...making out with both the hot mom across the street (Meg Ryan) and her teenage daughter (Kristen Stewart). And somehow he does something that creepy while still seeming like a really nice guy. The same innocent charm made him an US magazine fixture as The O.C's breakout star: the sarcastic but decent one. "Adam is the funniest guy you still want to see get the girl," says O.C. creator Josh Schwartz, 30, who patterned Brody's character after himself.

...overreliance on the clever, self-knowing jokes the show was loved for but that came to serve as cover for absurd story lines or clichéd characters. Although he's glad it ended, he still considers The O.C. his college, and had lunch the day before with co-star Benjamin McKenzie (who played the aforementioned blond lead).

That may be what drives Barbara (Judi Dench), a drab, old teacher at a London school, to latch and leech onto a new instructor, the stunning, vulnerable, morally floundering Sheba (Cate Blanchett). Sad meets bad--or is it mad?--in this knowing, brutal comedy. Dench has maybe her best-ever movie role: a queen bee who deals in the honey of treachery...
