I don't care if I get every bit of negative commentary on IMDb

Rating: 5/10 (21 October 2006)

Look, I have seen good film and quite a few by Woody Allen. This had the potential to be a better movie... It was just thin.
Scarlett Johansson! Every scene she was in, her acting was so bad, I had to be aware I was watching a film. I just could not "buy" her character -- just as Bruce Willis is Bruce Willis in every movie he is in (or used to be in), Scarlett is also unable to take on character. This is really a killer for a movie. I'm not coming to watch an actress, I am here to see a film. Same happened to me with Lost in Translation. (Please! Has anyone seen Hiroshima mon Amour??? but that's another rant...) It's not bad, I gave it a 5! But it's not brilliant...
Ms Johansson is certainly gorgeous and seems reasonably intelligent. But this is not a photo shoot... She just cannot take character.
