Why aren't any of the characters likable?

Rating: 3/10 (8 July 2006)

You've got a tennis pro who has scraped his way up from the bottom. He's aloof, manipulative and a social climber. He's not likable nor easy to relate to. I'm not sure why we're supposed to care about him or what happens to him. There's no chemistry between him and the other characters even the female lead. The performances seem flat, hollow. Not one character stands out and I found this film to be painful to watch.
I coudn't see the appeal of this film. If the lead character appeals to you then maybe you'll like this film. If you're a Woody Allen fan, more power to you.
