...their fans, some of whom "waited 72 hours in the rain" for tickets to the Madison Square Garden concert that is the movie's centerpiece.

(The 3D effects, which include the flinging of sunglasses, guitar picks and other sacred relics into the crowd, are meant to bring the Brothers this close to their young viewers.)

Since that time, Panama - a slim slice of a nation wedged between the Pacific and the Caribbean - has quietly emerged as Central America's must-discover hidden gem. And no wonder. With its mix of the eco (dense tropical rain forests), urban (a Miami-like skyline) and aquatic (crystalline diving sites), Panama is an all-in-one destination where the dollar is legal tender - and still manages to go a long...
