One particular scene of unappealing sexual tension finds the copyist “lovingly” sponge-bathing the naked, overweight, ailing, and ancient Beethoven. Spare us. The acting job of Diane Kruger is also a letdown. The creation of her character was inherently risky, but she does a poor job selling it.

O.K., it's partly his pursuit of nuclear weapons, but hey, if you're a despot with a spare centrifuge and a free mountain, knock yourself out. The other part is, well, I just don't like his face.

Be the Spare Change Guy. 11) Write punny headlines in Sharpie all over your body and tell everyone how smart you are; you are The Crimson (recycling and paper maché also recommended). 12) Buy a Speedo, shave your chest, and call me around 9 p.m...I mean, call yourself a swimmer...
