...this was to be the last summer of my life, I wanted to have the least amount of responsibility possible,” Art says in a voiceover suitably devoid of emotion. Not very convincing.Adventure arrives in the form of Jane (Sienna Miller) and Cleveland (Peter Sarsgaard), a couple so alluring that Art cannot help but follow them as a third wheel. Jane plays the violin brilliantly but loves punk; she’s the kind of girl who softly asks, “Do you like pie?” in an accent caught somewhere between Tennessee...

Indeed, the whole cast deserves high grades (though Peter Sarsgaard, an American ringer among the Brits, brings down the curve a bit). What bothered me was the fussy and ponderous direction by Ian Rickson. From the famous first line, "Why do you always wear black?" - which is broken in two when the character to whom it is spoken, Masha, silences...

Meryl Streep’s flat role, in particular, is utterly thankless, as nothing makes her merciless CIA executive the least bit interesting or human.

They share an affinity for playing dark, offbeat characters in films and having an excess of vowels in their names. Now indie It couple MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL and PETER SARSGAARD will share parenting duties. Gyllenhaal, 28, whose most notorious role was as a secretary who liked spanking, and Sarsgaard, 35, who co-starred with Gyllenhaal's brother Jake in 2005's Jarhead, are engaged and are expecting a baby. The two have conducted a quiet courtship since they met four years ago. No public spats. No embarrassing photos in the tabloids. Still, we're sure the marriage will work out fine...
