...roar of the sea at Black-pool, England. In a contraband exchange gone awry, we meet the disturbed Jack Parker, played by the sparkling young Brit, Lee Evans.

Unlike a Lynch flick, "Funny Bones" will let you in on the joke, if you wait for the punchline...

Leonard Schwartz, 52, a lawyer in Austin, Texas, earns a six-figure income and has built up a sizable nest egg for the retirement he hopes to start early. Even so, he's worried. "I'm going to be relying in part on those [Social Security] benefits. If they start cutting in 10 or 15 years, after I've retired, there's going to be no way for me to adjust...
