• Not bad but not very satisfactory either posted on 24 August 2009

  In spite of its famous cast,Smart People did not receive too much support from the distribution company Miramax,and after a short ride across a few film festivals,it was finally released on DVD without too much publicity.That is usually a very bad signal,but I think that the problem with this movie was not precisely its quality,but the strange tone from the story and the unusual characters,which do not let it to be easily qualified.I do not think this is a bad movie,but I did not find it very satisfactory either.The plot summary from this movie looks like one of those films which balance humor with drama,at the same time they teach us some truths about human nature.In other words,something like Little Miss Sunshine or Juno,but with the emphasis put on the mature male spectators.But Smart People is too pretentious and solemn for getting that satisfactory combination between humor and drama.The best element from this movie is definitely Thomas Haden Church repeating the same characters he always interprets : a rough but good-natured man who has more knowledge about humanity than all the pretentious "intellectual" people who round on him.I have to admit that Church has a lot of talent for that kind of role,so I do not care if he always repeat it.Dennis Quaid is an excellent actor,but on this movie,he does not seem to very interested in his character.Ellen Page brings a solid performance,and his character in here is very similar to the one she made in Juno.But,as Church,it does not bother me if she repeats this kind of role,because she is very talented for it.I think there have been better movies about men facing the mature age (American Beauty and Wonder Boys are my favourite ones from this sub-genus),but in spite of being pretentious,not very satisfactory and excessively slow,Smart People deserves a slight recommendation because it does not lack of a certain grade of interest.In summary,I did not like this movie too much,but I did not dislike it either.

• Cliché-fest 2008 posted on 22 August 2009

  Obnoxiously written, poorly directed. Emotional advancements occur in completely undeveloped stages. Sarah Jessica Parker is just Carrie Bradshaw dressed like a doctor, and Ellen Page is just Juno dressed like a square. I blame the director for that, not the actresses (well at least not Page). In fact, this movie is virtually plot-free. There are minor character developments, but the audience is never given any compelling reason to care because the characters just aren't well-developed. Quaid is OK, but the script never gave him more to work with than an arrogant-professor-stereotype. Luckily, Thomas Haden Church saves the movie. Church is great, and delivers one-liners so spectacularly that he single-handedly lifts this movie to averageness.

• Smart movie, nice dialogue posted on 14 August 2009

  Smart People is the type of movie I enjoy, that is, a small movie with excellent dialogue and interpersonal relationships. Dennis Quaid has one of his best roles in years and Sarah Jessica Parker does her usual excellent job in this type of role.Ellen Page as Vanessa, the Dennis Quaid character's daughter does a terrific job and is excellent with her cutting remarks on the situations that she and her family get into. Also Thomas Hayden Church does a great job in a role he was made for.If you want a nice film about dysfunctional relationship I highly recommend this movie.Just on a different note, the thought occurs that Dennis Quaid's ex-wife Meg Ryan and Sarah Jessica Parker's husband did a movie several years ago call "Addicted to Love."

• A maybe-dumb view from academia posted on 08 October 2009

  I would recommend this film to my colleagues or maybe the students as well.Being a college faculty member, I did enjoy watching this movie. The interpretation of academic life is exactly what it looks from an insider's point of view, except that I have not got a student's crush yet. Unfortunately, the ending is nothing other than Hollywood. The abrupt character change of Dr. Wetherhold seems sort of unbelievable. I simply wish it could be a tiny bit smarter. Because of the ending, I gave a 9 out of 10. Remember, I am not a professor who gives an easy A.

