...backup band is priceless. Penelope, too, finds Max endearing and reveals herself to him, but runs away to the big city once she realizes he’s a spy. Her first stop in freedom is a pub where she meets Annie, a feisty, leather-clad, Vespa riding Reese Witherspoon (who also produced the movie). Penelope manages to elude her parents’ attempts to find her by hiding her nose under a scarf. Of course, her nose gets revealed, as does the fact that she’s an heiress. She becomes a pig-nosed press darling. And obviously...
...been judged that, when she goes into a local pub, she wears a kerchief across the middle of her face, forcing her to drink a glass of beer with a straw. Caveny also has a slew of sow jokes to subject us to. "Bad nose job," notes Reese Witherspoon, who shows up at the bar (and was one of the film's producers). And when Penelope gorges on Ho-Hos, her mother asks, "Oh, now you're just going to make a pig of yourself?" Penelope: "No, that's already been done for me." Et cetera...

"An hour and a half later, they are sitting at dinner, and some are agreeing while others are disagreeing." France today can make slick, highly commercial movies - Amélie, Brotherhood of the Wolf - but for many foreigners the taint of talkiness lingers...
...soldiers at risk in Iraq is, compared with past conflicts, relatively small--a niche market, if you will, like the audience that has paid to see Paul Haggis' In the Valley of Elah (with Tommy Lee Jones, Susan Sarandon and Charlize Theron) or Gavin Hood's Rendition (with Reese Witherspoon and Meryl Streep). The first movie, about a man's search for his soldier son killed after returning from Iraq, was gripping, suspenseful, poignant. Rendition, detailing the torture of an Egyptian American under U.S. auspices, sank under the burden of its plot contrivances. But quality, or lack...
