...course in New Age wooziness, mentored by L N (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a professor with tons of family money, and her sponging beau Rod (Josh Hamilton). At least the satire directed at this couple - a two-spouted fountain of cockeyed parenting theories - occasionally hits the mark. When Rod explains the mating of sea horses, L N purrs, "If I could, I would lay my eggs in your brood-pouch." Rod thinks he was an abused child because his mother gave birth to him in a hospital, adding incredulously, "And she wonders why I can't walk into a dry cleaner...

And there's a certain irony about the beauty of the landscape and the horror that took place here...
...public soap opera came as Europeans voted in parliamentary elections. Some pundits predict that all the hot gossip will hurt Berlusconi, especially among Catholic voters, while others say voters might see him as a victim of rumor-mongering. But there is another, perhaps more far-reaching possibility that could mark the definitive victory of Berlusconi, who has made billions bringing private, sometimes low-brow television to Italy. Italians are growing increasingly immune to it all, resigned to the mingling of serious state affairs with an appetite for gossip. But still they - like us - can't stop watching...