• Smart People Definitely But a Conventional Plot posted on 08 June 2009

  I like the actors and much of the dialogue in this 2008 comedy, but for an indie film being marketed as the comically idiosyncratic successor to "Sideways" and "Juno", the storyline feels relatively conventional. In fact, as directed by first-timer Noah Murro, the film bears a stronger resemblance to Noah Baumbach's "The Squid and the Whale" in which a disheveled, detestable elitist alienates the world around him with his wounded pride and cynical misanthropy. This time, in Mark Jude Poirier's screenplay, he takes the guise of Lawrence Wetherhold, an English professor at Carnegie-Mellon too smug to nominate himself as department head and wallowing in rejection form publishers over his manuscript. Burnt out from academia and contemptuous of his curriculum in Victorian-era literature, he doesn't bother remembering the names of his returning students. He is also the widowed father of two teens, naturally a study in opposites - Vanessa, a devoted right-wing daughter who shares her father's scabrous surliness and James, a son with a more creative bent whom he summarily ignores.Life gets complicated when Wetherhold ignominiously attempts to scale a chain-link fence in a parking lot only to have a seizure which prevents him from being able to drive legally. Just as Wetherhold's ne'er-do-well, "adopted" brother Chuck shows up at his doorstep to ask for money, Chuck ends up becoming his estranged brother's driver. At the same time, Wetherhold's comely ER doctor Janet Hartigan treats him while harboring a crush she's had on the professor since she was his student a dozen years prior. The rest of the movie takes standard twists and turns, and the problem I was having after a promising introduction was how by-the-numbers the plot developments were, how jumps in the timeline really didn't register coherently, and how contrived some of the baseline premise was, for instance, why an accomplished physician would really expect her professor to remember her after so long and why she would keep the final paper he graded. Even the music soundtrack by Nuno Bettencourt doesn't resonate with any quirkiness.The cast is not to blame for the contrivances as they easily live up to the film's title. Along with Jeff Bridges, Dennis Quaid continues to be one of the more underrated actors around, and he gives a smart, lived-in performance completely devoid of vanity. It's terrific, reassuring work. Echoing some of Carrie Bradshaw's insecurities, Sarah Jessica Parker is in familiar territory as Janet, although she looks sallow and a mite mature for the part. However, she is perfectly adept at conveying her lonely character's emotional hesitancies without having to wear a pair of Manolo Blahniks. Unsurprisingly, the scene stealers are Thomas Haden Church and Ellen Page. As Chuck, Church virtually replays Jack from Alexander Payne's "Sideways" but with a greater core of decency. He lends an unexpected gravitas to his later scenes when he realizes he can't live in his brother's house all the time. Page uses her acerbic persona to confident effect as Vanessa, even though her natural sauciness was better served as a pregnant teen than as a Young Republican accepted to Stanford. Ashton Holmes is given little to do as James, a closet poet, and unfortunately, the normally vivacious Christine Lahti is completely wasted in a fringe role as a college administrator. Marginally disappointing but the cast is worth seeing.

• Excellent example of how subpar scenario work/writing can down a great project posted on 29 July 2009

  This movie is such a fine work in so many ways.It's just a shame that it's "downed" by the poorly worked out storyline, and some poor writing.I've seen other comments on the fact that the love interest for the prof is flimsy and managed way, way too abruptly.It just occurs to me; another commenter cites "The Accidental Tourist" as a good standard against which "Smart People" can be compared.I think a better standard would be "As Good As It Gets." The hero in "Gets" (Nickolson) is way, way more screwed up than Quaid's character. And yet think for a moment about the masterful way "Gets" develops the relationship under emotionally difficult circumstances. By the end of the story, you feel like you've seen a real redemption tale, told as long and as arduously as it had to be told to keep it both believable and yet also somewhat mysterious and mythic. To make Parker's jumping into bed with Quaid believable, I think I must have unconsciously reminded myself that that she *is*, after all, Carrie Bradshaw.These are the kinds of narrative balls that the scenario work on "Smart" drops constantly.And then there are the occasional failures to write for the subject matter. While some of the writing for Quaid did seem professorial, refs to crossword puzzles as an indicator of depth of knowledge were cheap, reminding me of the bit in "Finding Forrester" where we're supposed to recognize the hero's gifts as a writer because he knows a bit of trivia from cheap fiction; the name of the guy who introduced Watson to Holmes. Screen writing (or any other kind of narrative writing, i.e., comics) for characters in fields of expertise is difficult. Most of the time writers just avoid it...which is maybe the smart thing to do.Anyway, all the foregoing is in amazing contrast to the degree of artistry lavished in every other aspect of this movie; the acting, directing in general, editing, lighting, sound work, scene-to-scene pacing; all excellent.It's perhaps a kind of homage to Aldous Huxley, with his cautionary image of "the feelies" in "Brave New World"; if the narrative sucks--if it lacks mythic resonance--just hang it up. If you have mythic power, you can almost blow off other aspects of the production. The power of the core image will come through and make the work timeless.

