...ought to. It's the summer's best "summer movie." This is a film with something -- indeed, too funny much -- for everybody. A sci-fi thriller in which one brave man is miniaturized to the size of a mote and takes a fantastic voyage into another man's buttock. A buddy picture in which both buddies occupy the same body. A classic romance of two men in love with the same girl, and somehow all three kiss at once.

...tragedy was the worst of a rash of shark attacks along the upper west coast of the U.S. since Labor Day. Paul Parsons, 33, another abalone diver, suffered puncture wounds and lost much of his left buttock when a shark mauled him in the waters north of San Francisco.

Even the plumpness of the bronze cast provides the suggestion of skin, while the slightly fuzzy texture of the metal further equivocates, not with the look, but with the feel of flesh. In some ways, the shapes of Marie-Thérèse, smooth and closed, are like the totemic bone forms of Picasso's grotesque anatomies of the '30s, the projects for immense figure-based...
...character with one buttock and Yiddish mannerisms would be hard-pressed not to get laughs, but Ellingson deserves all she gets for her animated performance...
