...supposed to sing and play on guitar. "This was Wednesday, and we're going to film on Friday," says Segel. "I said, 'But Judd, I don't know how to play guitar.' He said, 'You have until Friday. You'll figure it out.' " And Segel did. "It's sort of like having a great sensei from one of those old karate movies," he says. "He's like Mr. Miyagi. You don't know why you're doing 'wax on, wax off,' and he says, Show me 'wax on, wax off' - then you've sold a script...

Drug dens have given way to beach huts serving up candy-colored cocktails and blasting American pop. For about...
