On the cleverness scale, with (to use a television analogy) something like _Three's Company_ on one end and _Seinfeld_ on the other, this is closer to the former. The equivalent of someone running into a closet when they think it's the front door--ha ha. Finally saw _The Big Year_ a few days ago after all the enthusiasm for it on this listserv, and it was pretty good. Wish Jack Black's character had beaten the Owen Wilson. TH
