...Sharps” is based on Vanity Fair—isn’t the riot he expected; and co-worker Alison, played by Dunst, is really mean. Dunst and Pegg are like most wacky onscreen pairs who get off on the wrong foot; it becomes obvious within several barb-filled minutes that their relationship will end happily.

Ultimately, “Slacker Uprising” represents the culmination of a failed project. The film is a re-editing of “Captain Mike Across America...
...said I, I’ve got to go”) demonstrates Morello’s complete inability to portray any depth of emotion in his music. The lyrics disappoint throughout the album and on many songs the listener is reduced to cringing in anticipation of another appallingly obvious rhyme...
