...WERE A KID in suburbia, your parents fought about the furnace, your mother's weekly grocery allowance, the missing pair to dad's tennis socks. They got divorced, saw psychiatrists, remarried other people with whom they could continue to wrestle over footwear and the price of broccoli. Your life had problems...
...half cheers! Two and three quarters? Not enough, in these cheerless times. Let's say three cheers and a quark for Head over Heels, an eccentric little comedy about what zoologists call pair bonding. The trouble with the pair on view is that only half of it, an unsteady young man named Charles (John Heard), is bonded. The other half has gone back to her husband. She is Laura (Mary Beth Hurt), a pretty and appealing but not very confident young woman who regards herself as quite ordinary. To the love-sotted Charles she is Cleopatra, and that...
...glimpse him through his open door, feet up, talking shop with an attentive colleague, while smoking an carly-morning cigar that would make Red Auerbach choke. He's got an incongruous poster of fish species on one wall of his office, and Einstein up on another; a pair of cross country skis stand in a corner.

This is the odd couple that has made brilliant, complementary contributions to what Glashow calls the "glorious tapestry of modern physics," contributions...

Duehay and Wylie were perhaps equally surprised at the nasty reaction of many of their own supporters. The Rent Control Task Force reportedly scheduled a meeting to consider unendorsing the pair, who quickly demanded instead that the CCC remove its blessing. It did, and now representing an overwhelmingly conservative bias, the CCC marches on, dead set on finding middle ground in this battle of confusing initialed organizations...
...pats junior's corduroys around the crotch area twice and bam, the earth moves. With a sensitivity level like that, how the hell does the kid ride the subway at rush hour? The other "big" scene has mom writhing about fully clothed, displaying to full advantage a mere pair of skinny legs. No sexual tension or even desire ever builds up between the two. The two moments of sexual activity occur for no apparent reason; Bertolucci never integrates this incest into the broader context of film. The only truly startling moment in the film occurs when Joey plunges...
