I love Woody Allen films, but...

Rating: 6/10 (8 September 2006)

First of all, let me state for the record that I am a big Woody Allen fan, and that I totally disagree with the critics who have highly praised this film. Maybe this is just me 'not able to understand', but this was in my opinion just an ordinary film that any decent director could have made, not something worthy of Woody Allen.
I think that for Woody Allen to be filming outside urban New York is like Samson going into a fight with his hair cut. It just isn't there, that something that has made most Woody Allen movies so exceptional. In general I believe that it has been a while since Woody Allen has made a film worthy of his greatness. What a pity...