• Review: Smart People posted on 17 July 2009

  There's a different between being intelligence and being smart. Because the people who are being smart doesn't mean they have to be intelligence. On the other hand, people who have intellectual doesn't mean they are going to be smart. And by that, I think Smart People is such a wrong title for this movie. Because characters in this film often showed what they are good of, regardless of right or wrong, and thinking that they are superior to anybody they knew. And because of that, they became pretty unlikable. In fact, if they have something like a contest to submit your own title for this film, Obnoxious People is much more appropriate one.Lawrence Wetherhold is miserable and a misanthrope: he's a widower, a pompous professor at Carnegie Mellow, an indifferent father to a college student and a high-school senior, and the reluctant brother of a ne'er-do-well who's come to town. A seizure and a fall send Lawrence to the emergency room where the physician, a former student of his, ends up going on a date with him. His daughter, Vanessa, lonely and friendless, whose been bonding with his brother, tries to sabotage dad and the doctor's relationship, but Lawrence is good at that without help. Is there any way these smart people can get a life? Can happiness be pursued beneath layers of irony? (Thanks, IMDb. It's seem I'm more and more lazy to make my own synopsis haha+) Even though the film packed with witty and funny dialogs, but the fundamental is just simply wrong. I wouldn't say they completely abandoned moral or anything. But I think they're looking from a wrong perspective. Smart People should have been interesting if one can see from an ordinary people's point of view, to look inside what's a deal with an intellectual one. But it didn't, because all we saw is so called "smart" people struggling and whining in their already blessed life. In fact, I think nothing in this film is ever going help audience to love protagonists. Even though we knew that he (and she) is going to learn some valuable lesson in the end, but in my humble opinion, he (and she) just doesn't deserves it.So that's come to the problem, because the character that Dennis Quaid and Ellen Page played are such an obnoxious characters. And yet it worsens by the fact that they're the key role in this film. For this kind of film, Dennis Quaid's character is supposed to be a lovable asshole (like he did in Great Balls of Fire!). But the more I saw it, I was kind of doubt about "loveable". Because the way he treated people around him is just not very nice. And there's not enough time for an audience to appreciate his redemption moments. For Ellen, I can see a lot of Juno kind of vibe in this film (it's like she's still fascinated by playing Juno MacGuff). But one think that sorely missed in Jono-like persona, is likeness. Because all I got it from her performance is only smart mouth brat that will urge you to strangle her with your bare hands.With a little surprised in supporting roles, Sarah Jessica Parker is the best thing in this film. Her sympathy performance adds a little heart in this lifeless dramady. Her best scene occurred when she's having a second doubt in her relationship with Dennis Quiad's character. Also, Thomas Haden Church might not do something significant in this film, but he's just damn fun to watch. It reminds me one of his best performance in Alexander Payne's Sideway Smart People may attracts some people who are fond of Woody Allen-like sharp as razor lines. But unlike his films, there's a little heart that poured into this one. It reminds me one of last year frustrating experience that I have in Noah Baumbach's Margot at the Wedding. And just like that film, Smart People is an intelligent film, but it's also dry piece of cinema that will definitely leave a bad taste after you've watched it.

• unripe and reminiscent of the excellent 'The Accidental Tourist' posted on 17 July 2009

  I've just seen this film and read a number of reviews about it. Many reviewers are referencing 'Little Miss Sunshine', 'The Family Stone', etc. But I left the theatre thinking of the wonderful, beautifully balanced and developed, fun film, 'The Accidental Tourist'--another film about an emotionally deadened, difficult man who is suffering from the loss of a loved one and is 'redeemed' through love. Talk about quirky families; the one in 'Tourist' puts most of the rest to shame. The difference perhaps in the quality of these films (Tourist very high, Smart People quite low, many others in the 'genre' somewhere inbetween) lies in that The Accidental Tourist was based on the highly crafted, moving novel of the same title by the gifted writer Anne Tyler. What stands out for me again and again as I work up my courage to attend recent releases is that the quality of screenplay writing in Hollywood and elsewhere is low, low, low. Rushed, pressured, unbaked--too many films being made too fast, with scripts that bore and confuse us with unconvincing plots and thin characters. This film, Smart People, could have been--with revision and review--a much better, more engaging, moving picture. The script simply wasn't ready for production; the story isn't there.

