Your item on the breakup of the marriage of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman [PEOPLE, Feb. 19] was suffused with a cynicism so vile it bordered on the pathological. Your assumption seemed to be that the marriage, because it was between two rich and famous people, was devoid of all meaning.

...what do you know, I laughed. I laughed a lot. In fact, I laughed so much that I felt guilty-because Road Trip is beyond offensive. It's vile, completely disgusting, thoroughly immoral, but ohhh sooo good. Remember, American Pie and Mary set the bar for raunch comedies so each succeeding one has to raise that bar; so Road Trip has a lot of ground to cover in 90 minutes-i.e. potty humor, racist sight gags, lots of nudity, jokes at the expense of the blind...
