...make any improvised couple feel warmer. Rohmer was no maker of masterpieces; those require a larger canvas. His films were portraits. They were also essays. Rohmer analyzed what he adored.

...Poehler and Anna Faris, smart comediennes all. As for the movie's writers - Jon Vitti, Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger - they've spent a decade or two creating clever words and strange thoughts for characters on The Simpsons and King of the Hill, and Aibel and Berger helped script Kung Fu Panda and Monsters vs Aliens. Writing funny for animals should not be a chore for these guys. What the heck happened? (Read "The Voices of Pixar...
