Movie Haiku:SPLIT DECISION: Ephron's update of classic TV series falls flat as a RomCom paring Samantha-the-Witch (Kidman) & Darrin-the-Human (Ferrell), but Jan found it fun as a Feminist Fable. What is it this new "Samantha" really wants? If the answer is GalPals (like she sees on Sex in the City), then this new "Darrin" gives her plenty to kvetch about at the local Starbucks!
