I suppose if I were ten, I’d think that this is one of the bestest movies ever made. Never mind that Ecuador could sub for southern California, that none of the characters seem to be able to find their asses with radar, that their actions seem to be the antithesis of their stated goals, that their moms would soap out their potty mouths and that they seem to score as much dope as they can consume. It is still the bestest.

Tristan (Charlie Cox) and Victoria (Sienna Miller) are star-crossed lovers. Well, at least Tristan is. He has promised Victoria that he will retrieve a fallen star to show his love. Her promise is to give him a week before she marries Humphrey (Henry Cavill) who is going to Ipswitch to buy her a ring. How about that for a deal? Ain’t true love grand?

Leaving home is a big deal. I still remember the day when I left home for the first time. I was moving about 1,500 miles west to take a summer job at the tender age of 17. Being a boy, I was full of bluff and bullshit but I was a cowering bunny inside. No parents to deflect the rest of local society, no friends to have my back and crack wise with, no idea of where and what anything was. Mind you at that age I thought I was immortal so I could do anything. It was only at night I found that I missed all of the elements with which I’d grown up. I imagine this was the case for Sydney White (Amanda Bynes) when she stands at the open door of the bus with her dad, Paul (John Schneider), saying good bye as she leaves home and extended family to head off to college.

How many of us are closet rockers? I know I am if only I could sing in tune. And so is Rosalie Mullins (Joan Cusack) who thinks she can be a cool as Stevie Nicks at least in her mind. Dewey Finn (Jack Black) takes her to lunch to exploit this whim and to con her into a field trip. A little smooth talk, a little juke box magic and a whole lot of misdirection soon has her moving to the dark side.

Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) is a brilliant scientist and Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) finds him to be a kindred spirit after meeting with him to get some background for a school report. He may be the mentor for which Peter has been searching as he has time for both romance and science much like Peter would like to have with Mary Jane Parker (Kirsten Dunst). But Peter’s view of him is sadly torn asunder when he discovers that this kind and gentle soul has morphed into Doc Ock following the laboratory accident which has fused mechanical arms to his body and killed his beloved.
