Predictable, Boring

Rating: 1/10 (2 January 2006)

If Woody Allen hadn't been involved, would this project have been made? Chloe is boring and saccharine to the point of nausea. A totally clueless character without depth. Her mother, even worse. What did this film have to say? Nothing. How did this film entertain? It didn't. And talk about suspending disbelief. After Nola and the lead have their moment of passion in the rain and lope back into the mansion after having both been gone for a good while, nobody puts two and two together? C'mon. I almost wore out my watch looking at it while waiting for this travesty to end. BTW, when was the last time that a good Irish lad stopped into a Ralph Lauren store in the UK to purchase a sweater when there are so many great local products. Shameless product placement. Woody, nice try, but time to return to your therapist.
