...With salmon and wood smoke fragrant in the endless summer evening, amid wet socks and waders and red rubber fishing gloves, Palin tells TIME, "I cannot predict what's going to happen. I don't know what doors will be open or closed by then. I was telling Todd today, I was saying, 'Man, I wish we could predict the next fish run so that we know when to be out on the water.'

Having created Margaret as a termagant, screenwriter Pete Chiarelli and director Anne Fletcher put her through a film-length rehab of tough love. You just know that her early nastiness will require a public confession and that if she mentions she can't swim, she will get embarrassingly wet. But through all the creaky scaffolding, one can catch glimpses of the fine comedy this could have been - if only the characters weren't cardboard, the plot not a course in corrective behavior. Reynolds has a gentle, manly appeal, and Bullock, when Margaret cracks into humanity, lets her charm radiate like...

...mostly pedestrian, except for the occasional van and the double-decker tram that winds down Chun Yeung Street, stopping at 7-11 at one end and the footbridge at the other.
