| | Roger Dodger (2002) |
 | | In Rodger Dodger, writer-director Dylan Kidd's impressive first feature, the battle of the sexes plays out not as a struggle between genders, but as one angry man's war against the women he desires, loathes, and fears. |
 | | And, for the most part, it works, thanks to Kidd's own sardonic wit powering the script and a virtuoso performance by Campbell Scott in the toxic title role, a part one imagines most actors would be afraid to touch without donning a biohazard suit. |
 | | "Roger Dodger" is the childhood nickname of Campbell's character, a sobriquet given him by his older sister for his infallible ability to talk himself out of trouble. |
