...implicit messages are buoyed by brisk, funny maxims: “Society tells us to act civilized, but the truth is, we’re animals, and sometimes you’ve gotta let it out,” Sydney informs Peter after going berserk on a Venice Beach visitor. The lighthearted mood is sustained by sunny California city views and a playful soundtrack including Vampire Weekend and The Flaming Lips. Though “I Love You, Man” tests the foundations on which male companionship stands, it does so without losing itself in unnecessarily heavy social commentary...

Following a heady spin on the new 36-capsule Wheel of Perth observation ride, a visitor to Western Australia's capital city needs a really good bed to stop those wheels turning. Megastars Sting, Bob Dylan, Christina Aguilera and Pink found theirs at the Richardson Hotel & Spa, as have scores of affluent travelers and executive types. Sure, far-flung Perth isn't exactly overrun with choice when it comes to luxury boutique hotels, but the Richardson's latest award - the Australian newspaper named it "Best Luxury Hotel in Australia (under 100 rooms)" - indicates that it could hold its own against...
