Jessica Simpson stars in this Joe Simpson-produced, Olsen Twins style movie. While it's certainly not going to win any awards, I'm continually amazed whenever I see this woman and think:

1) She was a virgin until she got married
2) Her DAD produces most of these vehicles that have her showing massive amounts of cleavage and
3) She thought buffaloes had wings.

On the cusp of his 30th birthday, Adam (Dylan Walsh) plunges into depression when his first novel is rejected by his sultry boss at a publishing house. During this midlife crisis, Adam details his regrets and failures in a notebook, which his friend Jane (Laurel Holloman) steals and passes off to a publisher. Suddenly, Adam finds himself lauded as the voice of his generation in this surprising comedy directed by Aaron Mendelsohn.

CBS reinvented its post-Letterman Late, Late Show in 2005 with Scotsman Craig Ferguson as host. Ferguson is probably best known as Drew Carey's boss, Mr. Wick, from 'The Drew Carey Show', but he's got a wry sense of humour and seems to have a bizarre touch with his interviews. Ferguson is somewhat awkward, but hopefully with time he'll get comfortable with some time.
