...Marc Anthony (yes the salsa master) gives a jarring, sometimes awkward, but overall effective performance as Noel, an unstable street urchin who violently shakes out his lines with the aid of a dreadlocks wig last seen on Sideshow Bob of "Simpsons" fame. In fact, the whole slew of characters in this film seem to have been gleaned from the daytime talk shows, where the pathetic and pained get their airtime in America. There's even a scene showcasing that staple of the "Jenny Jones Show"--middle class white kids donned as gloriously wimpy goths. They get a makeover as well...
...others, as their earlier remixes of the Manic Street Preachers and Spritualized prove. Surrender sees the Chemicals working with even more guest vocalists--this time to bring out the best in the Chemicals' sound.

As Lawrence, '60s supermodel Twiggy is bright and bubbly (if overly nasal). As Coward, Harry Groener simply captivates. He wisely avoids mimicry, but his panache is pure Coward, and his renditions of Mad Dogs and Englishmen and other Coward specialties are dazzling...
Instead of applying and then postponing entry into the law school of her choice, Noel Rodriguez '99 opted to wait. The choice, she says, only became clear early this year as she was researching her history thesis on the role of women in the United Farm Workers' Union...
