Duehay truly served the people in Cambridge, shepherding them through such monumental changes as desegregation and the rise and fall of rent control. Even as rent control became less popular, Duehay fought to provide affordable housing to the low income Cantabrigians...

...that lovely L.A. fable Swingers, have many amusing tricks to play on you. Ronna (Polley) is substituting for Simon (Desmond Askew), now off to Vegas, who retails drugs on the side. Soap opera stars Adam (Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr) want to buy some from Ronna, who needs rent money.

The movie is rather too frolicsome about drug use, but it carries an internal message: if you're on dope, you won't be able to follow...

...Homes, well, once again CP's conflicted. Go looks like a definite go. Never Been Kissed? Iffy, but CP developed a tiny crush on the new dewy Drew since The Wedding Singer, and David Arquette is a rock-solid talent (though he's still working up the courage to rent Home Fries). The only sure skip is yet another moldy Jackie Chan re-release, Double Dragons, about -- get this -- TWO Jackie Chans! Hilarious.
