...already see the yearning. And then Hall & Oates' "You Make My Dreams," where you go from the pining to planning your future and your wedding. And then the Temper Traps' "Sweet Disposition," showing the growing connection. [Director Marc Webb] already wanted to use Wolfmother's song "Vagabond" near the end, as Tom starts to get out of his funk and get his life back on track...

In preparation for the film, Varda became a vagabond herself, wandering and meeting people who would not only inspire characters in the film, but would also play themselves, speaking lines written by Varda.

The latter are revealed to be not quite as helpless as they seem—an unusual number of them turn out to be Kung Fu masters—and wild fight scenes break out, with more than a little help from computer graphics and wire suspension. Sing, whose delivery is more Bill Murray than Jet Li, is caught in the middle—should he suck...
