Tell 'em Elvis said so.

[I]t's bound to be recognized as a movie worthy of the kind of Oscar attention occasionally given to films that challenge audiences subtly. Mr. Murray could collect the Academy Award that he didn't get for "Rushmore."

Anna Faris, who barely registers in the "Scary Movie" pictures — and she's the star — comes to full, lovable and irritating life as a live-wire starlet complicating Charlotte's life. Ms. Faris has already had work; this movie will secure her a career.

But as a result of Ms. Coppola's faith, this is really Mr. Murray's movie, and his respect for his director couldn't be more visible.

Tell 'em Elvis said so. I used to be critical of Mr. Mitchell, but I've come around, and now he's my second favorite film critic. (#1 is Armond)
