...teenage girl devoted to her gay male campmates, with grace and humor, and falls for the seemingly sole straight camper, Vlad (Daniel Letterle), the less-than-captivating Romeo of her romance. The theme is somewhat tired—we all know what it’s like to not fit in at high school—but the music and choreography are great. Besides, what could beat a cameo performance by Stephen Sondheim, replete with stretch limo? Only the uproarious reaction of these Broadway babies to his arrival at summer camp...
Glasses are unavoidable for many of us. Will has great frames that fit the shape of his head nicely. Still, a little variety—a la contacts—would make for a more dynamic look. Wearing glasses every day can lead to oily buildup beneath the nose guards and ultimately acne. Also, glasses need to be contextualized. They’re fine at the library or a quiet dinner; they’re out of place at the club...
...Redd has lost around 60 pounds since last fall. (She first began a weight-loss push in her senior year, walking into Leizer’s spinning class in Martinsville in anticipation of appearing in Glamour.)

She scorns these criticisms, even listing the weight loss as her “greatest achievement” in the pageant magazine...

Cash sang of specific injustices and eternal truths; he was the deadpan poet of cotton fields, truck stops and prisons. He was a balladeer, really...
...Western take on Asia was a comic one: Sofia Coppola's widely praised Lost in Translation, with Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson as two Americans who strike sweet sparks while stranded in Tokyo. These two characters are acutely and lovingly observed in contrast to the Japanese bit players, who fit all the dumb stereotypes: they're short of stature and long of wind, they constantly take photos, and damn 'em, not enough of these people speak English! The U.S. dominates so much of the world, politically and pop culturally, that it seems astonished to discover that a few spots have...
