The dry comedy is as tasty and English as bangers and mash with a side of bubble and squeak. While only a small percentage of people buy these two products for themselves, rest assured a vast majority aid in their consumption. That's why they keep pumping them out. So don't you manufacture one iota of remorse if you want to coo over Meg Ryan, see Lisa Kudrow's Friends act on the big screen, or envy Diane Keaton for directing her own movie in which her character is voted Most Capable of Commanding the Israeli Army. Walter Matthau plays something resembling himself, in the role of their wise-cracking, demented and dying father.

If you simply aren't emotionally ready for two hours of family bonding via the world's most affordable PCS phone plan, buy yourself an all-beef hotdog and go see Boiler Room. Milos Forman, the director of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Amadeus, The People Vs. Larry Flynt and now Man on the Moon , is so talented that he can make a mediocre movie seem monumental. You will never be bored watching this biopic about Andy Kaufman, the comedic genius who became the inter-gender wrestling champion of the world.
