How much can you stomach in the way of cheap comments about what you do and how you do it in order to maintain a polite veneer? Longfellow Deeds (Adam Sandler) is at dinner with several New York cognoscenti when his poetry as a part-time greeting card writer is mocked. He is too polite to react as he’s in the company of Babe Bennett (Winona Ryder) but when she says she thinks they deserve what’s coming to them. He turns around and punches one out, slams another’s head into a table and drops a third through a table before paying off for the damages.

Did you ever just want to break into song in public? I sure do. I only wish I could carry a tune.

George Downes (Rupert Everett) is at a wedding rehearsal dinner with his friend Julianne Potter (Julia Roberts) who is attending the nuptials of Michael O’Neal (Dermot Mulroney) and Kimmy Wallace (Cameron Diaz). He starts into “I Say a Little Prayer” and each of the guests joins in until the whole table is singing along. I don’t know about you but I was singing along with them.

All agreements should be fair to both parties. But there aren’t any rules about how you get to that stage. Steven Philips’s (Albert Brooks) career has tanked without him even noticing. He needs help so he decides to solicit the guidance of a muse, Sarah Little (Sharon Stone). In return for her help, Steven has to provide her with food and shelter. Back and forth, they spar. She wants this, he’s willing to provide that. While negotiating, Sarah looks as if he’s kicked a puppy and Steven looks as if somebody squeezed his heart.

Taking a spouse hostage isn’t something that should be undertaken lightly. Rome (Robert Patrick) and his gang of thugs decide the arrival of a cop during a gas tank fill-up whilst escaping from a jewel heist is bad karma and shoot him. They grab Kate Triton (Kelly Carlson), stuff her in the car and blow up the gas pumps expecting to kill her husband John (John Cena). Nope, he’s in hot pursuit and darn cranky.

Jealousy can be so unattractive. Hannah Lewis (Anna Faris) has cut her finger and her colleague Matt Lewis (Luke Wilson) licks it clean to prevent infection. Jenny aka G-Girl (Uma Thurman) shows up and displays a fit of green envy and domination by her lip-lock on Matt. It’s furthered at dinner when Jenny refuses to save the world because Hannah’s date had a thong emergency at his photo shoot. She’s not about to leave him alone with that hussy no matter how many police cars, ambulances and TV emergency reports happen.

Periodically, I see a scene that is so striking it stays with me forever. Such is the case in this movie when an overhead camera pans through a room and we see Cory Luchessi (Tony Nappo) polishing the large table with cloths under his hands and under his knees swimming across the screen.

Part of our rite of passage into adulthood is to get pearls of wisdom from a parent. Often we just let it slip away and it’ll resurface at some delicate moment as we get older. Sometimes the chat is about a topic that stays with us, usually because it is so unexpected. Michael Clayton (George Clooney) has just left his brother who pissed away the equity in their restaurant with booze and drugs. He turns to his son and lets him know that he has the stuff that won’t allow him to screw up his life. He sees it in the lad and he hasn’t the foggiest idea of where it came from.

Why is it that ex-players turned coach say that they prefer being behind the bench to being a part of the game? Mostly because they can’t play and telling others how to do it gives them a chance to be around the game if not a part of it. Such is the case for Sheriff John Biebe (Russell Crowe) and it is what he tells his wife Donna (Mary McCormack) when he has his hopes dashed about returning to the ice to face the New York Rangers.

I’ve met a number of dotty ladies of an indeterminate age who seem to glide through life chattering about almost nothing but meaning everything. They are a delight and make one shiver at how perceptive they are at what is going on around them and can manipulate events to suit their own ends. Mrs. Laura Henderson (Judi Dench) decides to take the Lord Chancellor, Lord Cromer (Christopher Guest), out for a walk catching up on the gossip, and leads him to share a pavilion lunch. All the while, she is maneuvering him into agreeing to allow nudity in her shows. Compromise being the British way, they agree on what can and can’t appear on the stage of the Windmill Theatre.

“Glide, glide, glide. No, no, it’s not the Ice Capades. It is all in the buttocks. Don’t I look pretty. Roll your hips.”

