Gyllenhaal, often a distractingly tic-ridden actress who relies heavily on her sex-kitten sultriness, here shows unexpected backbone asasingle mother coming to terms with her own bad habits as she takes yet another chance on a much-married man who's potentially crippled by his.
To make matters even more complicated, the Home Office lists only applications for asylum, so asingleman or a family of ten each counts as one application.
Producers are bewitched by the rock-bottom cost of deploying asingleman (usually) with a mic, just as in the music industry singer-songwriters are said to be outdoing more expensive bands.
