Geek Glasses Transform Sexy Superstars into Really Sexy Superstarsnew

Through a thoroughly scientific study of entirely anecdotal evidence, I am here to prove that oversized, plastic–frame glasses have the power to transform the lamest of losers into the coolest, smartest, funniest, prettiest, best–smelling people who ever did exist.

'The Informant!' Feels like Michael Mann's 'The Insider' Remade as a Blake Edwards Farcenew
