Couldn't get my wife through the DVD, unfortunately

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2006)

I thought on Ebert's recommendation that this might be a good choice for my wife's entertainment. She likes romantic intrigue and I was willing to suffer through it since its her birthday weekend. But we both were completely unmoved after 30 minutes of narcissistic posturing and prattling. My eyes wrap around Scarlett Johansson every chance I get but this tiresome wade through English upper class society is too much. I suppose it works best as an anthropological survey but I wasn't in the mood for that. Maybe if I ever get invited into those circles, I'll remember this movie and check it out again. But until then, in my opinion, Woody Allen has delivered a movie of very limited interest.
