Chris and Paul Weitz
(American Pie) directed this
adaptation o f a novel by N ick Hornby
(High Fidelity) about a spoiled man (Hugh
G rant) who tries to pick up chicks by pos

of Three’s Company, but things get serious
when he meets a troubled kid (N icholas

tinues his winning streak with this old-
school spy thriller starring yummy Matt
Damon as an amnesiac
on the run from the
CIA . He and Franka
Potente (Run Lola Run)
show strong chemistry,
but Julia Stiles is wasted
in a thankless support

Steven Spielberg further explores his
darker side in this innovative sci-fi thriller
based on a short story by Philip K. Dick.
Unfortunately, he can’t help but insert sever
al sequences that are either overly
precious or downright silly. The Big Brother
storyline has great potential that seems just
beyond his grasp.

you want the answer to that
question, watch the national