• grammatical errors posted on 13 July 2009

  I want to recommend "Smart People," which was an excellent character study about a family with complex and difficult dispositions. However, I am a grammarian and was surprised that Dennis Quaid's character, who possessed a doctorate in English, and his brilliant daughter both made simple grammatical mistakes.1. The College professor said "NONE of you LIKE me." NONE is singular and he should have said "NONE of you LIKES me."2. His daughter said "He leaves them LYING around." She should have said "He leaves them LAYING around." A human will be LYING around, but an object will be LAYING around.Maurice Barringer

• Smart Babble Wins No Points posted on 17 June 2009

  Lisa Simpson is smart and often right about things. When she gets one-uped in the intelligence arena she usually sees is as an opportunity to learn and make new friends (of which she has few) like when she met the new girl at school who was younger, smarter and could also plays the sax- better. Or when she met Paul McCartney. But like I said, she's lonely, marooned by keen mind and opinions she can't restrain herself from having and vocalizing. Being smart isn't all it's cracked up to be.Maybe that's the message the movie makers were going for in Smart People. Sure these people are smart- that's a given! (Is it?) But are they happy? No. They're miserable. They're flamboyant jerks. They're book smart, sure, maybe. But emotionally? No. Functionally? Not at all. The college professor can't even operate a condom. Gets a girl pregnant who he has only dated for a short time, each date ending in argument and hurt feelings and one or the other of the two calling the other "an asshole". So… Smart People, shouldn't't you keep the baby, get married and magically all will be well? You worry about what kind of life the kid will have.This movie is bleak, depressing. The actors in it are all fine actors. Generally they all are in better movies. Like the Smart People in the movie they made poor decisions. Though they acted well in the movie, the movie was uneven, strangely unresolved, not a smart choice for my rental that night. There was one fun part, where in two of the characters get high and watch Mexican soap operas, laughing and interpreting zanily. But that can't carry the movie. If you want feel good-don't rent this. If you want clever- this has that, but it goes absolutely no where, and clever dialogue aside, much of what goes on is brainlessness, short term decision making, and audience frustration.

• Dumb and Formulaic! posted on 15 June 2009

  'Smart People' is dumb and formulaic. The formula is crap-middle-of-the-road-white-pop-rock-song, fade-out as dialogue begins, scene ends, another crap-middle-of-the-road-white-pop-rock-song, fade-out, dialogue begins, scene ends, crap-middle-of-the-road-white-pop-rock-song, fade-out as dialogue begins, scene ends, another crap-middle-of-the-road-white-pop-rock-song, fade-out, dialogue begins etcDumb film-making for a dumb audience. Is Sarah Jessica Parker really beautiful? Really? Finally, the Juno actress needs to learn about diction and stop croaking from the back of her throat. She is one uncharismatic actor if there ever was one and I was hoping the house would be burgled and her character shot between the eyes with a 44 Magnum!"Get the squibs ready!"

• What an annoying bunch of jerks. posted on 06 July 2009

  Cranky family learns to love and have a good time. Dennis Quaid is a super intelligent but miserable professor with a son who doesn't care for him, a daughter-Ellen Page playing a Juno variation- who is equally smart and miserable as her dad, an adopted brother, Thomas Haden Church who is a loafer, and a doctor he's trying to woo, Sarah Jessica Parker. Give it points for allowing everyone to turn in really good performances, but take some away because the film feels so constructed as to be completely unreal. Say what you will about Ellen Page in Juno spouting charming remarks, here she does the same thing and it comes off forced. Its an independent film trying to be quirky and you can feel it. If it wasn't for the name stars this film would not have gotten any sort of notice. (And yes I who don't particularly like Jessica Parker and Haden Church really do like them in this film.). Unremarkableness aside, its still worth a look on cable.

• A family stuck in limbo after a wife/mother's death learns to live and love again posted on 06 March 2009

  I loved "Juno" because of the clever dialogue thanks to Diablo Cody's writing.Ellen Page was definitely the star of 'Juno' with the other actors merely acting as straight men to her lines. 'Smart People' was also clever but for exactly the opposite reasons. Dennis Quaid looked and acted precisely like the crusty English prof he was meant to be; Ellen Page was the nerdy daughter who ferociously protected her widowed father while attempting to fill her mother's shoes in running the household, at the expense of her own happiness; and Thomas Haden Church was an unexpected star. He had snappy lines and ended up being the glue that held a hurting family together. The family was like a four legged table that was suddenly missing a leg...Church's character, the adopted wayward brother of Quaid, served as a sounding board and liaison that worked to bring them all together.The story line was thin and a throwaway but I didn't want the movie to end because I cared about the characters and wanted to see how they turned out in the end. I wanted them and needed them to be alright.

