There have been some actions I’ve taken that I have come to regret. The consequences of what resulted have come to cause me embarrassment, sadness, joy… But none of them have caused any physical harm to innocent people I didn’t know. Anna (Naomi Watts) comes by a Russian restaurant in London looking for the relatives of a mother who died in childbirth. She asks Semyon (Armin Mueller-Stahl) if he know her or her family. She mentions a diary and the world as she knows it changes. The Russians have brought their society to London and Anna, brought up in a London suburb as a second generation Russian emigrée, doesn’t realize the rules and customs they live by will apply to her.

How do you know that your boss is trying to steal your wife away from you? Sometimes it is in the subtle events you notice. Sometimes it isn’t so subtle. While wheelchair-bound Chip Saunders (Jason Bateman) is admiring a picture of Sofia Kowalski (Amanda Peet) and Tom Reilly (Zach Braff) on Tom’s desk, he licks his thumb and runs it over her face. Tom knows he’s in trouble and it going to take some clandestine moves to show her and her family what Chip is up to. Sadly, Tom is having some difficulty understanding the concept of clandestine.

During my forays into warehouse stores, I’ve always wondered how quickly they go through those goods stacked on racks above my head. Well, now I know thanks to Zack Bradley (Dane Cook) and his buddies Lon (Andy Dick) and Russell (Harland Williams). The store’s recalcitrant employees have built play fort hidey holes which allow them to slack off and ignore customers like me who are looking for where they have now moved those packages holding 99 batteries.

Sometimes a choice will turn your life on its head. We may have a brief moment to decide whether to it is worth going in that direction but, more often than not, we have little idea of its consequence. Such is the decision facing Josh Pollack (Justin Timberlake), a vague newsman who wants to report on more than just the highlights of the city’s events, when he finds evidence of police corruption. He has to choose whether it is something he wants to pursue but it isn’t obvious what it will mean for him and those around him. An almost lethal beating of his girlfriend Willow Summerfield (Piper Perabo) and him by what he soon realizes are some of the corrupt cops gives him pause. Had the attack not happened, he likely would have let the story go but now he’s leaning towards investigating further regardless of the effect it’ll have.

Buddy (Will Ferrell) has the right attitude towards Christmas. He feels that the best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing carols aloud for all to hear. I’d have to agree. Most times when I break into a carol, those around look at me with wide eyes of joy and hold their hands in front of their mouths to test whether they know the words. Few join in because it seems to me that they don’t want to interrupt the sheer joy my vocals bring to those within earshot. But they do stand around and marvel at my willingness to share the joy of serenading others. Jovie (Zooey Deschanel) is skeptical about Buddy’s enthusiasm. If she heard me singing, she’d know.
