...Ghosts made a bit less in its opener than McConaughey's movies usually do, perhaps because the word was out early that it sucked swamp water, but also because another date movie had, in industry parlance, long legs. Namely, Beyoncé's. Her loving-wife-confronts-crazy-stalker-lady thriller Obsessed, last week's No. 1, finished a strong third with $12.2 million. The movie has now earned in 10 days what another musical star's solo effort, the Zac Efron 17 Again, grossed in 17; it took fourth place...
...after that. The focus shifts to Sheena's surly, pill-popping, wheelchair-bound mother, who is outraged (not very credibly) at her daughter's job on feminist grounds and vows to stop the production.

In a way, the fans are as knowledgeable about their role as the Brothers are about theirs. One shows up with Jonas-style sideburns charcoaled on her face. Three guys presenting themselves as faux-Jonases get a modicum of attention from the girls. That...
...hovers galoot-like around her, less a sensible parent than the nerd next to her in chemistry class. He wants her to be Daddy's little girl, always and exclusively, and his devotion to Kim has made him her imaginary swain and something like her real-life stalker.
