content: Michael Douglas astonished me. He's perfect here as the professor. But why on Earth the history had the show the outcast brilliant student ( Tobey MAcGuire ) being gay alongside RObert Downey's character ???!! THe scene where they appear together in bed was so unecessary and bad tasted, I almost puked !! I'm not being moralist, I just think that Downey's character ( the editor ) being gay was enough. Other than this, the movie sometimes is very, very, very slow....