“It takes a very secure man to walk like that,” says FBI agent Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) as she takes her first lesson from Victor Melling (Michael Caine) on how to fit into The Miss United States Pageant as a contestant. But there is a lot to do and time isn’t on their side.

It always seemed kinda stupid but, I suppose, somewhat romantic when a marriage proposal is surrounded by a actions dependent upon the participation of others. Michael Felgate (Hugh Grant) has organized that a personal fortune be put into a Chinese restaurant’s cookie. It goes to another couple, surprising him and causing her to break into tears. When Gina Vitale (Jeanne Tripplehorn) gets the correct one, she declines Michael’s offer while the restaurant owner (Lori Tan Chinn) rattles on to her staff in Chinese.

Don’t you just love urban legends? I’ve heard them, repeated them and know folks who know folks to whom they have happened. It’s a constant source of gossip and confusion. One of the best forms a plot line here. Sydney Barringer (Chris O’Hara), a 17-year-old boy, attempts suicide by jumping off the roof of his apartment building. It becomes a homicide when he was accidentally shot by his mother Faye (Miriam Margolyes) as he fell past his own apartment window. His parents, Fay and Arthur (Clement Blake) argued often and threatened each other with a supposedly unloaded shotgun. But Sydney had loaded it a few days earlier hoping they would follow through with their threats to kill one another. Thus he unwittingly became an accomplice in his own murder, albeit unwittingly. Even creepier is that a newly installed protective netting for window washers on the apartments building’s exterior would have saved his life if he had not been shot.

Everybody needs a teacher. It can be for something as simple as tying your show laces or as complex as organizing a concert. It isn’t as if knowledge comes full blown into our heads. The old homily of giving somebody a fish versus teaching them how to catch their own applies. Modesty Blaise (Alexandra Staden), as a child, is on the run after escaping the camp with her companion, Professor Lob (Fred Pearson), an ex-college educator from Zagreb, questions the need for his books. She foolishly suggests that she knows everything she needs.

How culpable are you when circumstance paints you as some on you are not? It’s often harder to explain why/what/how something happened than it is to go along. Marisa Ventura (Jennifer Lopez) finds herself in these circumstances but she chooses not to explain because she figures she’ll not see Chris Matthew (Ralph Fiennes) again. But then the Cinderella effect kicks in and we all know how that’ll go.

Bad guys always seem to figure that their plans will work out the way they want them to. You’d expect they would realize that not everything is within their control. When escaped murderer Thorton Meeks (Matt Schulze) grabs Detective Tracy Arnold (Demi Moore) off the street and wheels away in the panel truck driven by his girlfriend, he expects he can subdue her and gloats that he is going to hang her like his other victims. It soon becomes apparent to him that Tracy is not going gently as she struggles against his attempt to handcuff her, his attempts to pummel her while she is hanging onto the hair of the van’s driver, while the vehicle careens through the street, clipping other cars, disrupting traffic and maneuvering out of control. Meeks’s final embarrassment pops up when the truck twists into stopped autos and Tracy is launched out the door to land on the windshield of a parked car. He has to scamper away to dispose of the van before the police recapture him. He isn’t a happy killer.

If you’re fortunate, you’ll have someone in your life who accepts you as you are with all of your faults, doesn’t pass judgement on what you do and treats you as you deserve. If you are truly lucky that person isn’t even a family member. For Tanzie (Hilary Duff) and Ava Marchetta (Haylie Duff) that person is their housekeeper Inez (Maria Conchita Alonso) who takes them the sisters after the scandal of their family cosmetics company being accused of selling toxic products. She just wraps them in her arms and ushers them into her apartment as if they’d never been away.

Tom Stansfield (Ashton Kutcher) leaves his brain in the wash when he sees an opportunity to romance Lisa Taylor (Tara Reid), his boss’s daughter. In a foolish moment of weakness that he sees as a date and she sees as a favour, he agrees to house-sit overnight for her family.

