What a hack job.

Rating: 3/10 (3 February 2007)

Seriously Did Woody Allen write this as he was shooting it? This story is strung together so whimsically and motivated by dialogue so tough to swallow that even the actors seem at sea, painfully demonstrated by a chorus of flat-as-a-board performances namely the highly overrated "Scleavage Johansson." Who told Allen it was a great idea to make a 2-hour melodrama on the metaphor of luck between love and tennis, anyway? It would be more forgiving had he incorporated any of the usual witty and comedic banter, but sadly, this film takes itself far too seriously. To top it off, lead actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who courts 2 lady lovers in the film, comes across as flaming gay. Talk about unconvincing. Someone please call Manwithavan when Woody releases a film that dares to come close to his 1999 masterpiece, "Sweet and Lowdown."