• "Smart People" Smart? You got it, but intelligence isn't every thing... posted on 06 January 2009

  "Smart People" has all the ingredients for a successful comedy. It has a great cast, interesting characters and fine performances all around, but something is desperately missing. After watching this film I couldn't help but feel empty, because nothing that happened in the film moved me.Dennis Quaid plays college professor Lawrence Wetherfold. He's a widower and a father of two. He fails to connect with his son, played by Ashton Holmes, and he's too similar to his straight laced daughter played by Ellen Page.He has an adopted brother named Chuck and he's played wonderfully by Thomas Hayden Church. Chuck is the antithesis of Lawrence. He gives into life's indulgences, where as Lawrence doesn't and he convinces his niece Vanessa to do the same for fear that she will turn into Lawrence one day.Vanessa is the most interesting character in the movie. She's played by Juno star Ellen Paige, and she comes off as the antithesis of Juno. While Juno just does whatever she feels, Vanessa is a straight laced, goodie two shoes who's never lived a day in her life. To anyone who says Ellen Paige only has one note, think again. This girl has all sorts of range. The problem is her characters relationship with Chuck becomes really sweet until a small twist ruins the bonding experience.In an act of immaturity, Lawrence leaps a parking lot fence and lands with a mild seizure. He wakes up in the hospital under the care of a doctor played by Sarah Jessica Parker, who was one of his students in the past, and a predictable romance brews.An unfortunately for Mrs. Parker she really gets the short end of the stick. Her character lacks the dimensions of the other characters, and she disappears from the screen for long stretches of time. Upon first viewing I assumed this role was intended for a smaller actress and SJP was only added for marketing. But I was wrong. The first choice for the role of the doctor was Oscar winner Rachel Weisz, and it's a waste of talent either way.So if the acting is good, and the characters are interesting, then what's the problem? The story. Nothing really happens in "Smart People". The film moves from one scene to the next with very little change in the characters we grow attached to. There's one big twist at the end, and if that twist occurred closer the middle the story might have had an emotional impact, but it fails to leave any sort of impact. I watched the credits roll with the feeling that a great movie was cut short, and when you see them film you'll know what I mean.Despite my mixed feelings, I see the potential in this film. In a way I've come attached to the characters and it's a little disappointing that they don't change much. "Smart People" is one of those rare instances where a sequel is necessary. With a more challenging script, another "Smart People" film could be special, but for the time being this film isn't special at all.2.5/4 stars

• Allow yourself to live. Can a person be too smart? posted on 06 January 2009

  SMART PEOPLE is a temperamental comedy that puts focus on a dysfunctional family you can't help but like. Complicated characters that can be tolerated because of who they are. Afterall family is family even if every member lives in their own world. Lawrence Wetherhold(Dennis Quaid)is a widower and very self-absorbed professor. Misunderstood mostly and definitely not one who has mastered social skills. The professor begins dating one of his former students, Janet Hartigan(Sarah Jessica Parker), who is now an emergency room doctor. His dating is his first since the death of his wife and doesn't sit well with his over achieving daughter Vanessa(Ellen Page). Adding to the mix is Lawrence's adopted brother Chuck(Thomas Hayden Church), who you may say is a lay-about, unmotivated freeloader. Life is only as complicated as you make it. The character interaction is at times hilarious. There seems to be a dry wit that prevails. And you really do care about these people.This movie is by all means interesting with engaging characters. Page is excellent as the sharp-tongued genius. Church is surprisingly more than ordinary. Believable, smart and highly recommended.

• Smart characters, dead story. posted on 06 January 2009

  Smart people is about just that-- a family network of smart people. The characters are the best part of this film-- without them, it would fall even harder then it did.The problem with Smart People is that it doesn't go anywhere. The plot runs along, just like a normal life. The thing is, normal everyday life usually isn't all that interesting.This was sold as a comedy/drama, however very little humour was used in the film, the majority arising from Ellen Page's performance, which was easily the best of the cast. Even her jokes barely managed a laugh! Smart people went to long. Smart People had no direction. Smart people wasn't funny. Smart People was just like that teacher at high school-- knows everything, but rambles on about it so nobody pays attention.

