Lovely, not girly

Rating: Null/10 (27 August 2011)

So, actually, I HATE Woody Allen films. just saying his name makes me groan and roll my eyes. But I was taking my dad out for his birthday, so we went. And a darn good thing too! The movie was lovely! Owen Wilson was excellent in his role as a successful writer struggling to change, and being too passive- or spineless- to do what he needed to do. The family characters are a little one dimensional, but the heart of the movie isn't about them, but rather the amazing place he finds on his walks at midnight. I was totally caught up in the fiction, and the atmosphere was perfect.
Still hate Allen, but the movie was amazing.