Betrayal. It is such a nasty word. It is even more wicked when it happens to you. Jane Smith (Angelina Jolie) finds out that her husband is a killer for hire. John Smith (Brad Pitt) discovers that his wife is an assassin. It is such an awkward moment because they are married to each other. He wants revenge and she wants his ass in a sling. It seems to be no different that many marriages except that they have lots of guns and practice.

Jack Giamoro (Ben Affleck) decides its time to get his life back but first he needs his stolen personal journal back from Barbi Ling (Bai Ling), a tabloid reporter. He lines up a meeting at what he called the worst Chinese restaurant in town. Unfortunately, it belongs to Barbi’s family and the discussion dissolves from there until the family is chasing him and his co-workers through the alleys of Chinatown.

Some guys just don’t listen. They’re so pumped with testosterone that they get stupid. It must be in the food they eat or the liquids they drink or their brains are just wired wrong. Ryder (Dolph Lundgren) asks the bunch looking for a witness to leave the property and they decline. He asks another time and they respond with fists and shotguns. Ryder takes away the sawed-off and, after making some holes in the lads’ trucks, forces them to scurry away like badgers with their pants around their knees.

It is a classic dilemma. Howard W. Campbell (Nick Nolte) is a German sympathizer, a writer and spokesman who promotes the Nazi agenda. He is considered a celebrity with the Reich and a propagandist in America. He also works as a spy for the Americans. But his handlers disappear and he has no proof of what he does or has done. How can he prove his worth when nobody believes he had the best of democratic intentions.

Frank Keane (Robert Carlyle) is grieving over the death of his wife. He is a witness to a traffic accident involving Steve Mills (John Goodman) where he is asked to find a girl at a dance studio. Frank decides to return and is asked by Marienne Hotchkiss (Mary Steenburgen) to help her demonstrate the Lindy Hop. He is having such a good time he lets loose and dances with most of the female students until Marienne jolts him out of his reverie. For she knows what a powerful medium dance is. A judicious embrace can exorcise many demons but can also extract many deep-seated emotions, so she says. But if one is able to manage the challenges of dance, one can also enjoys its rewards.

Events often produce changes in us that are so subtle we fail to notice that they’ve affected us until someone comes along to kick start the synapses. And it takes some random instance to make us remember who we are. Lupita aka “Pita” (Dakota Fanning) gets a new bodyguard Creasy (Denzel Washington), who is a former US intelligence agent now working as a mercenary, and she finds him sad and lonely. He finds her chatty and distracting. She casually brings back his humanity and he shows her another side of living in Mexico. When she’s kidnapped, Creasy realizes the impact she has had on him and vows to clear cut anybody who stands in his path and bring havoc to those who took her and anyone who aids them.

Secrets. They can make you, they can break you, they can deceive you. Regina George (Rachel McAdams) is betrayed by Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) and decides to submarine her by turning in their book of secrets to the school administration. While Cady, Karen (Amanda Seyfried) and Gretchen (Lacey Chabert) are being questioned by the high school principal, Regina is scattering copies of the pages throughout the school. As the contents spread through the students, the chaos seeps through the crowd like a virus.

When faced with a serious medical condition, everybody wonders what caused it. Sometimes the reason is obvious, sometime it isn’t and we grab at straws in order to explain how this could of happened. Rhonda Epinstalk (Rachel Griffiths) is one of these people. She has been diagnosed with a cancerous spinal tumour which is pressing on the nerves and resulting in her legs being paralysed. She thinks she knows why. She believes having too much sex is the reason. Sounds reasonable, don’t you think?

Unfortunately for Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal), he has that one big eye and not much else. He has it working for him as a monstrous assistant to “Sully” Sullivan (John Goodman) but when it comes to usual every day things, he has to be careful. For instance, when Boo (Mary Gibbs) sneezes, Mike, a tad germophobic, decides an anti-bacterial spray will help prevent him from catching whatever she has in the way of a cold. Sadly, he sprays himself but because he is mostly eye, finds that he has blinded himself. But this pales in comparison to what he and Sully will face when they discover that they have been sent into exile for letting Boo follow them back to where the monsters live. For if they thought that they were scary, just wait until they find out what is lurking and smacking its lips in the real world.
