose wedding, in suddenly straitened circumstances, requires some ingenuity from all three women...
...life to realism as effectively as he brings realism to fantasy in Target. Burstyn clarifies her character without oversimplifying. She finds both repose and luminosity in Kate. Madigan is not afraid to let the audience dislike her abrasiveness, while Sheedy uses patience and stillness as a counterpoise. Only Ann-Margret is somewhat shortchanged by the script: her motives are never made fully clear. Sometimes, too, the movie feels overly tidy and pleased with its own humanism. But it unashamedly keeps scratching away at small behavioral truths, and draws some blood in the process...
...students were only mildly surprised by the results. They say the gender gap is a story not of talent but motivation. Boys think of school as purgatory on the way to a future of finding riches at sea; for girls, it's their ticket out of town.

"I think I will be a pharmacist," says Heidarsdottir. The teens sat in principal Gudjon Kristjansson...
...bravely time-travels all the way back to the innocence of Annette and Frankie beach pictures and Elvis movies in which Ann-Margret doesn't appear. The movie takes Grease, whose script it basically copied, and then actually tones it down. "To get the PG rating, we couldn't say 'sex' or 'If you've got it, flaunt it.' Back in the day, you could get away with stuff you can't get away with now," says Idol runner-up Justin Guarini, 24, in a New York City hotel suite. "In Grease they were smoking," says Idol No. 1 Kelly...
...became a sex kitten on stage, singing songs with titles like "Sangre," "Sudor" and "Saliva" ("Blood," "Sweat" and "Saliva"). Her costumes were outrageous and provocative, and her production numbers brought to mind (for those of us who keep track of excesses from all eras) the best moments of Ann-Margret and Nancy Sinatra - although even Ann and Nancy never came on variety shows decked out as an Aztec goddess, a female boxer or a geisha girl...