• People like you and me don't need to compensate. posted on 24 May 2009

  My first impression of this movie was that the casting was brilliant. I must have been right as I see they were nominated for a casting award.Dennis Quaid was a perfect pick for a burnt out, pompous professor, who was self-absorbed to the point of nausea. What Sarah Jessica Parker saw in him was completely beyond me. The fact that she would even speak to him after their "date" was incredible.Thomas Haden Church was brilliant as a loser brother reminiscent of The Dude - get him a bathrobe.Now, Miss Page, while channeling Michael J. Fox in a Growing Pains performance, was a disappointment. No, not her performance, but having Juno with a picture of Ronald Reagan on her wall was just too much to stomach.Ultimately, the great casting couldn't make up for an over-worn story that left me as cold as a Bush farewell address.

• Nauseous on the Right posted on 24 May 2009

  Greetings again from the darkness. Billed as "From the Producer of Sideways", the similarities end there. The filmmakers should be sued for slander by just mentioning the far superior "Sideways" in the same breath. Brief overview ... too boring, too few laughs, vile characters, slow story and nothing of interest or insight. Oh, and by the way, self-absorption is not underrated.The only reasons I don't rate this even lower is because Thomas Haden Church and Ellen Page at least put out some effort despite the lack of creativity written into their roles. Sarah Jessica Parker does dial down her usual annoyance factor, but her character displays such stupidity and lack of judgment in chasing the slovenly professor that it just becomes unbearable.As for Dennis Quaid in the lead role, he is just totally miscast. The fake pot belly, inconsistent limp and absurd hair and beard just play right into the one-trick pony that is his stereotypical widower professor.In the end, if any of us want to be totally miserable around a family, it might as well be our own.

• Dry,downbeat and slow;plenty of potential that works when it doesn't stall posted on 05 December 2009

  Professor Lawrence Weatherly(Dennis Quaid,keeping the "Rolled out of bed"look throughout the entire movie,it appears)walks zombie-like through his life as a Carnegie Mellon University English instructor,a widower and father to two dyspeptic kids--budding Republican anti-socialite Vanessa(Ellen Page,anti-Juno)and lifeless James(Ashton Holmes),a student at dad's university--who becomes even less personable when his un-inspired(but far from stupid)adopted brother Chuck(Thomas Haden Church,effortless and fantastic here)moves in,needing money. Were that not enough to rankle an already depressed and anti-social man like the professor,he injures himself in a painfully embarrassing attempt to re-possess his car and his emergency room trip reunites him with a former student who's now an attending physician(Sarah Jessica Parker). Naturally,since he was a generally snide and tough-to-bear teacher,this doctor also is among those who have issues with the prof,but since this is a quirky movie set around relationships,one can deduce without being a film major what is about to transpire between those two.Director Noam Purro and Screenwriter MArk Poirer have set up a sly,interesting film with real characters and genuine humor. It just feels like this movie...the right word seems to be drags...and that,coupled with the sort of forced relationship dynamics(particularly with the Doctor and her former Prof)make this tough to swallow as a whole product. Still,this movie's an intriguing offering,and based on its parts,this is quite watchable. Just don't expect any wondrous results in terms of the story,because just like its characters,the movie's makers seem a little too convinced of their own intelligence than feeling like they have to prove it. More heart(strange than it sounds)than real savvy are Smart People.

• Dull as watching paint dry posted on 05 October 2009

  I expected Smart People to be funny in that subtle witty type of way. Hugely disappointed in this movie. I kept waiting for something to happen and nothing ever did. It was like a dinner party that goes to long with people running out of things to say. In one painful part to sit through Sarah Jessica Parker who plays a doctor is tending to Dennis Quaid when his overachiever daughter played by Ellen Page comes in.What was supposed to be biting humor between the daughter and doctor was dull. Nothing witty about the exchange. At that point i would have gladly welcomed raunchy fart humor to break up the boredom of it all. This movie never gets to where it was going in anyway. I watched it from start to finish I don't know. Lost part of my life I'll never get back. Sarah Jessica Parker should only appear in Sex and the City or Square Pegs.
