...Girl. But it's also because he's young, seen as dovish on Israel and black, which is not the old Jews' favorite minority. If he were an old Asian guy who knew Krav Maga, he'd take Pompano in a landslide. I think I've just pitched the plot to The Karate...
...slap-happy same. Forget its similarities to earlier summer fare. This is one of two action films this month with mammoth, John Woo-movie-like explosions in parody form; next week's Tropic Thunder is the other. It is also the second movie this week in which a major plot point is an older man's promise to meet with his student girlfriend's parents. (Cf. Elegy, a romantic drama that has nothing else in common with Pineapple Express.) Finally, it's the third picture this summer, and the eighth in the past 14 months, that was produced, written...
...Working from Apatow's notion to graft an action-movie plot on a dope-movie premise, Rogen and Goldberg came up with a concoction that synthesizes the standard thrills of the first genre while exceeding the usual humor quotient of the second.

Police say that since February they have arrested more...
...relate the movie's main plot, concocted by writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, without mentioning the Anglos: Rick, his wife Evelyn (Maria Bello, sporting an English accent of varying plumminess) and their grown son Alex (Luke Ford). After their last escapade, Rick and Evelyn have sworn off derring-do; she writes books about the good old days while he goes fly-fishing and gets a hook stuck in his neck. Their love life is a comedy of missed opportunities, of derring-don'ts. When the British government asks them to deliver a valuable document to Shanghai, they jump...
