Woody's best in years

Rating: 6/10 (7 January 2012)

i am not a fan of Woody Allen, even less of a fan after his marriage to his adopted daughter, but it seems that Hollywood and the movie-going public can almost forgive anything. And let's face it, he has not made a good movie in years. i know many think Vickie Christina Barcelona was great, but i thought it was awful. Owen Wilson was an odd choice for the lead and his nose distracts me, but i stuck it out and actually enjoyed the film. Owen seemed to be changeling Woody through the whole film. i think Woody wanted to play this role, but realises he isn't a great actor and he is too old now. Perhaps i enjoyed the scenes of Paris more than the film. i love Paris. i had problems with the characters, especially Inez played by Rachel McAdams. i liked the idea of going back in time and living another life, but then it seemed more about him cheating on his girlfriend, which i did not like. If you love Allen or Paris, then i would say watch it, once won't be a complete waste.
