Or a boyish prank: he and Roebuck keep stealing a snowblower back and forth. Or some comically self-destructive behavior -- he finally punches out that cop and lands briefly in jail -- that doesn't do him as much harm as it would if this were real life instead of a movie determined to be cheerful at any cost...

...Seattle-sound" machine Pearl Jam has done it all: screamed about adolescent rage, crooned about adult pangs and complained about the unfair ways of the world. Does the band still have something to say?TIME music critic Christopher John Farleyreports that while the group's new album "has its share of stinkers" it proves the band is still an important force in rock.
