...need? A couple of attractive actors, a goofy, but not entirely implausible, premise, a modicum of snappy dialogue, the navigation of a handful of embarrassing situations, before the couple finally realizes that, all kidding aside, they were meant for each other.

...During a May 7 food-security summit in Managua involving the ALBA countries and Nicaragua's neighbors in Central America and the Caribbean, various Presidents spoke of the failure of a free-market globalization model promoted by the United States. Even more conservative leaders, such as Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, appeared to side with the leftists leaders, with whom he is normally at odds, in criticizing the values and priorities of the United States.

Its subject matter ranges from independent, art-house films—Whitaker’s personal preference—to Oscar contenders and other blockbusters.“The idea is to produce a scholarly account of film, to offer a platform where students, professors, and professionals can all contribute,” Whitaker says. During her tenure as president, Whitaker articulated that vision and used it to substantially strengthen the content...
