...sucks? Tough. Because going forward the reevaluation of personnel will result in significant downsizing - strictly as a cost/benefit analysis correction - resulting in a reduction of opportunities for advancement. Know what I'm talking about? Hutch Owen knows. He knows it's b.s. He's that little guy inside your mind telling you you're wasting your life in a cubicle. He's the one chiding you as you plop down your dough for some stupid new gadget. He's also the star of Tom Hart's scathing new collection, "Hutch Owen: Unmarketable!"

But multi-dimensional characters are nowhere to be found aboard the cramped Life Aquatic, where the equivalent manservant role of Klaus Daimler is played with one-note efficiency by Willem Dafoe. Owen Wilson (as Zissou’s alleged illegitimate offspring) and Anjelica Huston (as Zissou’s dedicated wife) play their roles with such maddeningly detached insincerity that even their supposedly emotive scenes are one thin ironic line away from bad line readings at community theater auditions...
