As usual, people have gone mad.

Rating: 4/10 (6 November 2007)

Caught this about 20 minutes in while channel surfing. I saw Johannson and figured it's worth a look. Almost immediately I noticed the incredibly poorly written dialog. I was a bit shocked Scarlett would agree, or her people would agree and recommend, to do a film that was so clearly written by a guy/gal still in drama class, possibly at his or her high school. This is something anyone who's reading this could probably have written. The plot was interesting enough and the flow of the events was in line but the words themselves were so inadequately written, you sort of expected it to be a joke at times.
Well, imagine my shock when I came here to what I thought would be a complete pan of the film and the first thing I see is it's a freaking Woody Allen film. Now I am no Allen fanatic but the guy did write Annie Hall. He can write dialog. But based on this picture I am not completely sure there wasn't a ghostwriter for his 70's, early 80's career.
The movie, is not without some merit. It's the script and it's juvenile delivery of the lines that make it suspect as a general movie, and as an Allen film, a jolt to the system. It's pitiful.
I am glad to see there were at least some reviewers who were sober enough to review the movie with some credibility. If you think this was a masterpiece you must think Caddyshack 2 was a pretty good flick.
