We are all plagued by guilt. Guilt over what we’ve done, what we could have done, what we haven’t done. How we handle it is often a measure of how we are able to cope every day. My guilt tends to be associational, that is, something triggers a memory and no matter how hard I try to assuage it, the circumstances I remember cause me to pause and wonder what can be done to eliminate it. But I’m relieved that mine is limited to stuff where I had an element of control over the situation. I wouldn’t want to be Buddy Amaral (Ben Affleck), an ad executive anticipating a one-sight stand with fellow passenger Mimi Praeger (Natasha Henstridge). He gives his airplane ticket to Greg Janello (Tony Goldwyn) who is anxious to get home to his wife Abby (Gwyneth Paltrow) and family. After the plane crashes, Buddy checks into rehab for his drinking. He goes in search of Abby and finds her now working as a struggling real estate agent. Buddy tries to buy some relief by having her as agent for his advertising agency’s new offices but he cannot bring himself to tell her the truth. Serindipitously, Mimi has a chance meeting with Abby, who discovers Buddy’s secret.

Families come in all shapes and sizes. They are formed by marriage, convenience and disaster. Often, the come together as a group of unrelated individual in whom you can place your trust and expect that they’ll be there when you need them. Aladar (voice of D.B. Sweeney), a young Iguanodon, is raised from an egg by a band of lemurs after his egg is deposited on their island by a Pteranodon. Not knowing any better, he regards them as his family. When a giant meteor appears in the sky and falls into the ocean, Aladar is the one who comes to their rescue by carrying on his back until they wash up on shore.

Senator Robert Kelly (Bruce Davison) has an agenda all of his own. He wants this mutant thing to be brought under control whereby all of them and their talents are known. On his way to Washington in Helicopter One for a vote, he extols the virtues of a war upon them and the need to exterminate them somewhat like his governmental predecessors did in another country a couple of generations ago. Unfortunately for him, his aide has been replaced some time ago by the shape-shifting Mystique (Rebecca Romjin-Stamos). A struggle ensues and the poor man has little recourse but to be paddy-whacked into unconsciousness by her feet. Such an ignominious defeat and beaten up by a girl too.

It is always a trial when you want to move up in the pecking order. Gloria Minetti Nesstra (Mary McCormack), in full New Jersey housewife mode—make-up, pushed back Gucci sunglasses, capris—stares down her husband Fluvio (Oliver Platt) who is about to chop off a neighbour’s hand. She’s thinking he stole the sports section even though his wife found it behind the fridge in their 3/4 size house. What’s a guy who has delusions of grandeur to do now?

I’ve always wanted to be a backup singer. Preferably for one of those groups that wears flashy suits and dances in sync. It doesn’t matter that I can’t carry a tune, I sound darn good in the shower. But to do it in public, I dunno. However when Imogen (Julia Stiles) lipsync’s to Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together and dances down her college dorm hallway surrounded by all of her neighbours, I have second thoughts and want to dust off the pipes.
