...same quizzical intensity of gaze and naturalness of gesture that carried him to stardom in everything from Neil Simon comedies to the Civil War epic film Glory," says TIME contributor Brad Leithauser. As satire goes, Leithauser adds, director Des McAnuff's amiable version "lacks even some of the mild bite of the original." But "this appealing production urges us all -- whether we are pursuing business success or just a couple of hours' entertainment -- to make light of every obstacle...
...requisition brainy-dishy ex-wife (Rene Russo), an agitated boss (Morgan Freeman), a helpful colleague (Kevin Spacey, who is very good) and plucky Major Salt to steer Sam through an unlikely airplane battle at the climax. But in movies like this, a man must stand alone. It's a mild hoot to watch Certified Great Actor Hoffman play an action hero.

At worst, Murray is seen as a scholar who got carried away with his work and ended up outside the mainstream of conventional scientific thought...
Boosting the leader's pole position have been runs of bad luck for the competition. Europe's mild winter has made mush out of slopes for downhill racing, in which Tomba never competes. As a boy, he was warned against that risky business by his mother--sound advice it may be, for injuries have also dogged his rivals. If there is a cloud on Tomba's horizon, it is Marc Girardelli of Luxembourg, a five-time world champ. Girardelli finished 18th at Adelboden, but his third-place Cup total of 563 points still gives him a theoretical shot...
