interesting

Rating: 6/10 (4 February 2006)

I typically am not overly fond of Woody Allen films for the most part, however, this is intriguing. Better, by far, than Melinda and Melinda, this is slow...you have to give it time, but it is very interesting. You find yourself sitting asking "why"... why is he doing that, what is he going to do...etc. Comdey aside, much more a philosophically based story... leaves you searching yourself for answers for what you may do if you were to find yourself in the same situation. Scarlett Johannson was good, although not spectacular... her looks are what carried her through the part, although any good looking blond could have taken the role from her... it wasn't "made for her" so to speak. Otherwise a good combination on the rest of the cast. I was pleased with it overall.
