I want my money back

Rating: 1/10 (17 November 2006)

Stereotypical characters as well as a predictable plot make this an utter waste of time. A few moments of pretty decent acting just cant help such a poor storyline. Violence against women again, yawn. Isn't David Mamet's constant input on this subject enough to put us all to sleep without any assistance from Woody Allen. When the main character began to plan to kill the love interest (the whole point of the movie) I simply turned it off. I didn't even bother to finish it. I want my dollar fifty back from the video store. What a huge disappointment. For some reason I thought this might be a good film, something like Merchant Ivory might make. For a great film with a very similar plot watch the old classic A Place In The Sun with Elizabeth Taylor. Woody Allen needs to either read or re-read Julia Cameron's book An Artist Way and refresh his art.
