Boldly appropriating both the format of Citizen Kane (inquiring reporter seeks the secrets of a pop star) and the legends of David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Brian Eno and Roxy Music, Haynes fashions a fresco of seductive grotesques--notably the Iggy-esque Curt Wild, whom Ewan McGregor inhabits as a writhing punk- sprite. The Bowie-ish star, Brian Slade (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), is consumed by success, whereas the real Bowie always looked in control of his eminence. But, hey, you go to a musical for the numbers, which are brilliantly conceived and played. Does the milieu seem starched, grandiose, fake...
...away with primogeniture (in which the eldest son receives the title in favor of an older daughter)--not that the move affects her son or grandson. In April she hosted a star-studded, 650-guest party at Windsor Castle attended by Joan Collins and Trainspotting star Ewan McGregor--the sort of celebrity fest that has become a staple of 10 Downing Street in the Blair era.

...disappointingly mediocre follow-up by the makers of last year's brilliant Trainspotting. The ill-paced narrative tells the story of Robert (Ewan McGregor), a recently fired janitor who unwittingly kidnaps the beautiful daughter (Cameron Diaz) of his rich ex-boss. Screenwriter John Hodge attempts to freshen things up by tossing in gun-toting angels, a psychotic dentist, and some forced romantic comedy, but only manages the further muddle the plot...
