...what do we do about this? During the last recession, in 2001, President Bush famously urged the American people to get out and shop--and visit Disney World--to thwart the downturn. We did, and the recession was mild. It was followed, though, by an explosion of debt and imprudence. The savings rate (the percentage of personal income left after spending) fell below 1% for the first time since the early 1930s and stayed there from 2005 through 2007. Millions of Americans spent trillions of dollars on things--houses, mainly--they couldn't afford...
...That's what the movie's heroine, Coraline Jones (voiced by Dakota Fanning) must do. Newly arrived in Oregon from Michigan with her mother (Teri Hatcher) and father (John Hodgman), she feels ignored by her stay-at-home, workaholic writer parents.

Robert Cantu, a neurosurgeon and concussion expert, insists that even after a mild first-time concussion, athletes must be free of all symptoms for at least a week, both at rest and during exertion, before returning to the field. Cantu's mantra: "When in doubt, sit them...
...Emma may be a Paula, but in the end, the movie owes its mild success to Anne Hathaway, who makes it watchable. After seeing Bride Wars' marketing campaign, I wondered whether Hathaway would hurt her hopes of an Oscar nomination for Rachel Getting Married by appearing in such lightweight fare right around ballot time. (Rachel may get married, but that film indulges no fantasies.) Instead, Bride Wars is a reminder that Hathaway can be soulful and charming no matter how mundane her surroundings. She manages her appealing vulnerability with expertise, but she's also learned how to blend in just...
