...week's end, however, there were signs that no matter how much the folks involved want to get along, family squabbles could shatter their best intentions. Evidence emerged last week that the home in which Johnson has been raising Callie hasn't been the most tranquil. Carlton Conley, Johnson's sometime boyfriend and possibly Rebecca's biological father, was convicted of assault and battery in April. Johnson said Conley had shoved her, rammed her car with his truck and in January threatened to shoot her. (Small wonder, then, that last year Johnson obtained a state permit to carry a concealed...
Kids, life is too short to live it only for the future. The future is important, yes, but if you do nothing about today, there may not be a point to tomorrow. So go ahead, shatter some lonely guy or girl's misconceptions about the Harvard dating scene. You never know whom you'll meet. Or scald...

They are all overgrown boys, designed to appeal to the undergrown boys who are this movie's prime audience. The roughnecks immediately start squabbling with the fly-right NASA nerds--representing responsible, clueless adulthood--who must hurriedly train them for space flight, deliver them to their target on time and admit in the end that obstreperous irresponsibility has its uses. Stupid as this...
