...hours is little more than an exercise in human depravity. The film centers on the various members of the Michaelson family. Eli (Alan Rickman) is the cantankerous patriarch, and a Nobel-prize winning chemist; his wife Sarah (Mary Steenburgen) is a long-suffering forensic psychiatrist who has accepted her husband??s wandering eye. Their struggling son, Barkley (Bryan Greenberg), is an immature graduate student still recovering from a recent divorce. When Barkley is kidnapped by Eli’s illegitimate son, Thaddeus James (Shawn Hatosy), his parents begin the difficult process of locating him and paying his ransom.Yet...

...details thrown into stories that go without special notice by the author—who just glides over them—or by any of the characters, who all fail to notice the strange occurrences. The wife of “Bad Heart” brushes off her husband??s complaints of cardiovascular problems as a childish bid for attention. The main characters find themselves suppressed even in the domestic realm, as their wives make them feel ashamed, used, and inadequate. Developing complexes that make them shudder at the thought of having sex with their wives, they retreat...

However, once on the show, the aspirant leaders of men are submitted to a trying test—of their sense of humor. Mrs. Obama’s ability to keep up with Stewart’s (admittedly friendly) shtick with soft comic jabs of her own at her husband??s expense humanized both her and her husband. When former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich took on a challenge, joking his way through an early endorsement of Governor Sarah Palin in September, the effect was much the same...
