...film isn't desperate; it bends to the mood of each scene. Liman knows where the human comedy in Favreau's engaging script is: at the edges of the film frame, in the taut corners of a sensitive loser's mouth, in an unheard "I love you" (the film's subtle climactic shocker) on the other end of a phone line.

...what inspired the Wonders' leader (Johnathon Schaech) to compose the title song--kind of crucial to know, since it's played 11 times in the film.
